Whether you're looking to enhance a commercial area, a community space, a residential backyard, or any other outdoor environment, there are countless options available when it comes to outdoor heating. In this post, we’ll explore how propane and natural gas heaters can help you enjoy the best of the season—both in terms of time of day and time of year—with maximum comfort and convenience.

Propane & Natural Gas Heaters: Two Great Ways to Make the Most of the Season

It's amazing how far technology has come, isn't it? Outdoor heaters have been around for over half a century, but today’s models are more efficient, powerful, and affordable than ever before. They’re also safe to use all year round, making them a great investment for any homeowner or business owner looking to extend their outdoor living space.

Patio Heater Basics

Our range of heaters includes various shapes and power sources, so there’s something suitable for every type of space and usage. The best option for you will depend on factors like the availability of natural gas in your area, the size and layout of the space you want to heat, and who will be using the unit most often.

Shape

As mentioned, there are tall mushroom-shaped heaters and box-shaped models. Mushroom heaters are ideal for central placement, as they provide even warmth across a wide area. Box heaters, on the other hand, are better suited for peripheral locations and should be directed toward the specific area you want to heat.

Power Source

We offer heaters powered by propane, natural gas, and electricity. All three fuel types are cost-effective, powerful, and widely available. While it’s rare, one fuel may not be accessible in certain areas—but generally, both propane and natural gas are easy to find. If natural gas isn’t available where you live, propane is usually a good alternative, and vice versa. However, in most cases, both are readily available. You might need to contact your local utility company if you plan to install a natural gas line.

Propane

Propane is a popular choice due to its power and availability. Residential and commercial propane heaters use onboard liquid propane tanks, making them portable and convenient. You can easily purchase or refill these tanks at local gas stations, retailers, or through a service provider.

The main benefit of propane is that it allows for portability, as the tank is built into the unit itself. This means you can move the heater around as needed to suit your heating needs. Additionally, propane heaters are easy to store in a dry, secure location, which makes maintenance and repairs more manageable.

Once you get used to changing the tank, operating a propane heater becomes straightforward. If you're installing a new tank for the first time, a technician can assist you. Propane heaters come in both box and mushroom shapes and can be mounted on fixed or mobile pedestals, or even installed overhead or on walls.

Natural Gas

Natural gas heaters require a direct connection to an underground gas line, which means they aren’t portable. However, once installed, they are very convenient to use—simply turn them on and enjoy instant heat. These units are also durable and long-lasting, making them a smart investment for permanent outdoor spaces.

Natural gas heaters come in mushroom and box shapes and can be mounted on poles, walls, or overhead. An overhead model is especially useful, as it heats a large area without taking up valuable floor space.

Because they are connected to a gas line, natural gas heaters must remain in a fixed position. If your gas line doesn’t reach the desired installation spot, you may need to have an additional line installed. That said, many people choose to combine a natural gas heater with a propane unit for added flexibility.
