Outdoor Patio Heaters
Extend evenings outside with modern outdoor patio heaters for dining, lounging and entertaining. Choose from electric tabletop, floor-standing and wall-mounted designs from 1200W to 2500W, or wood pellet heaters for patios, larger seating areas and pergolas.
Make More of Your Outdoor Space After Dark
An outdoor patio heater can make dining, lounging and entertaining more comfortable as temperatures fall.
Choose around where the heat is needed, the size of the space and whether you want a portable heater or a more fixed installation.
Tabletop, Floor-Standing or Wall-Mounted?
A tabletop patio heater provides compact warmth close to a seating or dining area without taking up additional floor space.
A floor-standing heater works well beside sofas, dining sets and larger lounge areas, with the heat source positioned higher within the space.
A wall-mounted heater keeps the patio floor clear and can suit more permanent outdoor layouts, including selected pergola installations.
Electric or Wood Pellet?
An electric patio heater offers convenient, switch-on warmth where a suitable power supply is available. Infrared designs warm people and nearby surfaces directly, making them well suited to outdoor seating areas.
A wood pellet heater creates radiant warmth alongside a visible flame, giving the heater more presence within a larger patio or garden lounge.
Choose according to the type of heat, atmosphere and operation that best suit the space.
Choose the Right Heat Output
NUMA electric patio heaters range from 1200W to 2500W, giving you options for smaller seating areas and more generous outdoor spaces.
Higher wattage isn’t automatically better. Consider the size and openness of the area, where the heater will sit and how close it will be to the people using it.
Heating for Dining and Lounge Areas
Position outdoor heating around the furniture rather than treating it as a separate feature.
For dining areas, aim for warmth across the occupied seats without restricting chairs or walking routes. Around sofas and corner seating, a floor-standing or tabletop heater can create a more comfortable setting for evening drinks and conversation.
Where space is tighter, a wall-mounted option can provide warmth without adding another piece of furniture to the patio.
Patio Heating for Pergolas
Selected heaters can be used with suitable pergolas and covered outdoor spaces.
Wall-mounted designs are particularly useful where keeping the floor clear matters, but always check the installation, clearance and ventilation guidance for both the heater and pergola before use.
Choose the Features You’ll Use
Selected electric heaters include features such as adjustable heat settings, remote controls, integrated lighting, Bluetooth audio or Wi-Fi control.
Choose the heater format and output first, then consider which additional features will genuinely make the space easier to use.
Patio Heater or Fire Pit Table?
Choose a patio heater when you want a dedicated source of warmth positioned beside or above the furniture.
A Gas Fire Pit Table combines warmth and flame with a central tabletop, making it more of a focal point within the seating arrangement.
The right option depends on whether you want discreet heating or a fire feature at the centre of the space.
