Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the best electric outdoor patio heater for my space?
The best electric patio heater depends on your specific application and space requirements. For residential patios requiring sophisticated design, the Bromic Platinum Smart-Heat Electric offers ultra-slim aesthetics with smart control compatibility.
For commercial applications needing maximum coverage, the Solaira Alpha Series delivers up to 6,000W with advanced short-wave technology. The Infratech C-Series provides excellent performance for 7-11 foot ceiling heights, while the Aura CF Series offers versatile heating for both restaurant and residential use.
HeatingSolutionsUSA’s heating specialists conduct comprehensive assessments to recommend the optimal electric heating solution based on your space dimensions, mounting requirements, and performance needs.
2. How much electricity do electric patio heaters use?
Electric patio heater electricity consumption varies by model and usage patterns. A typical 1500W heater uses approximately 1.5 kWh per hour, while higher-output models like the Solaira Alpha Series (up to 6,000W) consume up to 6 kWh per hour. For reference, a 3,000W electric heater costs approximately 36-48 cents per hour to operate based on average residential electricity rates.
Electric heaters offer precise temperature control and instant on/off capability, allowing you to heat only when needed. Smart-enabled models like the Aura Décor Series with Bluetooth app control provide scheduling features that optimize energy usage and reduce operational costs.
3. What are the best ceiling mounted electric heaters for outdoor patios?
For ceiling-mounted installations, the Solaira RADIUS Electric Radiant Pendant Heater provides elegant pendant-style heating with versatile ceiling mount capability. The Infratech WD-Series offers powerful dual-element performance for 8-14 foot mounting heights, while the Bromic Platinum Smart-Heat Electric features an ultra-slim profile perfect for low-clearance installations.
The Solaira ICR Series is cCSAus approved for ceiling recess applications with a minimum 6″ clearance, making it ideal for flush-mounted installations. Our team provides detailed ceiling load assessments and clearance specifications to ensure proper installation and optimal performance.
4. Are electric infrared patio heaters effective in windy conditions?
Yes, electric infrared heaters are highly effective in windy conditions.
Short-wave infrared technology, like that used in the Solaira Alpha and XL Slim Series, heats people and objects directly rather than warming the air, making it unaffected by wind. The Bromic Tungsten Smart-Heat Electric features patented wind resistance technology, while Infratech heaters use directional radiant heating that maintains performance in challenging weather.
Unlike convection heating that can be dispersed by wind, infrared electric heaters deliver consistent warmth regardless of air movement. This makes them particularly suitable for exposed terraces, rooftops, and open patios where wind exposure is a concern.
