1How much heat output do I actually need for my patio?
Heat output is measured in BTU — aim for 40,000 BTU for small patios (under 100 sq ft) and 80,000+ BTU for larger spaces. A simple rule: multiply your patio square footage by 50 to get the minimum BTU needed, then add 20% if you're in a breezy area.
2What's the difference between standing heaters and tabletop models?
Standing heaters cover larger areas and work better in open spaces since the heat radiates downward from above, while tabletop models are compact and ideal for small gatherings or tight corners. Standing heaters typically deliver more consistent warmth but need more clearance from furniture and people.
3How long will a gas cylinder last with regular use?
A standard cylinder typically lasts 8-15 hours depending on the heater's BTU output and heat setting — higher BTU models drain fuel faster. Running at medium heat rather than maximum will roughly double your cylinder lifespan.
4What safety features should I look for?
Check for an automatic shutoff if the heater tips over, a flame failure device that cuts gas if the flame goes out, and a sturdy base that won't tip in wind. Good models also have a thermostat control so you're not running at full blast constantly.
5Is it worth paying more for a stainless steel heater instead of powder-coated?
If your patio gets direct salt spray (near the coast) or constant sun exposure, stainless steel is worth the investment — it resists rust far better. For most inland UAE locations, a quality powder-coated steel heater will last years if kept under cover during harsh weather.
