Electric Patio Heater Hanging Options
Contrary to propane or natural gas patio heaters, electric heaters do not emit any pollution. This makes them safe to use in a confined space, like a gazebo or covered patio.
The type of heater you pick will depend on the dimensions of your outdoor space and your climate. You'll need to decide on how the heater is mounted.
Ceiling Mounting
There are a myriad of choices when it comes to outdoor patio heaters that are hung on the ceiling. They typically be able to withstand temperatures up to 2,000 degrees and many come with stylish designs that look like chandeliers or ceiling lights which is why they blend nicely with the overall style of the space. Gas models are powered by existing propane or natural gas lines. Electric models require only an electrical outlet to function. Gas models typically heat up an area faster than electric counterparts, however they require a constant supply of natural gas or propane to function.
The recommended height for installation of these units is usually between 8 and 9 feet off the floor. This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the room and keeps the heaters from those who are below. The British thermal unit (Btu) is the measurement of how much heat they generate. Higher numbers produce more Btu.
Ceiling-mounted fixtures are, in addition to being safer and more convenient, are usually easier to clean and maintain as opposed to fixtures which are suspended from walls or other surfaces. They don't need to be stored away when they are not being used, which is ideal for areas that have little storage space.
Another option is to put your heater into the ceiling. This gives the heater a contemporary minimalist appearance and keeps it out of view. It is less likely to be damaged or knocked over. This is only a disadvantage when you have only a small ceiling cavity.
Wall mounting is an alternative to hanging the heater from the ceiling, and is ideal for areas where a suspended installation isn't possible. These models can be fixed to a wall via brackets, and are suitable for areas with ceilings that are vaulted or angled. Gas and electric models are available, and come in a variety designs and sizes that complement your patio or gazebo. Our heating experts can look at plans and photos of your space to help determine the best size for the space and best options for mounting to ensure optimal heating.
Flush-Mounting
If you're planning to build a new patio or retrofitting an existing one there are a variety of options to incorporate outdoor heating into your landscape. We recommend pole-mounted heaters for large, open areas or areas with lots of floor space. However wall-mounted heaters are also efficient and can be set up in a shorter amount of time.
Flush mounting is another option that integrates the heater into the ceiling. This style of installation is ideal for patios with low ceilings or enclosed patios. It can give an elegant and sleek appearance. A flush mount frame is easily installed and is available with a variety of finishes that can be matched to any style of interior design.
Take into consideration how much heat you will require and where it should be placed when you are choosing a patio heater. The larger models are suitable for large indoor or outdoor areas, and will generate the most amount of heat. Smaller patio heaters are suitable for smaller areas or central locations.
One of the main advantages of electric patio heater s is their ability to generate a substantial amount of heat from a highly efficient source. Electric patio heaters, in contrast to propane or natural gas heaters, generate heat via an infrared process. They directly warm objects and people, without heating the air. This kind of heat is safer, more economical and more eco-friendly than traditional gas patio heaters.
Recessed options are available for those who prefer a modern minimalist style. Patio heaters that are built into the ceiling will blend seamlessly into your surroundings. A recessed heater may also reduce the ceiling's height which is a benefit for smaller areas.
The only downside to a patio heater that is recessed is that it requires a minimum of cavity space within the ceiling, and this may differ based on the model. Most models are designed to take advantage of this and include an adjustable recess kit.
Another benefit of a recessible patio heater is that it is safe to use in small spaces because it doesn't require a vent and doesn't release harmful pollutants into the air. This is a major distinction between natural gas and propane heaters that aren't recommended to be used in enclosed spaces. They can release carbon dioxide into the air.
Wall Mounting
Wall mounting is the perfect option for spaces with slanted or vaulted ceilings. Bromic offers wall brackets to support all heating solutions.
Electric patio heaters are ideal for a variety of outdoor spaces. They can be placed against a wall in order to avoid obstructions and to ensure the best heat dispersion. This option is ideal for those with an area that is small and require to save space for tables or floors. With a range of power levels and remote control features These patio heaters are simple to operate by pressing of a button. They can also be set at the desired height.
There are some guidelines you should follow to get the most from your patio heater. It is important not to hang your patio heater too high because the heat can cause burns. In addition, if you mount two or more patio heaters too close together, they won't be capable of providing an even distribution of heat.
You can also choose the location you will place your electric heater based on the dimensions of your space and how much heat you need. For larger areas, a floor-standing model with more British Thermal Units (BTU) rating is a great option to quickly and efficiently warm your space. For a smaller and portable option, a tabletop or pendant electric heater might be more appropriate.
Another thing to consider is the way you'll power your electric heater. Some heaters are powered by electricity, while others rely on natural gas and propane. Electric models come with a power cable while natural gas and propane models require a permanent connection to the gas supply. In both cases, you must make sure that your heater for your patio is equipped with a soft start to reduce the amount of peak current. This will prevent your fusebox from blowing.
Installation Options
Many factors must be considered when choosing an overhead or wall-mounted patio heater. The heating coverage, access to electricity or natural gas and aesthetic preferences. Bromic's extensive range of heaters can be customized to fit any space and give the desired appearance.
For instance ceiling-mounted units are attached to the joists of an outdoor area's roof and provide heat directly above, without sacrificing floor space. These heaters also guard against wind, which could blow out patio heaters. Electric-powered models utilize short wave infrared technology to effectively heat people and objects instead of air, which makes them more than 90 % energy efficient. They can also be dimmed to adjust the intensity of light and warmth.
When selecting the ideal size patio heater for your space, you should consider its BTU rating. Higher ratings can heat larger areas more quickly than smaller ones. Choose a product that has an output rating equal or greater than the area of your space.
Recessed heaters are a popular alternative to overhead mounting. They can be put in the ceiling of a patio or in a new construction. This can create a stylish and minimalist look that complements the architecture around it and doesn't block views. A heated patio that is recessed is a great choice for restaurants and hotels.
Some of the most popular types of patio heaters are gas, propane and electric models. Natural gas heaters cost more to run than other models because they require a professional installation. They also need to be connected to a continuous line. Propane patio heaters are more portable and can heat up faster than other types. However, they require a separate propane tank.
The main difference between these three types of patio heaters is that gas and propane heaters require an ongoing electricity or gas line, while electric models plug into standard outlets. Each kind of patio heater has its own advantages and advantages, so choose the one best suited to your particular space.
