Outdoor patio heaters extend the months of outdoor comfort into cooler weather. True Value offers freestanding and tabletop patio heaters for any setup.
Weather Resistance & Durability
Heaters and heat lamps for patios are designed to be weather resistant for outside use year-round. Stainless steel is the longest-lasting finish, as it resists rust and corrosion.
BTU Rating and Heating Capacity
Patio heat lamps and heaters have BTU (British Thermal Unit) ratings which measure the amount of heat generated. A heater with a higher BTU rating produces more heat. Patio heaters at True Value range from 10,000 to 48,000 BTUs. Below are general guidelines on BTU ratings for patio size.
- Small patios: 10,000-15,000 BTU
- Medium patios: 20,000-35,000 BTU
- Large outdoor areas: 40,000+ BTU
Choosing the Right Patio Heater
Consider the following questions when shopping for a patio heater.
- Material – Is it made of high quality stainless steel that ensures resistance to harsh weather?
- Size/Type – Will a full-size floor unit be needed, or will a smaller tabletop model be suitable?
