- Adjustable heat range is another convenient feature. This allows you to better control the temperature on your residential patio heater.
- A multispark ignition also is another good feature to look for when you make your selection. This ensures a quick ignition and can improve fuel efficiency.

What Source Is Right For Me?
Residential patio heaters are commonly fueled by natural gas or propane. Deciding which is right for you depends on a couple of factors.
- Do you plan to mount your residential ceiling patio heater? If so, you might consider using natural gas. Often times you can use the same gas line that you use for your gas grill and appliances.
- Which will be easier for you? Keep in mind, most residential patio heaters that use propane run about 15 hours before it needs to be refilled.
- What fuel source is more affordable in your area?
Do your best to determine how often your residential standing patio heater will be used and decide which source is not only more convenient, but also affordable.
