All About Pergola Heaters

Installing a patio heater under pergola is not an easy task. However, it is a need for many homeowners that want to have heating and cooling system under their patio roofing but do not have money for it.

So what type of patio heater should you get? There are two choices when you go shopping for a heater under your pergola. The first one is a propane patio heater that you use to heat your patio under the tent and the other one is an electric patio heater that you use to warm up water on your patio. Both will provide the same comfort.

A motor powered electric patio heater is very convenient and handy to have. One of the reasons is because it will save you time as you do not have to run outside to open the gas cylinder each time you want to use it. You just turn on the gas supply and start using it.

An electric patio heater will also help you save money because you do not have to run the gas and oil lines from the house all the time. This will also help you from having to deal with costly repairs on the utility lines. Although this will be a little bit costly, it will be worth it to have a comfortable heater under your pergola.

Electric patio heater can also provide us with the same warmth that propane patio heater provides us. Both of them can give you enough warmth during the cold winter nights. An electric heater can give you the warmness you need without having to use the gas.

Another advantage of electric patio heater is that you do not have to worry about additional costs like running or maintenance costs. They are cost effective and require little effort to use. For the electric heater, you can consider buying some small batteries that will run your heater for you during winter season.

Another popular type of heater under pergola is the propane heater. Like the electric heater, they are cost effective and will not need any extra amount of work to run. Propane patio heater also comes in small sizes that you can easily pack inside your car. You can easily turn it on and run your electrical heater for use on warm nights.

Just make sure that you know how to operate your heater. Because propane is cheaper than electricity, you have to be aware of its safety as well. A small spill can cause burns if you are not careful while handling the heater.
