Well, it’s almost time to close that beautiful patio because it’s too cold outside. But if you have the right heater, you might not have to close it at all! There are a number of factors to consider when choosing the right outdoor heater. But once you have the right one for your patio, you can enjoy those sunsets again. With the nights coming early, you can look forward to a beautiful warm glow on the patio all day long!

Well, just like with anything, there are a few factors to consider before you start searching for the perfect patio heater. These parameters will help you narrow down your search results. There are tons of heater options out there, so make sure you know what you’re looking for before diving in.

Probably the biggest decision you will have to make before you go hunting for stoves is the type of stove you want. The most common types of stoves used are electric and propane. Of course, there is also the old classic wood burning stove. The main advantage of using a propane stove is its cost-effectiveness. Propane is cheaper than electricity when you compare the number of units of heat it generates. It is also easy to set up, unlike wood or kerosene burning stoves.

The next thing to consider is how big the patio is and how much of it you want to be heated. Heaters do not work the same way outdoors as they do indoors. Because there is no warm air circulation, the area you want to be heated plays a major role in selecting your heater.
