Outdoor Heaters & Patio Heaters

When the weather turns cool does your backyard patio become empty? Let the warm radiant heat of an outdoor patio heater from Outdora bestow upon you many more days of additional outdoor living enjoyment. The warm red glow of radiant heat will warm people and objects (tables, chairs, etc.) but not the surrounding outdoor air that can easily be blown away. Outdoor heaters are easy to operate, inexpensive to use and simple to maintain.

Convection Heaters and Radiant Heaters Explained


There are two basic types of electric heaters: convection heaters and radiant heaters. Convection heaters heat the air by blowing air over a heated surface. One type of convection heater is a ceramic heater which has ceramic plates and aluminum baffles. When electricity passes through the ceramic, it is heated and the heat is then absorbed by the aluminum.  A fan then blows air over these heated surfaces to warm the room.
 
Radiant heaters are the second type of heaters. They use electromagnetic infrared radiation to heat nearby objects directly instead of the surrounding air.  Like the warmth of the Sun, radiant energy is the oldest form of heating.  It is totally pure radiation that is absorbed by objects and people without having actual physical contact with the heat source or by heating the surrounding air, as in the case with convective heat. Radiant heaters use glowing quartz or some type of metal element and reflector to provide heat to a specific area. Radiant heaters are better for warming outside areas where the air is free to move about.
