Why choose a patio heater?
A modern patio heater ensures you don't have to head inside as soon as the temperature drops. Thanks to the latest infrared technology, it is not the air that is heated, but people and objects that are directly warmed. As a result, you feel heat almost immediately and hardly any energy is lost.
Benefits of a good patio heater:
- Instant heat
- More energy-efficient than many people think
- Suitable for porches, patios, and balconies
- Hardly any maintenance
- Easy to install
- Long lifespan
- Sit outside comfortably right away

Which patio heating is right for you?
Not every situation calls for the same patio heater. That is why it is important to determine in advance where you will be using the heater.
Patio heater for a canopy
A canopy heater is by far the most popular choice. Because the heat stays under the roof, a very pleasant climate is created.
For a canopy, we usually recommend an electric infrared patio heater. This heats the seating area directly without heat loss.

Canopy heating
For a closed or semi-open porch, canopy heating is often much more efficient than a gas heater. The heat is retained better, and you do not need gas cylinders.
For larger porches, it may be wise to combine multiple heaters.
Balcony heating
A balcony heater is also ideal for an apartment. Electric models are quiet, compact, and do not produce an open flame.
A wall model or a hanging patio heater also takes up hardly any space.
