OUTDOOR HEATER OPTIONS

1. Electric Patio Heaters - Electric patio heaters require lower clearances, and have an overall lower cost of ownership, less maintenance, and more control options. Safer for covered porches and enclosed areas.
2. Gas Patio Heaters - Gas patio heaters produce more heat than electric. A great solution for colder climates and larger spaces, especially commercial ones. Overhead and freestanding options are available.
3. Portable Propane Heaters - Portable propane patio heaters are great for open spaces where overhead heaters cannot be mounted. Popular as a quick or seasonal patio heating solution.
4. Pyramid Patio Heaters - Pyramid patio heaters produce the least amount of heat but they create a beautiful ambiance. This type of heater is best paired with another overhead heater for the best result.
