Patio Heater Options
There are several options for providing outdoor heating at your Ebbw Vale home.
- Gas Heaters: Gas patio heaters will provide you with a comfortable level of heat but are incredibly inefficient and quite costly to run. They can also be inconvenient as you must deal with heavy gas bottles that will inevitably be nearing empty just when you need them! Producing high amounts of CO2, they are also less than environmentally friendly.
- Fire Pits/Wood Burning Heaters: A wood burning patio heater has an undeniable charm and creates a cosy atmosphere. The downside is the smoke and accompanying smell. They also need constant attention and a steady supply of fuel.
- Electric Patio Heaters: An electric patio heater is the most efficient form of outdoor heating. Quick to warm up, low maintenance and with a long lifetime, electric patio heaters are the sensible choice.
Why choose a hardwired patio heater?
Installing a hardwired patio heater makes sense for many reasons.
- Ease of use: Being hardwired, your patio heater will be a permanent fixture. There is no need to go digging in your shed to find it and then remember how to set it up every time you want an extra burst of warmth. It’s right there, exactly where you want it, when you need it.
- Safer to use: Installing a hardwired patio heater is the safest option for your Ebbw Vale home. An electric patio heater will be waterproof and able to withstand anything the Welsh weather can throw at it! As the patio heater is designed to be outside permanently, it will be hardwearing and have a long lifespan making it extremely cost effective in the long run.
- Long Term Solution: If you make regular use of your garden then you need a long-term solution to your patio heating needs. Installing a hardwired patio heater will give you just that. Designed to be left on for extended periods and with that previously mentioned long lifespan, a hardwired electric patio installation allows you to just enjoy your garden. All you need to do is decide which drink you want to relax with.
