Are You Cold Yet?

People in across the upper two-thirds of North America are dealing with the frigid cold brought on by the Polar Vortex.

A Polar Vortex is circulation of strong, upper-level winds that normally surround the northern pole in a counter clockwise direction. These winds normally keep the icy air up in the Artic region. However, on occasion, like right now, the vortex can be distorted and dip much farther south than you would normally see.

There are many theories as to the cause of the extreme cold ranging from climate change to a strong immobile jet stream. Whatever the cause, one thing is clear, in most of the country, it is COLD outside. If you are lucky like us to be in southern California then you are experiencing very temperate weather, sorry to our neighbors in the north, but it is a great day for golf outside here in Palm Desert.

If you are not so fortunate, don’t let the cold drive you inside. Take a look at our patio heaters, be it portable propane heaters, wall mount electric or gas heaters, we have just what you need to keep your outdoor living spaces warm.  We offer:

  • Calcana
  • SunPak
  • Infratech
  • Burney
  • Sun-Glo
  • Firesense &
  • Patio Comfort

While these heaters cannot compete with -20° temperatures, they can keep the majority of the country from having to hide indoors all winter. Contact us to find out what type of heater is right for you.
