If your home has an outdoor patio, you likely want to get as much use out of it as possible. However, colder temperatures during fall and winter can make it uncomfortable to stay outside for long. Luckily, you can add a propane-powered patio heater to your outdoor space for added comfort and warmth during the chillier seasons. Here’s a closer look at how having a patio with a gas heating system can maximize the enjoyment of your outdoor living space. 

Why Should You Get a Propane-Powered Patio Heater?

1. Extended Outdoor Enjoyment 

One of the most compelling reasons to invest in a patio heater is to get more use out of your outdoor living spaces. Cool, quiet nights in the late fall, early winter, and early spring become much more comfortable with the warmth provided by a heater. With this portable device, you can enjoy a quiet evening under the stars or treat guests to a cozy patio party any time of the year.  

2. Portability

If you have several outdoor living spaces, such as a patio and a deck, you can easily move your heater as your needs and preferences change. With no need to be near an outlet, you can even place these devices far from the home for a backyard camping trip. While larger, free-standing heaters are a bit heavier than newer table-top models, they’re still easy to move, as many have wheels for extra convenience.

3. Affordability

Propane-powered outdoor heaters are affordable compared to other outdoor heating methods. They cost much less than the installation of an outdoor fireplace while still providing ample heat. The heating itself is also affordable, as one five-gallon tank of propane can provide several hours of warmth. 

4. Safety

Outdoor gas heaters have an innovative design with no open flame, significantly reducing safety hazards compared to older models and other heating devices. Aside from the emitter screen and top dome, they’re also cool to the touch, which minimizes the risk of injuries to pets and children, allowing your whole family to safely enjoy a peaceful evening out on the patio.
