Patio heater FAQs
Are electric patio heaters expensive to run?
According to an article written by thisismoney.co.uk, it should cost you approximately £200 a year. The article says, "Let's take the 2000w - or 2kW - top level setting. This will cost roughly 31p an hour to run, based on the average UK tariff. If you have this on in an evening for three hours, this would mean nearly £1 of usage.
"Using your example of 12 hours a week, it would cost £3.72. Over the course of the year, this would equate to just shy of £200."
Can patio heaters be used in the rain?
Did you know that some patio heaters can get wet, and others can't? When you're looking to buy a patio heater, make sure you do your research. Not sure whether yours can be out in the rain? Then check the instruction manual when your heater arrives.
How many patio heaters do I need?
This depends on how big your garden is. For an average size garden, one patio heater should be enough to warm up a seating area.
Can a patio heater be used indoors?
We would not recommend using a patio heater indoors. If you buy a patio heater that uses gas, if used in a confined space like your house, garage or caravan, you could put yourself and others at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Are patio heaters safe to use?
Anything that uses heat or open flames will come with a risk. Make sure to keep this away from flammable materials such as rugs and a good distance from walls and ceilings. For more information visit patioheaterexpert.com.
