Outdoor Heaters

Outdoor Heaters for Australian Homes

Outdoor heaters can help extend the time you spend in patios and alfresco areas during cooler weather. Different heating technologies, mounting styles and heat outputs allow you to choose a solution suited to the size and configuration of your outdoor space.

Electric Outdoor Heaters

Electric outdoor heaters provide convenient heating for suitable patios, alfresco areas and entertaining spaces. Depending on the model, electric heaters may be wall or ceiling mounted to provide targeted warmth without occupying valuable floor space.

Gas Outdoor Heaters

Gas outdoor heaters provide another option for outdoor entertaining areas, with different configurations available depending on the product. Always check fuel requirements, ventilation, clearances and the manufacturer's instructions when selecting and positioning a gas heater.

Wall-Mounted Outdoor Heaters

Wall-mounted heaters can be particularly useful where available floor space is limited. Positioning the heater above the entertaining area can provide targeted heating while keeping patios and alfresco spaces clear for furniture and movement.

Freestanding Outdoor Heaters

Freestanding outdoor heaters offer greater flexibility when a permanent wall or ceiling installation isn't suitable. Depending on the model, they can be positioned within appropriate outdoor areas while maintaining the manufacturer's required clearances.

Choosing the Right Outdoor Heater

When comparing outdoor heaters, consider the size and openness of the area, available power or fuel supply, mounting location, heat output and how the space will be used.

Covered and enclosed outdoor spaces can have different ventilation and installation requirements from completely open areas, so always check the specifications and installation instructions for the individual heater.

Outdoor Heating for Alfresco Dining & Entertaining

Outdoor heating can be incorporated alongside Outdoor Furniture to create comfortable lounge and dining areas for cooler evenings.

If your entertaining area also includes outdoor cooking, explore our BBQ & Outdoor Cooking range for additional options when creating a complete alfresco space.

Outdoor Heaters vs Fire Pits

Outdoor heaters are designed primarily to provide targeted warmth, while Fire Pits can combine warmth with the visual atmosphere of a real flame. The right option depends on your outdoor space, preferred heating experience and installation requirements.

Planning a Comfortable Outdoor Space

Outdoor heating can also work alongside suitable Outdoor Shading to help create an entertaining area that can be enjoyed across changing weather conditions.

Always maintain the clearances specified by the heater manufacturer and ensure any electrical or gas installation work is completed in accordance with applicable requirements.
