Outdoor Heating

Radiant heaters are your best bet in the wind. Instead of trying to heat the air, which just blows away, they use infrared technology to warm objects and people directly. It’s the same kind of warmth you feel from the sun. This means you stay toasty even when it’s breezy. The Airo 2400W Outdoor Radiant Heater is a fantastic example of this, and it’s a popular choice with our customers, earning a solid 4-star rating from verified reviews.

For a covered patio or alfresco area, electric heaters are the safest and most convenient choice. Since they don’t produce open flames or fumes, they’re ideal for semi-enclosed spaces. You can go for wall-mounted models like the Airo 1800W Outdoor Radiant Heater to save floor space, or create a stylish centrepiece with a freestanding electric model like the Amantii The Cube Electric Fireplace. It gives you that cosy fireplace feel without any of the smoke or mess.

Radiant heaters are the champions of targeted warmth. Because they heat what they’re pointed at, you can direct the warmth exactly where you need it most-like over your outdoor dining table or lounge setting. This makes them incredibly efficient, as you’re not wasting energy heating the whole garden. Brands like Airo and Bromic specialise in powerful radiant heaters that excel at creating specific warm zones.

If you plan on using your outdoor heater often, an electric model is usually the most practical and cost-effective option. There’s no need to worry about refilling gas bottles or stocking up on firewood. You simply flick a switch or use a remote control for instant heat. The Airo radiant heaters are great for this, with simple remote-control operation that makes daily use a breeze.

Choose a ceiling or wall-mounted heater when you want a permanent, set-and-forget heating solution that doesn't take up any valuable floor space. They are perfect for covered alfresco areas, balconies, and restaurant patios where you need to keep the ground clear for foot traffic and furniture. They blend in seamlessly and provide excellent overhead warmth. Check out the Bromic Platinum Electric Ceiling Recess Kit for a super sleek, built-in look.

For smaller spaces or if you just need something you can easily move around, a portable bio-ethanol heater is an excellent compact choice. The Planika Jar Commerce Bio Ethanol Fire Heater is a perfect example. It's stylish, provides a beautiful real flame in a safe glass cylinder, and is completely portable with no need for any cords or connections. At just 41 cm wide, it can fit on a large table or tuck into a corner easily.

Yes, absolutely. Most outdoor heaters are perfectly safe for use on tiled surfaces. Wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted heaters won't have any contact with your tiles. For freestanding models like the Quan fire pits or the Planika Jar, the heat radiates upwards and outwards, so it won’t damage the tiles below. Just make sure the heater is placed on a stable, level part of your tiled area.

Electric radiant heaters are the fastest way to get warm. They start producing heat almost instantly, so there’s no waiting around for them to preheat. The moment you turn on an Airo Outdoor Radiant Heater, you’ll start to feel its gentle, sun-like warmth. This makes them perfect for those spontaneous evenings when you decide to head outside at the last minute.
