Do you have a smaller courtyard, patio or outdoor area that you would like to use more often, but feel that because of the cooler weather it’s not comfortable to entertain in?  A table top patio heater may be what you are looking for.  They are designed with smaller areas in mind and make it possible for you to get outdoors more often throughout the year as long as the weather is fine. If you are fortunate enough to have cover, then these units will allow you to enjoy the outdoors much more often and year round.

Table top heaters are smaller designed heaters that do as they say, sit on the table top.  They are generally around 30 – 40” in height and very light weight, for ease of movement.  They have many stylish models to choose which could make your decision a difficult one.  Many of them are styled to look like table lamps, adding ambience to your table setting.

You can choose from electric or popane heaters and there are many advantages to both.  Electric or halogen heaters are run on your regular electrical connection and are very inexpensive to run compared to propane patio heaters.  These units can also be operated indoors and outdoors, making them very versatile.  They usually have a number of heat settings, so you can set your level of heat depending on the weather.   Perhaps the only set back is that you are limited to use them only where an electrical outlets exists.

A propane heater on the other hand can be used anywhere, so you can take them camping or to the park, the beach or wherever you may need extra heating.

These fantastic versatile little units can raise the temperature in the immediate vicinity from 10 – 25 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the temperature setting you use.  Many of them come in stainless steel finishes.

Automatic shut off come as standard in many models, so you can be safe in the knowledge that if the unit is knocked over or even tilted, it will immediately shut down and no harm can be done.  This is especially comforting if you have younger children or pets.

No longer do you have to stay indoors in those cooler months anymore.  The heaters will generally heat an area of up to around 8 to 12 feet or approximately 3 to 4 metres, making them perfect for the smaller dinner party of group of friends.
