You can enjoy the outdoors until late in the evening because you have a heater under the veranda or on your terrace! Or if you want to make your terrace more pleasant, purchasing such a heater is a good choice! It's logical that you wonder; What does a patio heater consume?
How much a patio heater consumes depends on the type of patio heater, the power, but also the space you heat! We will explain everything to you about the consumption of a patio heater.
How much electricity does an electric patio heater consume?
For electric heaters the power of the heater is important for calculating the costs, also the price of electricity. We will take an example to make the cost of the electric heater clearer. For the price of electricity we use €0.22 per kWh for convenience.
It obviously depends on the energy costs per kWh, but also the power that the patio heaters have.
How much does a gas patio heater consume?
If you consider what gas patio heaters cost, you must first take into account that you need three times as much energy for a gas heater as for an electric patio heater.
This heater will require more gas per year to heat a room comfortably. You must not forget to fill the gas bottle, otherwise you will not be able to use the heaters.
The contents of the gas bottle also has to do with how high you use the patio heater. Because if you have it fully open all the time, you automatically use more gas.
What is the most economical patio heater?
If you want to go for the patio heater that costs relatively the least to use, then it is best to go for the electric patio heaters. These use the least energy and have the lowest CO2 emissions!
The most effective electric patio heater is that with infrared technology. That's because these patio heaters heat nearby objects, instead of the air. The energy generated is used most effectively in this way.
How can you ensure that your patio heating becomes more economical?
If you ensure that your canopy or terrace is sheltered, this will ensure that the heaters require less power. Also think carefully about installing the patio heaters! If you do this on the facade, it ensures that the facade can retain heat for longer. The same applies to dark paving.
Solar panels! If you have the patio heaters and you have solar panels, this will save you even more costs to the energy supplier.
