In a fairly new but already crowded market, Endless Summer patio heaters are one of the brands that stand out. There are some clear advantages in making your purchase from a well established name, whatever you are buying, but there are some things to look out for in patio heaters.
Outdoor patio heaters look like oversized outdoor lamps - where the bulb should be there is a heating element and a large canopy. The heat therefore drops down on the user in an even way, sharing warmth amongst everyone gathered below.
The gas patio heater works by feeding gas from a pressurized bottle of liquid fuel to a burner located on the underside of the canopy. Liquid propane gas is used most often, and although it is a very safe fuel, safety needs to be a consideration in your purchase.
So when looking at patio heaters with an eye to making a purchase, ask the salesman (or search on the Internet) what safety features the unit offers. What happens if one of the big kids crashes into it while playing touch football? You will probably want a unit with a safety cut out.
With the bigger manufacturers you will get these safety features - for example you can get an Endless Summer patio heater with this. One more thing, while we are talking about safety - never use a patio heater indoors. They are designed to be used outside where the exhaust gases can float free, not for inside a house, garage or cabin!
