For compact patios and more enclosed spots, electric wall-mounted heaters offer instant, efficient heat as the evening chill settles in. Complementing your decor instead of competing with it, our heaters are built to last and are a natural extension of your carefully designed garden or patio. From modern, design-focused pieces to classic models with ambient live flames, our patio heaters in the UK are as stylish as they are practical, adding warmth and a sophisticated glow to your garden.

What factors should you consider when choosing patio heaters?

Creating an atmosphere where you can comfortably relax, entertain and make the most of your outdoor living area for longer, the right patio heater can transform your outdoor space. 

Electric patio heaters

• Efficiency: Provide instant heat, making them highly efficient for smaller or enclosed areas.
• Cost: Typically more affordable to operate long-term, as they use electricity directly and there are no tanks to refill.
• Environmental impact: A more environmentally friendly choice for those looking to lower their carbon footprint due to zero emissions.

Gas patio heaters

• Efficiency: Excellent for heating larger spaces or more open areas thanks to their powerful heat output. 
• Cost: Higher initial costs for the unit and propane or butane refills, but they can be less expensive over time and are highly effective for outdoor heating.
• Environmental impact: Produce more carbon emissions than electric options, but the warmth and real flame create a unique outdoor ambience.

Design and aesthetic

• Choose a heater that complements your existing outdoor furniture and style.
• Sleek, modern designs can add a contemporary touch, while classic flame heaters create a timeless, rustic aesthetic.
• Consider portable designs if you want the flexibility to move the heater to different areas as needed.

Placement tips for optimal heat

• Place heaters centrally for even heat distribution during gatherings.
  Ensure there’s enough distance from flammable materials—safety first!
• Use multiple heaters to avoid any cold spots in larger areas.

How to use and maintain patio heaters

Making the most of your patio heater means keeping it in top condition and using it safely. With a few simple tips for operation, maintenance and storage, you’ll enjoy consistent warmth and reliable performance season after season.

Safety

• Set up your patio heater on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping.
• Maintain a safe distance between the heater and any flammable materials, including plants, outdoor furniture and decorations.
• Always follow instructions to prevent unnecessary accidents and extend the lifespan of your heater.

Regular maintenance

• Clean regularly: Wipe down your heater's exterior regularly to keep it in optimal condition and get rid of dust and debris, which can hinder the heater's efficiency.
• Check gas connections: For gas models, inspect the hose and connections regularly for leaks. A quick soap and water test can help you spot any escaping gas.
• Inspect parts: Keep an eye on wear and tear. Replace any damaged or worn components to ensure consistent and safe heating.

Storing your patio heater

• Cover it up: Protect your heater from the elements by using a weatherproof cover when it's not in use to prevent rust and keep it looking as good as new.
• Bring it indoors: Store your portable heater indoors during bad weather or the off-season to prevent rust and damage and prolong its lifespan.
• Disconnect fuel sources: Always disconnect the propane tank in gas heaters before storing to prevent leaks and ensure safety.
