1. Choose the right patio heater for your situation

There are many types of patio heaters: electric, gas, hanging or standing.

• For use under a canopy or veranda, an electric veranda heater is ideal, such as the Eurom Golden 2000 Shadow patio heater .

• For an open terrace or garden, a gas patio heater such as the Eurom Flameheater is a popular choice.

• Do you have a small balcony? Then a compact hanging patio heater is perfect – for example, the Heatix Hanging Black 1500 Watt .

2. Direct the heat properly

Many people place their patio heater too high or aim it the wrong way. For optimal comfort, aim the heat at seat height, at a 45-degree angle. This allows for better heat utilization and reduces power consumption.
