Patio heaters for balconies: Gas patio heaters compared
Balcony and patio heaters allow you to spend time outdoors even in autumn and winter.
More and more customers are opting for infrared heaters instead of conventional gas-powered heaters.
Gas patio heaters require propane cylinders, which need to be replaced after a few hours. Therefore, gas-powered patio heaters are more expensive to operate. To heat for six hours, approximately €15 worth of gas is needed. Heating with infrared heaters is significantly cheaper than heating with gas.
Furthermore, the lack of efficiency of gas heaters is a reason to opt for an electric heater.
Gas-powered radiant heaters warm the air, and therefore a large portion of the heat is literally lost to the wind outdoors. In contrast, infrared radiant heaters are significantly more efficient.
So if you want a cozy atmosphere on cold days, electric radiant heaters are a very good choice.
In our online shop you can choose between a wide variety of models.
You can choose between radiant heaters for awnings , wall-mounted heaters, or ceiling-mounted heaters. It's even possible to attach radiant heaters to parasols .
Infrared heater for the balcony
Infrared heaters are perfect for use on balconies.
The pleasant warmth of these devices only unfolds when the infrared radiation hits a solid body.
An infrared heater operates energy-efficiently and is therefore an environmentally friendly alternative to other heating systems. The heat is perceived as particularly pleasant. The penetrating heat is similar to the light frequency of sunlight.
Another advantage of infrared heaters is the easy regulation of the heating power using a remote control.
You can easily regulate the heat and adjust the temperature from the comfort of your seat using the remote control. The multi-stage power control also makes infrared heaters the perfect alternative for indoor use, where they are increasingly being used as supplemental or even primary heating systems.
Since infrared heaters do not cause a draft, no dust is stirred up.
Balcony patio heaters are odorless and noiseless , which is particularly advantageous when used in small spaces such as balconies or terraces. Furthermore, these heaters impress with their light weight and easy installation.
Choose between bright and dark spotlights .
Dark radiators have a concealed heating element, so these models only provide heat and do not emit light. They are therefore more discreet and less obtrusive. Another advantage of dark radiators is that their surface does not heat up as much, eliminating the risk of serious burns.
Patio heaters - freestanding, ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted?
In our online shop we offer electric heating devices suitable for wall or ceiling mounting.
Alternatively, there are also freestanding radiant heaters available, which are easy to set up and therefore flexible in their use.
Stand heater
Electric patio heaters are most commonly used in the catering industry. These heaters are a maximum of two meters high and radiate heat evenly downwards. They can be set up in various locations and positioned as needed.
Ceiling-mounted radiant heaters Wall-mounted radiant heaters
Infrared heaters are mounted on the ceiling or wall. They offer a high degree of flexibility , as many models are adjustable and the radiation area can be repositioned as needed. The heat comes from above, which is perceived as particularly pleasant. These heaters allow you to heat specific areas with targeted warmth. Furthermore, it is possible to use multiple heaters simultaneously.
Ceiling-mounted and wall-mounted radiant heaters require less space than freestanding radiant heaters and are more visually appealing.
Is the use of balcony heaters permitted?
The use of radiant heaters on balconies and terraces is permitted.
Gas-powered patio heaters are too dangerous and, moreover, inefficient. Infrared heaters are therefore the better choice.
Unlike gas heaters, no environmentally and health-damaging emissions are produced, and there is a lower risk of fire if the heater tips over.
The energy efficiency is very high.
However, safety regulations must be observed during operation.
All infrared heaters for outdoor use that you can order online here meet the highest safety standards.
Please observe the instructions for safely installing the balcony heater. The heater must be properly attached using the supplied bracket so that even strong winds do not cause any problems.
Furthermore, the instructions regarding safety distances when heating must be observed.
Tenants should ask their landlord which wall is suitable for installing an infrared heater, as the landlord is familiar with the building materials used.
What safety instructions should be observed when using balcony patio heaters?
Freestanding radiant heaters should be equipped with a tip-over protection device to eliminate the risk of fire.
When choosing a balcony heater, also make sure that it has a suitable IP protection class and is therefore protected against the ingress of moisture.
This is essential when using it on the balcony or in the garden due to the weather conditions.
The IP X4 protection class offers protection against the ingress of splashing water.
If the infrared device is not installed under a roof in the garden or on the terrace, you should choose protection class IP X5, which guarantees reliable protection against water jets from all directions .
Furthermore, the safety distance to easily flammable objects must be maintained, which you can find in the operating instructions.
