Patio Heaters

For more than 25 years, Patio Heating Direct has designed, specified, and sold outdoor heating systems for homeowners, architects, restaurants, and hospitality projects across the country. That experience shows in how we built this collection: every heater here is chosen for verified BTU or wattage output, honest coverage-area ratings, and hardware that holds up to real weather, not just a spec sheet.

Our lineup spans two heating technologies, and we carry both because each solves a different problem. Gas patio heaters — natural gas and propane — deliver high BTU output fast, making them the workhorse choice for large open patios, restaurant courtyards, and spaces where heat needs to travel. Electric infrared heaters, from 1500W to 6000W, warm people and surfaces directly rather than the air around them, which makes them the better fit for covered patios, tight clearances, and anywhere gas lines or ventilation aren't an option.

Browse by brand — Infratech, Bromic Heating, Solaira, Aura, and Sunglo — or use our specs below to match wattage, BTU, and mount style to your space. Have questions on sizing? Our team has been doing exactly this for a quarter century.
