How much does a patio heater cost per hour? – All about consumption, wattage, and costs

If you enjoy spending time outdoors year-round, a patio heater is essential. But many people wonder: how much does a patio heater cost per hour? In this blog post, we clearly explain the difference between an electric patio heater and a gas-fired one , what their power consumption means, and how you can easily save money on your patio heating .

⚡ What does the wattage of a patio heater mean?

Each patio heater has a specific power rating , expressed in watts (W). This indicates how much energy the device consumes.
For example:

• A 1500 Watt electric patio heater consumes 1.5 kWh per hour.

• A 2500 Watt heater canopy consumes 2.5 kWh per hour.

If the electricity price is €0.35 per kWh, then:

• 1500 Watts = €0.53 per hour

• 2500 Watts = €0.88 per hour

👉 Conclusion: The higher the wattage, the more heat — but also slightly more consumption.
