Commercial Patio Heater

A lucrative investment to extend your patio season business

If you're like most restaurant, bar, or club owners, you might cringe at the first hints of autumn. It marks the beginning of the cold season and the end of your lucrative patio season.

But what if you could extend your patio business to year-round, or even just a few extra months? A commercial patio heater is the effective and most affordable solution to your problem. When you begin shopping for a commercial patio heater there are few things to remember: safety, style and efficiency.

Customer safety

Any owner will tell you that your customers' safety comes first. Luckily, there are a great number of quality commercial patio heaters that were designed with your customers' safety in mind.

Most commercial patio heaters are include safety features like a safety tilt switch, which automatically turns the unit off if it's accidentally tipped over, preventing damage or burning. Commercial patio heaters also feature a burner system with 100 percent safety shut-off, which allows you to immediately turn the unit off if need be.

A style for every setting

It's possible to find a stylish commercial patio heater that will lend itself beautifully to your establishment's decor. Commercial patio heaters are available in many different colors and finishes like stainless steel and copper, any of which are sure to enhance the look of your patio.

How well do they work?

Commercial patio heaters, by design, are usually extremely effective and efficient. Fueled by natural gas or propane, commercial patio heaters are constructed to warm people and objects near them, not the air.

A commercial patio heater's effectiveness can be influenced by wind, humidity, and other weather conditions. But most commercial patio heaters radiate warmth to a 20-foot radius. To distribution heat even more effectively, consider buying a commercial patio heater that uses more than one reflector.

Budget chat

While many hover around the $500 price range, it's quite easy to find a quality commercial patio heater for around $300. Cost usually depends on style and features. For example, the Endless Summer ES2300 Commercial Patio Heater, which has the safety tilt switch, multi-spark ignition and is finished in stainless steel, costs about $500. However, the Endless Summer 233010, a more basic model, is priced just over $300. With affordable prices like these, you could make the cost of the purchase back within a few weeks just by the added patio business you'll get by extending your season!
