Outdoor infrared heaters are a fantastic way to extend your outdoor living experience. Whether you're hosting friends for a backyard barbecue, enjoying a quiet dinner on the patio, or simply soaking up the sun, these heaters provide efficient and safe warmth. At AEI, we offer a wide range of infrared heating solutions designed to fit any space, from residential patios to commercial venues.
### What Are Infrared Heaters?
Infrared heating technology has been around for years, but it's still relatively new compared to traditional heating methods. This can lead to some confusion about how they work and what makes them different. In short, infrared heaters produce heat through infrared radiation, which warms objects and people directly rather than heating the air. They can run on propane, natural gas, or electricity, each with its own benefits and installation considerations.
### Natural Gas Heaters
Natural gas patio heaters are a popular choice due to their convenience and continuous fuel supply. These heaters come in both mushroom and box shapes and can be mounted on poles, walls, or suspended overhead. Since they’re connected to a natural gas line, you never have to worry about refueling. However, because they’re permanently installed, they’re not as flexible as portable options. If you don’t have a gas line, you’ll need to work with a contractor to install one.
### Propane Heaters
Propane is a versatile and widely used fuel source for outdoor heating. Portable propane heaters are especially popular for their flexibility. The most common design is the mushroom shape, which provides even heat distribution in all directions. Box-shaped models are great for directing heat to specific areas. The key advantage of propane is that it’s fully portable—just bring the tank with you. But remember, you'll need to refill or replace the tank regularly.
### Electric Infrared Heaters
Electric infrared heaters are ideal for permanent installations where wiring is available. They come in box shapes and are available in various sizes and power outputs. One of the biggest benefits is the control options—many models support smart controls, allowing you to adjust settings via a mobile app. They can be mounted on walls or ceilings and offer a sleek, modern look. However, they must be professionally installed and cannot be moved once set up.
