Practical Uses of Outdoor Heaters:

Propane heaters use a propane tank as a fuel source and can provide heat for several hours before needing to be refilled, so that you can use your heater without worry. A natural gas heater is a more permanent option, as it requires a gas line to be installed. These types of heaters are also more energy-efficient and cost-effective overall. Electric outdoor heaters are a convenient option for those who have access to an electrical outlet. They are easy to use and can be turned on and off with the flip of a switch. However, they may not provide as much heat as propane or natural gas heaters.

Considerations

The amount of space required for outdoor heating depends on the type of heater and its heating capacity. Outdoor patio heaters are designed to heat a specific area, and the square feet they can cover varies based on their size and power output. The heater you buy has to give off the right amount of heat so that you don’t get too cold or feel too hot when using it in your outdoor space. Some outdoor heaters come with an automatic ignition system that uses a timer or a thermostat to turn on the heater and ignite the fuel source automatically. Others use an electrical ignition or even manual ignition with the use of a match. These are factors to keep in mind when buying the right heater for you from Target.com.
