Tabletop & Freestanding Heaters FAQs

• What are the benefits of a freestanding patio heater?

  The most obvious benefit of a freestanding patio heater is that it provides much needed warmth in cooler conditions. But why choose a patio heater over other outdoor heat sources?

  Freestanding patio heaters are portable and don’t take up much space, meaning that they can be moved around larger gardens depending on where you need them, and can easily be accommodated in smaller gardens or yards.

  A freestanding patio heater is also simple to run, either connected to gas or electricity, meaning you don’t need to worry about starting or maintaining a fire or managing smoke.

• Are freestanding patio heaters electric?

  Electric patio heaters are available at Primrose, but they’re not the only option. Gas patio heaters are a popular choice, and both offer their own benefits.

• Gas vs electric patio heaters

  While you may think that the only difference between gas and electric patio heaters is the power source, there are actually a few differences that can affect which heater will suit your needs.

• Electric patio heater benefits

  • Portable – providing you have a nearby power outlet
  • Easily heat an enclosed or partially enclosed space

• Gas patio heater advantages

  • No restrictions on where it’s installed as no power outlet is required
  • Quickly heat a large area or outdoor space
