How Propane Patio Heaters Work
Portable propane heaters are a must-have for outdoor venues in The United States, especially for those who live in colder climates. These useful devices are used to heat areas to help make them more comfortable. Propane patio heaters specifically work by burning compressed propane fuel and converting it into radiant heat. Propane is stored in a tank that is attached to the heater and needs to be refilled periodically.
Factors to Look for When Choosing a Propane Patio Heater
Propane patio heaters come in a number of options with different features. Therefore, it is essential for potential buyers to understand what features are ideal to look for in a patio heater and how they can help them.
Some crucial factors to consider with propane patio heaters for outdoor entertaining include:
- Safety features
- Energy efficiency
- Overall quality
- Convenience of use
- Aesthetics
- Mobility
- Additional features
Not all propane patio heaters are made the same. Although some models may only have minor differences, such as their color, others can have much greater differences, which are necessary to consider when choosing a heater for your outdoor entertaining needs.

Commercial Outdoor Patio Heater
Our commercial outdoor patio heater provides several benefits, specifically for commercial businesses that often offer outdoor entertaining, such as restaurants and cafes. This propane patio heater operates on a 20-pound propane tank, uses a cast-iron weight plate, has heavy-duty wheels, a stainless steel build, and an anti-tilt safety switch. This model is also available in its stainless steel finish as well as black and bronze. However, this heater has a sliding tank housing, so there is no door for quick access.
parasolSchwank
This parasolSchwank patio heater comes in two models. The stainless steel, portable unit with wheels operates on a 20-30 lbs propane tank. This larger tank, coupled with its large reflector and conical shape burner, allows it to heat more efficiently, which uses less fuel and provides heat for longer periods of time between refueling. It also features a safety tip switch.
Affordable, Freestanding Propane Patio Heaters with Adjustable Tables
The following freestanding propane heaters are remarkable for providing radiant heat for outdoor entertaining as well as an extra space for guests to place drinks and small plates of food. This is because each of these models includes a small, round adjustable table. With these propane heaters, it is convenient for guests to gather for warmth outdoors without having to hold onto cold beverages or small plates of food. In addition, these models include wheels, anti-tilt safety devices, and an access door for a 20 lbs propane tank.

Higher End Freestanding Propane Patio Heaters
The following freestanding propane patio heaters are on the higher end of the budget, so while they are some of the more expensive of all freestanding propane models that we sell, for the investment they perform beautifully. These heaters offer greater features and benefits, especially for outdoor entertaining. They include:
Patio Comfort PC02CAB Vintage Custom Heater
This Patio Comfort heater is incredibly heavy-duty and stylish, making it ideal for commercial settings, including outdoor entertainment venues. This model is made of cast aluminum and features an antique bronze finish. It uses highly efficient infrared heat to more directly warm people and spaces – as opposed to just heating the air itself. It is also self-contained, portable, and has a safety shut-off control.
Bromic Tungsten Smart-Heat Gas Portable
This unique yet stylish-looking heater from Bromic Heating is incredibly effective and efficient. The Bromic Tungsten Smart-Heat has a heat output coverage of up to 180 square feet with a heat field that is 12 feet wide and 15 feet deep.

This corrosion-resistant heater is available in black as well as stainless steel.
Affordable Wall and Ceiling Mounted Propane Patio Heaters
Wall and ceiling-mounted propane heaters are another exceptional option for outdoor entertaining, especially in consistently used and largely unchanging areas like restaurant patios. Wall and ceiling-mounted propane patio heaters can be installed throughout a space to provide radiant heat. However, unlike freestanding heaters, they are not easily moved around. However, wall and ceiling mounted heaters do not need to be taken down and put back up every day or for every event. They can stay in place throughout their extended lives. Some of our more affordable wall and ceiling mounted propane patio heaters include:
Bromic Tungsten Smart-Heat Gas Heater
This Tungsten Smart-Heat propane heater from Bromic is an incredibly attractive and efficient unit that can be mounted to a wall or ceiling in a space. It is available in two options: a 3 burner and a 5 burner. The 3 burner model is capable of warming a 160 square foot space, while the 5 burner is capable of warming a 215 square foot space. However, if you would like to upgrade from the 3 burner to 5 burner model, Bromic makes it easy with a universal bracket for both models. In either option, this propane patio heater is slim and stylish with a brushed stainless steel finish.
SunStar Glass
This radiant patio heater from SunStar is designed specifically for restaurants and other commercial purposes, such as outdoor entertaining. It offers efficient, radiant heat and is easy to install. This model is also outdoor rated, so it is more likely to hold up to outdoor elements like the weather. The SunStar Glass features a glass front to help it blend in with nearly any kind of decor. It can also be ordered with a number of beneficial add-ons, such as a thermostat, hanging hardware, and more.
SunPak Propane S-25 & S-34 Heater

Bromic Platinum Smart-Heat
Much like the Bromic Tungsten Smart-Heat, the Bromic Platinum Smart-Heat is available in two models with either 3 or 5 burners. The Platinum model features highly effective heating capabilities. It also produces heat that is wind-resistant in up to 11 mph winds, so heating can be even more effective in windy outdoor environments. Either model can be easily mounted to a wall or ceiling. Both are available in a brushed stainless steel finish.
bistroSchwank
High End, Premium Wall and Ceiling Mounted Propane Patio Heaters
SupremeSchwank
The Supreme Schwank is a premium propane patio heater. It is made with Marine-grade stainless steel and features low clearances, which helps it mount closer to a wall or ceiling and ultimately take up less space. This heater is available in single-stage and two-stage models. Both models are available in a black finish and can be ordered with multiple add-ons, such as a remote control and various mounting options.
Calcana Infrared Patio Heater PH40HO
This slim and narrow wall or ceiling-mounted propane patio heater from Calcana is a powerful and efficient heater, making it ideal for outdoor entertaining spaces. This heater is low maintenance and features an easy-light ignition system as well as a safely enclosed flame.

However, this Calcana Infrared propane patio heater is also available in a larger model, the PH75HO. This model has all of the same features and finish, but it is 10 feet long, which is double the length of the PH40HO. Also, check out the Calcana Infrared PH75HO.
S34-TSH SunPak Two-Stage Hardwired Patio Heater
The S34-TSH from SunPak is a high-quality two-stage heater that can easily improve outdoor entertaining spaces. It is capable of covering considerably larger areas. However, this means that it needs to be installed on higher ceilings. In a moderate climate, this heater is capable of raising temperatures by about 10 degrees. In its lower setting, it offers 25,000 BTUs of heat, and in its higher setting, it can achieve 34,000 BTUs. It is available in black or stainless steel.
Calcana Infrared Marine-Grade 316
Stainless steel is a popular material for producing quality propane patio heaters for outdoor entertaining or any other purpose where you need to heat the patio for family, friends, guests, employees and more. The popularity of stainless steel is primarily because of the durability and resistance to rust and corrosion that it possesses. However, this Calcana Infrared propane heater is made from marine-grade stainless steel, meaning that it is incredibly durable and resistant to corrosion. However, durability is not all this heater has to offer. It is also highly efficient, sleek and stylish, and low maintenance. It is available in both a 5-foot long and 10-foot long model. The 5-foot model is capable of producing up to 40,000 BTUs of heat, while the 10-foot model can produce up to 75,000 BTUs.
