Outdoor patio heaters
Summer warmth at the touch of a button
Outdoor gas-fired and electric patio heaters are already standard to many applications, including restaurants, entertainment venues, and stadiums—this trend is continuing to grow. Many people prefer to sit outside even on cold days [so long as it’s comfortable], and having more comfortable seats is great for your bottom-line, too.
Specially designed for outdoor commercial and hospitality establishments: they’re safe, modern, and require little space. With reasonable investment and only low operating costs per day, the pay-off period is short, too. Our outdoor heaters are known for their quality and performance. Take a look at our limitless infrared heating options for your space.
