Propane radiant heaters consume oxygen to burn, thus it is vital that they be
properly installed and used correctly to prevent the risk of illness and even
death.
Although there are other solutions available to you to heat your deck or patio,
such as a wood burning furnace or fireplace and electric radiant heaters, a
propane radiant heater offers many advantages to these. First, a wood burning
fireplace or furnace requires regular maintenance to keep the fire burning. Also
there is the preparation and storing of wood to use the wood burning
fireplace/furnace. Then there’s the mess of burning wood. And with electric
radiant heaters, there’s the high cost of running electricity and the need for
an electrical outlet nearby. Albeit, these other outdoor heating solutions may
be cheaper to purchase, however, their benefits pale in comparison to the
incredible amount of warming heat that propane radiant heaters output.

Outdoor propane
heaters operate off of radiant heat. Unlike other types of heating, which heat
the air within its local vicinity, radiant heat warms objects directly in front
of them, including people, within its range. Also, contrary to other forms of
heating, radiant heat warms objects immediately.
Outdoor propane radiant heaters are available in a plethora of styles and
shapes. Thus they can immediately take the chill out of any outdoor party or
gathering. They are available as permanent fixtures, portable free standing
units, and wall and ceiling mounted units. They also come in a variety of sizes
and heat output ratings.

Propane radiant heaters are also very efficient and clean burning. They produce
virtually zero pollution, thus making them the perfect patio or deck heating
solution for both your guests and the environment.
The only real negative with propane radiant heaters is that they cost more to
operate than a wood burning fireplace. Typically they cost about the same to
operate as an electric radiant heater. The other minor issue is that propane
radiant heaters can require a separate tank for holding the propane fuel.
So utilize your deck or patio well into the late evenings by installing propane
radiant heaters on or around them. You’ll be amazed at all the additional
outdoor good times you’ll be able to share with your family and friends by
adding a little heat to these outdoor living spaces.
