Outdoor Heaters: Choosing the Right One for You
The summer season is coming to an end
and the temperatures will begin to drop, but that doesn't mean that
this is the end of the great outdoor moments. To prolong the outdoor
season, you need one thing – an outdoor heater. Outdoor heaters are
a valuable addition to any outdoor space, because of the simple
reason that they add warmth and comfort in the cooler and rainy days.
Regardless if you want to enjoy your morning coffee on the terrace or
if you enjoy entertaining outdoors with your friend, an outdoor
heater what you need.
Buying an outdoor heater is not
difficult, there is a wide variety of heaters available on the
market. You can choose among outdoor
heaters
in a white variety of types, sizes, shapes and power options. In
order to help you to make a good choice that will match your outdoor
space and specific needs, we've outlined the most important things
that you need to consider.
The Size of Your Space
The size of your outdoor space is the
first thing that you need to keep in mind when choosing an outdoor
heater. In fact, considering the specific size specifications of your
space will help you to determine whether you should choose a mobile
heater, free standing heater, tabletop heater, ceiling mount heater
or a fire pit. For example, if you need to warm a smaller space and
if you need a higher flexibility a smaller portable heater will
certainly be of great help for you. On the other side, if your space
is larger, a good option for you would be a fire pit.
Heat Source
When it comes to choosing a heat
source, the most popular options on the Australian market are:
electricity, natural gas and propane gas. Each of these power sources
have certain advantages and disadvantages.
Electrical heaters are
inexpensive and safe to operate(there is no risk of carbon monoxide
leakage). The only downside of the electrical outdoor heaters is the
dependence of an electrical outlet, which poses certain limitations.
Gas outdoor heaters are a
convenient and cost-efficient solution that might fit in different
outdoor spaces. However, connecting them to a gas line might is in
many cases difficult and is not always obtainable.
Propane heaters are easy to use
and move from one place to another within your outdoor area. However,
although propane is easy-accessible and cost-efficient power source,
it is not the safest option because it is highly combustible. To
avoid safety concerns associated with the use of propane, if you
choose this type of outdoor heater, make it a point to place it in an
area with good ventilation.
