Restoration Hardware Outdoor Heater Collection. Grab a few blankets, a glass of wine or some hot cocoa and enjoy your deck in the Winter.
You invested in creating and taking care of your perfect outdoor deck. Spending time enjoying your backyard deck should not have to be cut short just because the weather is getting cooler. There are several different styles of outdoor heaters. Decide on a good central location for the heater, and then you can choose which style works best for you. There are freestanding models, tabletop models, and wall/ceiling mount models.
Outdoor heaters are designed to take the bite out of the chilly air on your deck. They warm the outdoors with a stable, clean heat to a specific area. There is no smoke, smell, dirt, or ashes to worry about, such as with a camp fire or fire pit.
Outdoor heaters warm the area around them by creating a high quantity of radiant heat. Radiant heat travels through the air and heats the objects in the patio heaters range directly. This is much more efficient than a space heater, which will just blow the heat out into the air where it disappears.
Outdoor heaters are available with three different fuel sources: natural gas, propane, and electric.
- Natural gas heaters have the lowest fuel cost to operate and are the most reliable. Natural gas patio heaters are installed permanently and may need to be installed by a professional. They are available as full-size units fixed into the ground or as wall/ceiling mounted units.
- Propane heaters have the highest fuel cost to operate, but are the most popular type of patio heater. They offer mobility, are the easiest to use, and do not need professional installation. They are available as freestanding units, tabletop units, and wall/ceiling mounted units.
- Electric heaters have an operating cost that runs in between natural gas and propane. They can range in size from small and mobile to large and industrial. Electric heaters are the only style patio heater that can be used in an enclosed space. They may need professional installation depending on the type of voltage and wiring needed.
