Electric Patio Heaters, Made Clear

A covered balcony with four seats around a small table may suit a ceiling mounted heater aimed downward, provided the structure can carry it and the clearances are met. An uncovered deck may need a directional wall or pole mounted unit aimed toward the chairs, with extra attention to wind, rain and stability.

People should not be placed directly against the hottest part of the beam, and furniture should remain clear of the appliance and its cables.

Allow the unit to cool before cleaning, remove dust as instructed, and inspect the cord, cover and brackets for damage. Stop using it if those parts deteriorate, or if the operating conditions fall outside the manual’s guidance.
