Bromic patio heaters are ideally suited for use on a patio, they are effective in maintaining a comfortable temperature later into the evening after the heat of the day has subsided, they also can comfortably add a few weeks in the fall and again in the early spring when you can take full advantage of your patio. When buying patio heaters there are a few important things to take into consideration including the type of fuel, the area in which it is to be used and whether the installation will be fixed or will the heater be portable.
There are two classifications for Bromic patio heaters; those that work off electricity and those that use propane gas as the fuel. Propane heaters have the distinct advantage of warming the space quickly. Depending on the unit you decide on the gas bottle will be a distinct size, some units are suitable for a 20 gallon tank which allows for heating quite a large area for a considerable length of time.
Infrared electric patio heaters are designed for permanent installation from the ceiling or a wall. These units are extremely good at providing efficient directional heating with very little light emission for comfort in both residential and commercial installations. Electric units are designed with a reflector which gives very effective and efficient radiant heat distribution. Electric patio heaters are available in a range of wattage from 2000W to 6000W. All these heaters operate on 220V for fixed installation.
Most homeowners opt for Bromic patio heaters that use propane gas as these units are inherently portable. A homeowner must give some thought to where the heater will be located on the patio, often it is left in the middle of the area and the patio furniture is arranged around it, somewhat like a firepit or fireplace. If it is necessary to open the room up for entertaining it is reasonably easy to move the heater to a corner.
Before you buy have a good look at what is available. It is important of course that the heater you do buy can generate the amount of heat that you need for your patio space. When you are discussing various options the sales person will be able to assist as long as you know the area of the space.
You may want to avoid what is known as a “mushroom” heater as this design loses a great deal of heat upwards from the burner. As safety is always a concern with an exposed flame, ensure that the unit you buy is fitted with a devise to cut the gas supply when no flame is detected.
