Do you feel frustrated when it’s too cold to sit outside and enjoy looking at your garden? It would be a shame if you have been avoiding hanging out on your patio because of inclement weather, since there is an easy solution that’s just a phone call away.
When you want to relax outside in your backyard in Arvada, but it’s just too chilly to stay outdoors, there’s no need to fret. The outdoor comfort experts at AKG Electrical will install patio heaters to keep you warm and cozy even when the temperature plunges during winter.
Imagine having dessert and coffee out in the backyard after dinner to cap off a perfect night of socializing with friends, no matter what season it is!
Using Heaters to Warm Up Your Patio
Freestanding, portable heaters don’t do a very good job of keeping groups of people warm outside. They’re convenient for being able to plug into a standard 110-volt outlet, but the amount of heat given off is usually insufficient for spending much time in the backyard, especially with multiple folks.
This is why we recommend installing permanent residential patio heaters, which we’ll hardwire to your home’s electrical system. Doing so will deliver sufficient power to keep you warm during a bone-chilling winter.
If you have a smart home system, we can integrate the patio heater with your control system, so you can activate the warmth outside with the same ease as programming your home’s air conditioner and furnace. With this type of control, you can specify more precise temperatures rather than just turning the heater on and off.
Patio Heater Options
There are two main types of residential patio heaters that use electricity: electric and infrared electric. It’s best to hire a professional, licensed electrician to install your patio heater, to ensure the work is done safely and follows electric codes.
- Electric:
An electric patio heater keeps you warm outside by warming the air and emitting a small amount of radiant heat. It takes a while to warm up the air between you and the heater. Electric heaters are less expensive than infrared heaters, which work faster and more efficiently. - Infrared Electric:
An infrared heater emits hot infrared waves, which you will feel instantly. They cost more, but you and your guests will get warmer, faster. You won’t be wasting energy (and money) heating the air around you. Homeowners looking for a more environmentally friendly option select infrared electric heaters.The professionals at AKG Electrical have the knowledge, training and experience to create a customized electric patio heater installation plan just for you.You’ll be glad to know that adding a patio heater will improve the value of your property, making it more enticing to buyers when it comes time for you to put it up for sale.
