What should I do with my patio heater in winter?

A patio heater is a great way to keep your patio comfortable during the colder months. But what do you do with your patio heater when you’re not using it, for example during the winter? By properly maintaining and storing your patio heater, you can extend its lifespan and ensure that it continues to function smoothly. Here are some handy tips:

1. Clean your patio heater

Before storing your patio heater, it is important to clean it thoroughly:

• Electric patio heaters : Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely. Use a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Ensure all surfaces are thoroughly dry before storing.
• Gas models (if applicable): Turn off the gas supply and remove the gas cylinder. Clean the outside with a cloth and check for dirt in the burner openings.

2. Check for damage

Inspect your patio heater for any damage, such as loose parts, wear or rust. You can often repair minor damage yourself, but for larger problems it is wise to contact a specialist.

3. Use a protective cover

To protect your patio heater from dust, moisture and other weather influences, we recommend using a special protective cover. These covers are designed to keep your patio heater safe during periods of non-use.

Why a protective cover?

• Protects against dirt and dust.
• Prevents moisture problems such as rust or damage to electrical parts.
• Extended lifespan of your patio heater.

4. Choose a safe storage location

Place your patio heater in a dry and well-ventilated space, such as a shed, garage or storage room. Make sure the storage location is protected from extreme temperatures and moisture.

5. Check before next use

When you want to use the patio heater again, check that everything is still in good condition. Clean the device again, connect the electricity or gas supply, and test that it is working properly.

With these simple steps, your patio heater will stay in top condition, even during long periods of non-use. Don't forget to purchase a protective cover to optimally protect your investment!
