To begin you need to decide what kind of patio heater you want for your patio. There are a few options to choose from for patio heaters such as solar patio heaters, wall mounted heaters and mini-panes. The type of heater that you need depends on your personal tastes and preferences.
To begin with, if you like to lounge in your patio and have the air from outside moving on to your patio by day or night than the garden variety of patio heater will be perfect for you. A garden style heater can even hold the heat from a pool or pond for your use. A patio heater is usually found under the canopy of a trellis and mounted on a wall.
An additional attractive addition to your patio is a wall mounted heater. This type of heater can even be mounted under the trellis or on the side of a wall.
For example, an outdoor pool heater would be great to have under a patio in the garden style. A summer garden heater will provide you with cold wind breaks, refreshing heat and cool fresh air, when summer heat settles over the garden. In summer, the warmth can even keep you cool. This is because the hot air is carried up through the trellis and across to the patio.
You can also look into a solar heater for your patio. This type of heater is located right under the solar panels of your home. The wall mounted solar heater will be great for keeping cool air under your patio to keep you cool.
You can also get a mini-panes heater or a door mounted heaters. A mini-panes heater will be great for the carport, or in the attic or any space where you need heat from your porch. However, these heaters usually take up space that you need to install more heater. In addition, these heaters may not be found under the pergola.
If you are looking for a heater for your patio then you may want to choose the latter. In this case you will need to look into a wall mounted heater.
