Electric Patio Heater Hanging Options

Electric heaters emit no pollutants unlike patio heaters that make use of natural gas or propane. This makes them safe to use in a restricted area, such as an enclosed patio or gazebo.


The kind of heater you choose will depend on the dimensions and the climate of your outdoor space. It is also important to determine the method by which the heater will be installed.

Ceiling Mounting

There are many choices when it comes to outdoor patio heaters that are hung on the ceiling. They are built to withstand temperatures up to 2,000°F and feature stylish designs that resemble chandeliers or ceiling light fixtures. This allows them to blend into the style of the room. They can be powered by gas, by using existing propane or natural gas lines, or electric, which needs only an electrical outlet to run. Gas models typically heat an area faster than electric counterparts, however they require the constant supply of propane or natural gas to operate.

The heights of these units typically range between 8 and 9 feet above the floor. This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the room and keep the heaters out of reach of those who are below. The British thermal unit (Btu) is the measurement of the amount of heat they produce. Higher numbers produce more Btu.

In addition to being safe and practical, ceiling-mounted fixtures are typically easier to clean and maintain than those that hang from or extend from walls or other surfaces. They also don't have to be stowed away when they are not in use, which makes them ideal for areas with small storage space.

Another popular option is to place your heater into the ceiling. This gives the heater a contemporary minimalist appearance and keeps it out of view. It is less likely to be damaged or smashed. This is only a problem if you have only a small ceiling cavity.

The heater can be wall mounted in locations where hanging it from the ceiling is not feasible. modern electric patio heater can be mounted to the wall with brackets and are suitable for areas with ceilings that are vaulted or with angled walls.

Flush-Mounting

If you're building an entirely new patio or retrofitting an existing one there are a variety of options to incorporate outdoor heating into your landscape. While we would recommend pole-mounted patio heaters for open spaces and areas with ample floor space, there are also wall-mounted options that cut down on installation time and costs without compromising the heat output.

Flush mounting is another option that integrates the heater into the ceiling. This kind of installation is great for patios with enclosed areas or low ceilings, and can give an uncluttered and minimalist design. A flush mount frame is simple to set up and comes in many finishes that will match any style of interior design.

Think about how much heat you will require and where it should be located in the room when choosing the right patio heater. The most powerful models are best for large outdoor and indoor areas since they produce the most heat. A smaller patio heater is suitable for smaller spaces or a more centralized area.

Electric patio heaters are known for their ability to generate huge amounts of heat using an ultra-efficient fuel source. While natural gas or propane heaters rely on fossil fuel electric patio heaters produce heat using an infrared process that instantly warms people and objects without warming the air around it. This type of heating is more sustainable and safer than traditional gas patio heating.

Recessed options are offered for those who prefer a contemporary minimalist style. Recessing patio heaters into the ceiling provides a seamless and sleek appearance that will instantly blend in with your surroundings. A recessed heater can also lower the ceiling's height, which is an advantage in tighter spaces.

The only drawback of a recessed patio heater is that it requires a certain amount of space for the cavity within the ceiling, which can vary by model. However, most models are specifically designed to meet this requirement and come with an adjustable recess kit that allows for an individual fit.

A patio heater that is recessed can be used in tight spaces without release of pollutants into the air. This is due to the fact that it does not require venting. This is a major distinction between natural gas and propane heaters that aren't recommended for use in enclosed spaces. They can release carbon dioxide into the air.

Wall Mounting

Wall mounting is a great solution for spaces that have vaulted or slanted ceilings. With wall brackets that are available for all Bromic heating options, recess-mounted installations can be anchored to the structure with the required support to ensure safe operation.

Ideal for a variety of outdoor settings, electric patio heaters can be set against the wall to prevent any obstruction and provide optimal heat distribution. This is an ideal option for those who have a small space and need to make use of the floor or table space. With a range of power levels and remote control options These patio heaters are simple to operate with the push of a button and can be set at the height you prefer.

While the placement of your patio heater is ultimately your choice, there are guidelines that you should follow in order to get the most of it. For example, it's important to avoid putting your heater too high since the heat radiation could cause burns. In addition, if you mount two or more patio heaters too close to each other, they won't able to provide an even distribution of heat.

The size of your space and the amount of heat you require will also determine the location of your electric heater. For larger areas, a floor-standing model with a higher British Thermal Units (BTU) rating is a great option to efficiently and evenly warm your space. For a more compact and portable alternative, a tabletop or pendant electric heater could be more suitable.

You should also consider the way you'll charge your electric heater. Some are powered by electricity whereas others use natural gas or propane. If you're choosing an electric model the power cord is provided with your purchase while propane and gas models will require a continuous connection to a liquid or natural gas supply. In both cases, you must make sure that your heater for your patio is equipped with a soft starter that will limit the peak current. This will stop your fusebox from blowing.

Installation Options

Many factors must be considered when choosing an overhead or wall-mounted patio heater. These include heating coverage, access to electricity or natural gas constraints and aesthetic preferences. Bromic's wide range of heaters is customizable to fit any space and achieve the desired appearance.

For example ceiling-mounted units attach to the joists of a covered outdoor roof and provide warmth directly above the floor without losing floor space. These heaters also protect against wind, which could blow out patio heaters. Electric models make use of short wave infrared technology to effectively heat people and objects instead of the air, making them more than 90 % energy-efficient. They can also be dimmed to alter the amount of light and warmth.

The BTU rating of the patio heater is a crucial factor when choosing the size to suit your space. Higher ratings can warm larger areas faster than lower ones. For the most efficient heating, pick an appliance with an output rating that is equal to or greater than the area of your space.

A popular alternative to mounting overhead is recessing a heater into the ceiling of a patio that is already in place or a new building. This can create a stylish and minimalist design that is a perfect match for the architecture around it and doesn't block views. A recessed patio heater could be a great option for restaurants and hotels.

Some of the most popular kinds of outdoor heaters are propane, gas and electric models. Natural gas heaters require professional installation and are connected to a long-lasting gas line, however they are cheaper than other kinds of heaters because they do not need to be refilled. Propane patio heaters warm up quicker than other heaters and are portable, but they require a separate propane tank.

The main distinction between these three kinds of heaters for patios is that propane and gas heaters need to be connected to an electric or gas line, while electric models plug into standard outlets. Decide which type of patio heater is best for you. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages.
