How does a heater work? A heater is ideal for cold summer evenings. A heater ensures that you can enjoy your terrace for a long time to come.

There are different types of heaters on the market with their own advantages and disadvantages. Some use more energy but produce more heat, others use less energy but produce less heat.

So you need to choose the right heater for your specific needs. In general, an electric heater is usually the best option because they are energy efficient, safe to use and reliable.

Types of patio heaters

There are two types of patio heaters: electric patio heaters and gas-powered patio heaters.

Gas patio heaters are considered traditional heating. The operation of this is very simple. Heaters are connected to the gas bottle with a regulator mechanism. Gas is pumped into the heater through an electric ignition. The air is then heated by the heat of burning gas.

An electric patio heater uses an infrared lamp. This lamp emits infrared radiation that immediately emits heat. The advantage of this is that no gas needs to be used and the system is safer.

How does infrared patio heating work?

Infrared heaters use infrared radiation. The effectiveness of an infrared heater depends on the type used. Infrared heating can be used in different ways:

First of all, infrared heating can be used on short wave. With short wave, the air is not heated, but focused radiant heat is used. The heat is transferred directly to the person and not only the air is heated.

Secondly, you have the medium wave radiation. Both the environment and the people are heated by the infrared rays.

Finally, there is long wave radiation. This only heats the environment, but not directly people.

Thirdly, you have the long wave. The long wave is the least powerful, because only the surrounding area is heated. This option is therefore very sensitive to wind and ensures that the heat does not travel far. This therefore requires more power to ensure that the room is heated.
