Gas, electric and infrared patio heaters, fire features and radiant options that extend the outdoor season into the cold months.
A heater adds weeks or months to your outdoor season. Gas and electric heaters, infrared panels, fire tables and fireplaces all warm people instead of air, so even a breezy evening on the patio can be comfortable. Nashville owners add heaters to covered patios, pergolas and screened porches. Placement and clearances matter for comfort and safety.
Your designer studies the space, the roof and the walls and recommends heaters that match. Gas heaters need a line or a tank, electric infrared heaters need the right circuit and mounting and fire features need clearances. The crew installs mounting, power or gas and controls, and tests the heaters. The scope lists the clearances and the controls. Warmth depends on the spot. Heaters should be placed so they warm the seating area, not the ceiling, and we measure distances from heater to seat before mounting. In windy spots, a screen or a wall can keep warmth in place. Safe use is important, so we review the maker instructions, clearances and any local rules, and we show you how to turn the heater on and off. Timers and wall switches help prevent a heater being left on.
Infrared electric heaters suit covered patios, gas heaters suit open spaces and fire features add atmosphere.
Heaters need clearance from roofs, walls and furniture, and we follow the maker instructions.
Electric heaters need proper circuits and gas heaters need lines and shutoffs installed by qualified trades.
Wall switches, remotes and timers make heaters simple to use and prevent being left on.
