A Built In Patio Heater Can Be Your Best Friend

A built in patio heater is a wonderful option for anyone who lives in a cold climate, or is simply looking for a way to save money. This unit can be installed in the ground, on the deck, in the backyard, or anywhere else where you want a heated area.

You will get a standard sized unit, or you can choose a larger one that will heat your entire yard and patio area. The price range depends on what type of unit you choose. There are some simple choices you need to make.

The basic model does not include the heating element. You will have to purchase it separately. If you do not already have one, then this may be the only model that will work for you. It can be installed using studs or by bolting it into the ground with nails or screws.

The electric power is included but it will need to be connected to the main power source. The electric power for the unit will have to be purchased from the local electric company. These units usually use 120 volt electrical power. The smaller models may only require 220 volt electrical power.

One nice feature about the standard size models is that you can have a certain amount of insulation between the wall and the wood that lines the floor of the unit. If you decide to have the insulated floor, then you will need to either replace the existing insulation, or purchase insulation kits.

As with any appliance, the more features that you have, the more it will cost. With the added features you will get the wood to burn longer and more evenly. It will also keep the air coming out of the unit cooler than you would have imagined. This is important in a cold climate.

External installation is preferred because it is much more permanent. A lot of people choose this type of installation, because they prefer the look of it. To have the fireplace and fire is very attractive. You will love how it looks in your yard.
