Best Patio Heaters For Your Outdoor Seating

How Much Could Patio Heaters Help You Add to Your Bottom Line?

Casual restaurants able to extend the season an additional 15-days with the help of a minimal investment in patio heaters could pull-in an additional $45k in profits given just six 4-top tables and a $25/seat average ticket (10 table turnovers at 50% capacity). Extend the season farther, keeping warmth contained with additional privacy curtains, walls and screens, and further boost your return.

Types of Patio Heaters

Patio heaters come in a variety of styles and fuel types, which affect costs dramatically. Common styles include:

• Freestanding
  Big, powerful, heavy (but portable), with a refillable compartment for fuel.
• Mounted/Hanging
  Wall or ceiling-mounted and permanent. Typically electric and remote controlled. No footprint = ideal for a pergola patio cover
• Tabletop
  Easily movable, electric or propane models.
• Natural Gas Powered
  Lowest operating cost and ideal for those with access to a natural gas line. Permanent connection eliminates refilling (as with propane).
• Electric
  Zero emissions. Hard-wired or plug-and-go permanent installation with no refilling of fuel tanks. Moderate operational costs.
• Propane
  Portable and easy to use and install, but must be frequently refilled. Highest operational cost.

BT-Who?

Be sure to calculate BTUs before choosing a patio heater to ensure you’re not paying for more heater (and fuel) than you need.

Hold Your Horses – and Heater Installation

Before you do-it-yourself – take heed. Depending on where you live, there may be legal restrictions on who can install patio heaters, whether they be electric, gas, or propane-powered. For safety and liability, hiring a professional for installation is best.
