Patio heaters are fueled by gas or electricity. Natural gas models, which require a permanent installation and a direct connection to your home’s natural gas line, are least expensive to run, but they’re also less portable.
Manufacturers typically list a patio heater’s power rating in British thermal units, or Btu. Calculate how many Btu you need to heat a specific area by multiplying the space’s square footage by its desired temperature increase.
