Indoor Propane Heater

Heat on the Go with Affordable Portable Propane Heaters

Propane heaters are among the best selling outdoor heating solutions available today. Propane heaters can be found in a variety of outdoor venues like patios, decks or gardens and are also great choices for heating un-insulated spaces like garages and workshops.

Restaurants and bars rely on propane heaters to heat their outdoor seating areas and other open spaces where guests can mingle. Powered by small canisters of highly pressurized liquefied propane gas, the humble propane heater has found its way into homes and business around the country.

A huge reason for propane's popularity as a heating fuel is its affordability and availability

Not only is propane cheap, the heating units themselves are inexpensive. Many outdoor propane heaters can be bought for around a hundred Dollars or less, depending on size and heating capacity. Buying, installing and running a propane heater is always much cheaper than a similar electrical heater. Unlike electric heaters however, a propane heater cannot be simply plugged into the mains and forgotten about - propane heaters require a little more care. Once the propane gas canister or propane gas tanks runs out of fuel to power the heater you'll have to run down to the local gas station or hardware store for refills.

The use of canisters and tanks in propane heaters means that they do not have to be near an electrical outlet to work, making them highly portable source of heat. The units themselves are designed with wheels or handles for easy transport and the propane canisters are often either contained in the unit, or can be easily wheeled around with the help of a dolly. Portable propane heaters can be moved from one room to the next as needed, providing heat on the go. Propane heating units are light enough for a single person of less than average strength to lug around easily.

There are a large number of propane heaters available today, making it important that you choose a unit that matches your specific requirements. If you need a highly portable, outdoor heating solution for camping or going RVing, consider a small Dyna Glo heater specifically designed for the great outdoors. Patio propane heaters are tall units, and often employ mushroom shaped designs that redirect all the heat to the ground.

Wall heaters are the largest and most powerful, and normally run from a mains gas connection instead of self contained tanks or canisters. Wall mounted propane heaters are normally built with a fan unit to circulate heat around the house.
