Keep comfortable with Infrared Patio Heaters

Have you ever felt the warmth of the sun on a cool day? That’s exactly how an outdoor patio heater works. The heat from an infrared heater is similar to the sun’s warmth, easily absorbed by objects and people it touches. It creates a cozy atmosphere both indoors and outdoors by warming surfaces rather than just the air. This makes infrared heaters ideal for any situation where comfort is key.

Safety First

Safety should always be a priority when choosing a patio heater. One major advantage of infrared heaters is that their core temperature remains lower compared to traditional heaters. For added security, these heaters often come with a protective metal casing around the heating elements. Always remember to read the user manual thoroughly and follow all safety instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Versatile Placement Options

Depending on the model you choose, some infrared patio heaters can be moved around easily. Brands like Sunglo and Patio Comfort offer portable options, allowing you to set them up wherever you prefer. Imagine hosting a gathering in your backyard; if the event shifts to the front yard, simply wheel the heaters over to keep everyone comfortable. Alternatively, you could hang them from the ceiling of a covered patio or stabilize them with a free-standing pole. Other brands such as Infratech and Sunpak also provide installation options on ceilings or poles but additionally allow wall mounting. These latter models are great if you’re looking for a sleek, flush-mounted look. The Infratech heater even offers a range of controls, including a heater duplex switch, so you can adjust the temperature as needed.

Fast Heating

One of the standout features of infrared patio heaters is their ability to provide instant warmth. Unlike traditional heaters that rely on heating the air, infrared heaters emit radiant heat that quickly warms objects and people in its path. If you're hosting an impromptu get-together, you can turn on the heaters and enjoy immediate comfort for you and your guests.

Cost Efficiency

Patio heaters operate on the principle of zonal heating, focusing only on the areas that need warming rather than the entire outdoor space. By installing these heaters on walls or suspending them from ceilings, you can effectively heat specific areas, reducing energy consumption significantly. This approach can cut heating costs by up to 30 to 50 percent, making infrared heaters a smart financial choice.

Energy Efficiency

Compared to conventional heaters, portable outdoor infrared heaters consume much less energy while delivering the same level of warmth. Some Infratech and Sunpak heaters can operate efficiently with as little as 300 watts of electricity. Utilizing reflective metal surfaces, these heaters maximize heat output, ensuring nearly all generated heat reaches its intended target. Since you can activate them only when necessary, this contributes to greater energy efficiency.

Harmless Rays

The infrared rays emitted by patio heaters are entirely safe. They outperform fire pits in terms of effectiveness and offer several safety benefits. You can select from multiple power sources—propane, natural gas, or electricity. Portable heaters are incredibly convenient, offering flexibility when not in use.
