Patio heaters can be powered by gas, electricity, wood substitutes, or Alco-gels. They can warm a small area or an entire patio. Most of them work best when placed near a wall or a fence. But before you make your purchase, it's important to know the basics of these products.
When choosing a patio heater, look for one with ETL certification. This ensures safety. ETL Approval means that the heater is approved and UL Listed for safety. UL Listed models are generally top brands, whether they are utilitarian or decorative. They will meet all safety regulations.
Patio heaters with ETL approval are perfect for outdoor events and gatherings. They feature a high quality, powder-coated iron body to prevent rust. Propane is the preferred fuel, but butane or LPG can also be used. A patio heater with ETL certification is safe for both gas and electricity, and it meets ETL safety standards.
Electric patio heaters also require less maintenance than gas heaters. They can be hardwired or plugged into a standard outlet. The best way to install them is to contact a professional. There are two basic types of electric heaters: free-standing and wall-mounted. The latter can stand alone on the patio or be wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted. Both types are easy to install. Most of them plug into a standard household outlet. They can also be portable or fixed in a specific location.
