This is the time of the year when an outdoor patio heater for your garden comes in handy. The entertaining we do outdoors is much more populer than it was twenty years ago. We enjoy the warm evenings in the garden or on the patio and deck with our families. But the weather does not always cooperate for us. This would be a good time to start thinking about an outdoor patio heater; after all we still want to be comfortable during chilly weather.

The perfect solution would be to invest in an electric infrared outdoor heater. With infrared heat waves the objects in their path are heated directly instead of all the air that surrounds it. Some infrared outdoor patio heaters are capable of being installed permanently by mounting them on a wall. Some can also be mounted under the eaves of your home. Mounting them out of the way means we will not have to worry about storing them when we are not using them.

Some heaters are free standing, or stand alone, and others are a smaller portable version that can placed on a table. A good spot for an outdoor patio heater would a seating area in your flower garden, the dining area on your deck, or just for entertaining on your patio. If you have an outdoor living room, this wiill help keep our families and guests warm and cozy. Infrared heaters produce a radiant heat similar to that of the sun and there is no odor, open flame, or propane to worry about. This type of heat will not get blown away because it is not heating the air but people and objects only. They are a great idea for a windy area. They save on energy because as soon as the heater is on it begins heating instantly. The energy is directed by reflectors onto whatever is around it. The soaking up of the light energy will result in heating the target. Some outdoor patio heaters have temperature controls for added comfort.  

The electric outdoor patio heater manual you receive with your unit should inform you as to how to clean it. It will also let you know what areas of the unit you should not touch while the heater is on. Reading this manual ahead of time will help avoid injury and/or burns, accidents can happen when we become a little careless.  

Gas patio heaters may not need much attention, but electric heaters also have advantages. The heat from an electric outdoor patio heater is produced from a non-combustible source which not only saves space but most importantly energy. The electric patio heater is a safer option and it will not need a large area for placement.

For the warmth and comfort of your family and friends an outdoor patio heater for your garden is the perfect solution for those chilly fall and winter evenings. Just think with an outdoor patio heater, some tiki torches, and fire pit you can have a fun and relaxing time all year long.
