The kind of heater you choose will depend on the size and climate of your outdoor space. You'll need to choose the way to mount the heater.
Ceiling Mounting
When it is about outdoor ceiling-mounted patio heaters, you have many options to choose from.

This lets them blend into the design of the room. Gas models can be powered by natural gas or propane lines. Electric models require only an electrical outlet to function. Gas models heat an area quicker than electric models, however they require a continuous supply of natural gas or propane.
The heights of these units are generally between 8 to 9 feet above the floor. This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the room, and also keep the heaters away from people who are below. The amount of heat they generate is measured in British thermal units (Btu) with higher numbers generating more Btu.
Ceiling-mounted fixtures, in addition to being more secure and convenient, are usually more easy to clean and maintain as opposed to fixtures that hang or protrude off walls or other surfaces. They don't require to be stored away when they are not being used. This is perfect for smaller spaces.

One of the main advantages of electric patio heater s is their ability to generate a substantial amount of heat from a highly efficient source. While propane or natural gas heaters rely on fossil fuel electric patio heaters generate heat through an infrared process that directly warms people and objects without warming the air around it. This kind of heat is more environmentally friendly and safer than traditional gas patio heating.
Recessed options are available to those who prefer a modern minimalist style. Patio heaters that are recessed into the ceiling will blend seamlessly with the surroundings. A recessed heater will also lower the height of the ceiling which is a benefit for smaller spaces.
The only drawback of a recess-based patio heating system is that it may require a little space in the ceiling. It can differ from model to model. However, the majority of models are specifically designed to meet this requirement and have an adjustable recess kit to allow for a custom design.
A recessed patio heater can also be used in tight spaces without release of pollutants into the air. This is due to the fact that it does not require vents. This is an important difference from natural gas and propane heaters, which aren't suitable for use in a closed area and could release carbon monoxide into the air.
Wall Mounting

There are some guidelines you must follow to get the most from your patio heater. It is important not to hang your patio heater too high because the heat can cause burns. If you mount two patio heaters or more too close together, the heat will not be evenly distributed.
The size of your room and the amount of heat you require will also affect the location of your electric heater. For larger areas, a floor-standing model with a higher British Thermal Units (BTU) rating is a great choice to quickly and evenly warm your space. A tabletop or pendant heater is an excellent option for a compact and portable solution.
It is also important to consider the way you'll power your electric heater. Some are powered by electricity while others use propane or natural gas. Electric models are equipped with a power cable, while natural gas and propane models require a constant connection to the gas supply. In both cases, ensure your patio heater has a soft starter to limit the peak current and stop your fuse box from blowing.

They can also be dimmed to alter the amount of light and warmth.
When choosing the right size patio heater for your area, you must consider its BTU rating. Higher ratings can heat larger areas faster than lower ones. For the most efficient heating, pick a model with an output rating at or above the area of your space.
