Best Electric Patio Heaters

It comes with a variety of heat settings, and it also protects you from overheating. It's also easy to move around your garden.

Gas patio heaters can put out lots of warmth over a bigger area, but it will require regular refills of propane or natural gas. This is a great option for large gardens that are equipped with plenty of outdoor seating and sofas.

1. Infrared heaters

The majority of the freestanding electric patio heaters we test were infra red models. These are cheaper than gas-powered versions and, assuming you choose wisely they'll have lower running costs too. You don't need to refill a tank with propane, and there's no assembly required.

The best ones have a remote control that makes the operation simple and have an LED light integrated for ambience. One of our top picks is from German company Herschel. It makes use of circular filaments to disperse infrared mediumwave heat over an area that is the size of a table. It comes with easy-to-use heating settings and a 360deg rotation. The Westinghouse 1500 Watt Infra-red Heater is a different option. It makes use of an aluminum reflector that focuses the beams of heat on your favorite area.

Both models are energy efficient and emit a soft and clean glow. However, the Herschel is more sleek and more suited for modern garden rooms or if you're looking to blend it in with your outdoor furniture. It can be used with home automation systems, which allow you to select your preferred temperature and brightness. This could help you save money over time.

It is important to keep in mind that while infrared heat is effective but it only warms the objects and people who are directly in the vicinity of the heater. It will not be effective if you move away. It also won't heat your patio if the winds blow it around.

Gas heaters on the contrary, will heat more space in the event that they are not moved. They can also be equipped with a shield to ensure they stay in place. They are often located in pub gardens. They provide a cozy 'burning log' effect that is attractive in a variety of decors.

Propane patio heaters can be less efficient, and can also produce a lot more smog and noise. In contrast to propane that is stored in a cylinder and requires refilling after it has run out, most electric heaters don't require refilling at all and are more environmentally friendly. Gas heaters are more expensive and generate a higher degree of heat.
