Propane & Natural Gas Heaters: Two Great Ways to Make the Most of the Season

As we move into the early days of spring in 2022, many of us are still checking the weather forecast hoping for that perfect day. But with a quality outdoor heater from AEI, you don’t have to wait for ideal conditions—you can create your own comfortable environment right on your patio or deck.

Whether you're looking to enhance a commercial space, a residential area, or a community gathering spot, there are countless options when it comes to outdoor heaters. In this post, we’ll explore how propane and natural gas heaters can help you make the most of every moment—whether it's a warm afternoon or a chilly evening.

Propane & Natural Gas Heaters: Two Great Ways to Make the Most of the Season

Technology has come a long way, and modern patio heaters have been around for over half a century. Today, you can enjoy powerful, safe, and affordable heating solutions that work all year round, no matter the season.

Patio Heater Basics

Our range of heaters comes in various shapes and power sources, making it easy to find the right one for your space and needs. The best option for you will depend on factors like fuel availability, the size of the area you want to heat, and who will be using the unit.

Shape

There are two main styles: tall mushroom-shaped heaters and box-shaped models. Mushroom heaters are best placed in the center of an area to provide even warmth, while box heaters should be positioned on the edge and aimed directly at the space you want to heat.

Power Source

We offer heaters powered by propane, natural gas, and electricity. All three are reliable, efficient, and widely available. While some areas may have limited access to one type of fuel, most places have both options readily available. If you're unsure about your local supply, check with your utility provider for more details.

Propane

Propane is a popular choice because it’s powerful, accessible, and highly portable. These heaters use liquid propane stored in tanks that you can easily refill or replace. You can purchase propane from local gas stations, retailers, or directly from providers.

The portability of propane heaters allows you to move them around as needed, making them ideal for patios, decks, or even temporary setups. They’re also easy to store when not in use, which helps with maintenance and longevity.

Propane heaters come in different styles, including box and mushroom designs, and can be mounted on fixed or mobile bases, walls, or even overhead structures.

Natural Gas

Unlike propane, natural gas heaters require a permanent connection to a gas line. This means they aren't portable, but once installed, they’re convenient and reliable. Just turn them on and enjoy consistent heat without worrying about refilling tanks.

Natural gas heaters are often used in permanent outdoor spaces such as restaurants, patios, or backyards. They can be mounted on poles, walls, or even overhead, making them a great choice for large open areas.

If you don’t have a natural gas line in the location you want, you can always install one. Alternatively, you can pair a natural gas heater with a portable propane model for added flexibility.
