What is a freestanding patio heater?
A freestanding patio heater is a flexible outdoor heating solution that can be moved around freely, letting you place it in a spot that requires the most warmth, such as near your patio seating area. These heaters work by supplying robust infrared warmth that is easily absorbed by people, surfaces and objects, rather than the surrounding air. This significantly reduces the chance of warmth being lost to winds and draughts – ideal for hard-to-heat spaces like your patio. By providing a deeper level of warmth that is also long-lasting, freestanding patio heaters excel in comfort and energy-efficiency, making them a true all-round. Better yet, you can simply attach the patio heater onto a compatible stand before plugging it into a nearby socket, for hassle-free installation.
Flexible heating made easy
Once attached to a compatible stand, all you have to do is plug the patio heater into a socket with a suitable IP rating and you can immediately start enjoying comfortable warmth in your outdoor space. Due to the flexibility provided by the stand, these heaters often allow for wall or ceiling mounting down the line, so you’re not just tied to your original choice. Whilst this must be carried out by a qualified electrician, the task is usually a quick and easy job for the pros. Either way, our patio heaters offer the versatility needed for convenient patio heating, letting you perfectly tailor your system to best match your preferences.
Please note: if you’re planning on installing multiple freestanding patio heaters, it’s always worth consulting an electrician first, just to ensure that you have a suitable supply that is safe to power the heating solutions.
