Our luxury portable patio heaters from Evenglo, Infratech, Sunpak, Dimplex, Bromic and Lynx are built with durability and reliability to withstand the elements and provide warmth for years.

Patio heaters are a great choice when it comes to extending the outdoor season. However, one of the key questions many people ask is whether gas or electric patio heaters might be the better choice. There are obvious benefits to both. Ultimately, which type works best will depend on the size of the area to be heated, existing power sources, and also personal preference in regard to appearance and control of the heater. Let’s take a look at some of the key arguments for each option. Electric vs. Gas Patio Heaters - Which should I choose? (bromic.com)

Outdoor Gas or Electric Heaters: Which Ones for Me?

Patio heaters are a great choice when it comes to extending the outdoor season. However, one of the key questions many people ask is whether gas or electric patio heaters might be the better choice. There are obvious benefits to both. Ultimately, which type works best will depend on the size of the area to be heated, existing power sources, and also personal preference in regard to appearance and control of the heater.

#8. Bromic Heating BH0110003-1 Smart-Heat Platinum 500 Radiant Infrared Patio Heater

If you’re looking for a sleek, discreet heater for uninsulated spaces, look no further than the Bromic Heating BH0110003-1 Smart-Heat Platinum 500 Radiant Infrared Patio Heater. As opposed to freestanding heaters, this one is meant to be mounted permanently on a wall or ceiling, so there’s nothing to trip over.

For modern homes and contemporary spaces, this is one of the best patio heaters you can buy (if your pockets are deep enough, that is). Providing direct and automated ignition, this powerhouse heater pumps out 39,800 BTUs (up to 200 square feet of coverage), and its slow-release ceramic burners are environmentally friendly.

The patented screen and ionization probe technology provides excellent wind resistance (up to 12 miles per hour), and the pivoting mount bracket lets you control heat distribution as needed. If you have the money to spare, you won’t be disappointed with this bad boy.

This is one of our most expensive patio heaters on the guide, but it is designed with power efficiency and quality in mind. However, if you did want a more affordable option, you could opt for the Dr. Infrared Heater DR-238 that is also wall-mounted.

Infratech Electric Heaters

Infratech Electric Patio Heaters - Cocktails under the stars. Now there is an eco-friendly way to turn up the ambience with Infratech Electric Patio Heaters. These low-profile electric patio heaters coordinate with many decor styles, and offer silent operation and superior performance compared to gas, with no harmful emissions or odors. Infratech electric patio heaters are over 90% energy efficient, UL listed for outdoor and indoor use and are easy and inexpensive to operate.

What to Consider

Power Source

Most patio heaters are either gas-powered (propane or natural) or electric. Both types emit infrared energy. Unlike a space heater, which blows air across a hot electric coil to warm the air, a patio heater projects an infrared beam that travels through the air without heating it. When the infrared energy strikes a solid object like a person or furnishings, the beam converts to heat.

Propane

A propane patio heater is more portable, and oftentimes comes with a wheeled base so you to easily move around your deck or patio depending on the wind or seating situation. Gas is also typically cheaper than electric, so the overall cost to run is typically less.

Unfortunately, the flame of a gas patio heater can be blown out by the wind, meaning you’ll have to restart everything to keep the heat going. These types of heaters also require more regular cleaning, because bugs and debris may affect the burner and burner screen. You also have to get the propane tanks refilled if they run out.

Natural Gas

Natural gas patio heaters are essentially the same as propane gas models, but they are less expensive to operate, and don’t require refills since gas is piped into it (similar to a home furnace). But like other patio heaters, keeping the appliance in a fixed location may affect the heating capability.

Electric

Since electric power heaters don’t require propane or a flame to run, then they can’t be blown out by the gusts of wind, and are generally the most convenient to use. They also don’t require a lot of maintenance, besides clearing off pesky cobwebs or bug webs in the off season. A permanently installed structure could potentially contribute to resale value, too. However, you’d likely be faced with permit requirements, and eating the cost of electrical work by a professional if anything goes awry.

Electric models can also be more expensive to operate, and keeping the heater in a fixed location might not be the most ideal for the seating arrangement.

Pellet

Pellet patio heaters aren’t the most commonly used, but they may be ideal depending on your exact needs. These models use compressed wood as their fuel source, and have a combustion chamber where the pellets are burned to produce heat. Pellet heaters are generally a more sustainable and eco-friendly option, because they use a renewable fuel source and release fewer emissions.

They also efficiently produce heat with less waste, and pellets are often cheaper and more consistent in price. However, you’ll have to have a supply of pellets on hand, and access to a reliable power source to operate the ignition system.

Heat Output

One of the most important factors to consider is how much heat you’ll get from your patio heater. The output is measured in BTUs. To put it simply, the more BTUs you have heading at you, the warmer you feel. A decent-sized patio heater usually produces between 30,000 and 50,000 BTUs per hour. Several models on our list emit over 40,000 BTUs, making them ideal options for keeping larger yards and outdoor spaces warm.

It’s important to remember that depending on whether the appliance is gas or electric, then the heat output and longevity varies. Gas patio heaters might not last as long, but they generate more heat. Electric patio heaters typically have a longer lifespan, and might be a more energy-efficient choice. If you plan to spend several hours outside, opt for an electric model. If you’re just heading to the backyard for a quick hang out, then a gas heater might be the way to go.

Range

To get the best performance out of your patio heater, think about its BTU rating in relation to the size of your outdoor space, as well as the climate. If you live in an area with bone-chilling temperatures, you might benefit from an appliance that has a high BTU output and a wide coverage area, or invest in multiple units. If you’re just trying to keep things reasonably toasty on your patio, then a model with mid-range coverage can suffice.
