Patio Heaters and Garden Heaters
Our collection of patio heaters offer both gas powered and electric solutions. Garden heaters help to maintain a comfortable temperature outside during colder days and on colder summer evenings. We have options suitable for both residential or commercial use with a range of designs to choose from.
Stylish Patio Heaters For Outdoor Comfort
At National Heater Shops, we have a wide range of outdoor patio heaters available. These patio heaters are designed to help maintain a comfortable temperature outdoors when temperatures drop. They are perfect for restaurants, beer gardens, outdoor events or gardens.
Patio heating is a versatile solution for cold outdoor conditions. With many different styles and a choice between gas and electric units available, we have units that can be used for a variety of different applications.
We have options available from reputable, reliable brands renowned for their sustainability and robust builds, such as SIP, Sealey and REMKO amongst others.
Electric and Gas Garden Heaters For Commercial and Residential Areas
Patio heating helps to maintain a comfortable temperature outside for longer, particularly during spring and summer evenings. They help to maximise time spent outdoors, for both customers or household residents alike.
Our selection of patio heaters are available as hanging fixtures, under-table units or free standing systems, to allow for greater variety.
Many of these units use infrared technology to heat the desired area. Infrared heaters use electromagnetic energy in order to heat an area, producing no fumes or exhaustion gases. These heaters provide both clean and efficient heat, by producing no waste and only delivering warmth to the desired area. The warmth produced is similar to the sun’s rays, and isn’t affected by wind - as it warms objects directly as opposed to the air surrounding them. You can calculate your radiant heating capacity by using our radiant calculator.
Our range of gas patio heaters use real flames to generate heat. Unlike infrared heating, these units do not use electricity and are powered by gas. They provide a pleasant heat, and many feature aesthetically pleasing casings, such as the Tahiti II Real Flame Pyramid Patio Heater - making them perfect for both commercial and residential use. Gas patio heaters are generally easier to relocate due to their lack of external wiring.

Patio Heater FAQs
Is there a difference between patio heaters and garden heaters?
Generally, no. Both terms are used interchangeably, however the term patio heater is used more commonly in commercial contexts.
Which patio heater is best for outdoor dining?
We often recommend gas patio heaters for outdoor dining due to their high heat output and wider coverage. However, this depends on the size of the area that requires heating and how many people are expected to be in the area.
Are electric patio heaters cheaper to run?
Electric heaters can be more cost-effective than their gas powered counterparts. Infrared models in particular are especially energy efficient.
Can I leave my patio heater outside?
Many models are weather resistant, but using a protective cover when out of season will help extend their lifespan.
Do patio heaters work in winter?
Yes, patio heaters are designed to provide warmth year-round, however their performance may vary depending on the type of weather and the exposure they have to the conditions.
