The first step in determining how many and which heater to purchase is to measure your space. You need to decide if you are looking to heat the entire space or a just a specific seating area within that space. Bromic infrared gas patio heaters produce a warm blanket of infrared rays that will keep people and objects within its heat bloom warm, not the air. Once you have measured your space you need to confirm if you have proper ventilation and clearance to combustibles to install a Bromic gas patio heater. See our pre-installation checklist for some pointers.
A good rule of thumb to verify how many BTU’s you need for your patio is to take the cubic feet of an area multiplied by the desired rise in temperature to get the total BTUs needed to heat your space. Divide the BTU needed by the BTU output of the heater, and you get an idea of how many heaters you will need. Remember, wind can affect the heat output so if you live in an area that is susceptible to high wind, you may want extra units in the space in addition to considering the Platinum series heaters that have a higher wind rating than the Tungsten series heaters.
Tungsten Benefits
Keep in Mind: The decorative open honeycomb facia makes this patio heater more susceptible to wind gusts
Platinum Benefits
Keep in Mind: Although these have a higher wind rating due to the ceramic fascia, the BTU output is lower.
