Rating of the best outdoor heaters in 2020

An outdoor heater is an indispensable device for outdoor gatherings in the warmest seasons. It is perfect for chilly summer evenings, and will also give you the opportunity to enjoy dinner and lunch outdoors in spring and autumn. Such products can be installed on a home porch or a terrace in a cafe. Heating devices provide comfort without harm to health and are easy to use.

How to choose an outdoor heater: the main characteristics of the device

Until these products have gained great popularity in our country, many buyers do not know the criteria for choosing such devices and their functionality. Which is the best to buy an outdoor heater in 2020, it is easy to decide by paying attention to the following parameters.

Power

This is the first thing to consider when purchasing an outdoor thermal product. The greater the power of the device, the more area around it it can warm. For example, a 12 kW model is capable of raising the air temperature within a radius of 7 meters.

The price of the heater also depends on the power. The more the device heats up, the higher its price. However, you should not purchase a product for a larger area so that it can be used in other territories. It is better to accurately calculate the required power for a particular veranda.

On average, 1 kW is capable of heating 4 square meters, therefore, when calculating, you just need to divide the area of ​​the terrace or other required space on the street by 4, thereby obtaining the required power.

If the area is very large, more than one heating device should be preferred. So the space will warm up more evenly than when using one powerful device.

Material

Most often, outdoor thermal products are produced in a stainless steel case, which is resistant to any weather conditions and retains its original appearance for a long time.

Some manufacturers build devices from specially coated simple metals. Such products are significantly inferior to steel appliances, since their body corrodes under constant exposure to moisture. When purchasing such models, you should buy special protective covers for them or place the heater only under a roof / shed.

Safety

Device safety is one of the most important criteria. Almost every such device has a built-in automatic shutdown system that cuts off the gas supply when there is no flame.

An important parameter is auto-off when the outdoor device tilts and falls. However, such a system is installed only on high quality and expensive models.In terms of safety, such devices are the most reliable.

Preference should be given to devices with a removable reflector, which protects the heater from adverse weather conditions. It is advisable to purchase products with the ability to strengthen the base (for example, with sand). This will enable the device to withstand strong wind gusts. The very wide base also gives stability to the heater.

Appearance

The market is now filled with a wide variety of outdoor heaters for every taste: point, hanging, mushroom or pyramid shaped. Each customer will be able to choose a device for all types of placement.

If space permits, you can put a floor unit in a stylish enclosure in your backyard. Thus, it will turn out not only to create warmth for cozy meetings in the open air, but also to decorate the site in an original way.

When every meter counts, wall thermal products will come in handy. Some manufacturers also produce unusual solutions - for embedding in a table or bench. Their disadvantages include a small range and a fairly high cost.

Mobile devices are becoming increasingly popular now. They have removable casters that allow you to move the device with ease. This will be beneficial for those who are going to use the heater in different places, move the product from zone to zone over a large area, or use it for a garage.

Used fuel type

All existing outdoor heaters are divided into 4 fuel categories:

1. Gas. Among them are the most powerful devices, so they are suitable for use on large areas. Most often, these products are used in industry and business. For gas models, butane or propane is used. When fuel is burned, heating is carried out by infrared rays. To prevent them from going up, the cylinder gas device is equipped with a special "cap" that reflects them down. Fuel consumption in such devices is more economical.
2. Electrical. These are the most convenient heater models. They simply charge, are odorless and do not emit hazardous substances. Electrical devices have the best efficiency and can be used at low temperatures. With high electricity tariffs, the device is only suitable for infrequent use.
3. Kerosene. Most Chinese and Russian heaters run on this fuel. Some manufacturers make these products multifunctional by combining them with cooking plates. Such devices are ideal for summer cottages or hiking in nature.
4. Solid fuel devices. They are usually available as heating ovens. Their device is quite simple, so these devices represent the budget segment. However, fuel for this type of outdoor thermal products is quite expensive, therefore it is not profitable for constant heating. In the long term, the purchase of such a heater is completely unprofitable.

The first and second options for heating devices are the most common. Here the choice depends on personal preferences and the availability of electricity in the place where you plan to use this device.

This rating of the best outdoor heaters in 2020 consists of popular models that are in greatest demand among buyers. With its help, you can easily choose inexpensive devices, find out which company is better to purchase the device and how much a specific model of a thermal product costs.
