ᐅ Looking for an Outdoor Heating Solution for a Terrace

As mentioned, an electrical solution is not feasible for technical reasons; neither the wiring nor the protection of the external connections is adequately sized.

Thanks to mycraft for the pictures. I have also researched online and read that the perceived heating efficiency of devices with a visible flame is generally not very good and they are more for aesthetics.

It would be helpful if someone with a good patio heater could share their experience. Private messages are welcome to avoid unwanted discussions about the environmental aspects.

Best regards & thanks,

They do produce a good amount of heat. However, due to the missing reflector on top, they subjectively feel "not as warm."

I have an Enders 2.0; it looks good and provides heat at eye level.

These gas patio heaters are not desired and are already banned for commercial use in the hospitality sector. They emit as much CO2 as a small car—just to keep warm while sitting outside. You may not want to have this discussion, but perhaps others will consider what it means to use heating power on a terrace that would easily cover the whole house. There are better alternatives available.

They require 1500 watts and can be plugged into a standard outlet. They generate more heat than gas.

Thanks to Bortel for the specific recommendation.

A single unit with 1.5 kW power would not be sufficient for us, so the electric solution is simply not an option.

By the way, I find it quite surprising that the main criticism comes from two people, one of whom uses every imaginable argument to condemn heat pumps, while the other burns wood in a masonry heater to heat the house (this is not a criticism of fireplaces—in fact, I like fireplaces and would have liked to have one myself, but unfortunately it was not possible due to space constraints).

Wishing everyone a pleasant evening and hoping that future discussions will be less contentious.

Best regards,
Dennis
