Many models of patio heaters are able to be permanently installed on your property. Since they are built-in, permanent patio heaters commonly have a higher heat output capability. Connecting to a constant fuel source, such as a gas line or large residential tank, these outdoor heaters are a quite convenient, too. Sometimes, they can even be wired for ignition from the inside of your home or via remote control, so lighting them is as easy as flipping a light switch.
To choose a permanent natural gas patio heater, it is a good idea to know where you would like to use it. This usually dictates how it will be installed. This type of outdoor patio heater normally is available in two base options. One type is a fixed base model that connects to a deck or patio concrete. The other uses no mount, and is buried directly in the ground, similar to an outdoor lamp post. Both types use an underground natural gas supply, though they may offer a way to connect to a residential fuel tank.
A permanent patio heater is an excellent choice if you entertain quite frequently or need a lot of power. If you seek the convenience of a near-constant fuel source, they are perfect. Always follow all instruction in your owner manual, and use a reputable professional for installation, service and repairs.
