Our portable outdoor heater collection holds the Tungsten Portable and the Eclipse Portable, both from Bromic and both on wheels. A portable patio heater suits a deck with nothing to mount on or seats you want to move around. The gas one hides a propane tank in its base. The electric one brings warmth and a dimmable light over your table.


The two heaters on wheels

Compare the gas one on a tank, with no line and no wiring, and the electric pendant on wheels, which an electrician connects. Both belong on open or covered patios out of direct rain, never in enclosed rooms. Browse our whole patio heater range or every Bromic heater and controller we carry for other arrangements.

Gas or electric on wheels

For an outdoor standing heater on an open deck, the gas one warms up to about 215 square feet. Its base resists tipping, and a shutoff stops it if knocked over. The electric one has a weighted base and comes with a dimmer controller and remote for evenings around a table. You can find heaters plumbed to a line among our propane options and on our page for gas heaters connected to a line. Our electric options let you compare mounted warmth with an outdoor portable heater.

When a mounted heater suits better

A standing patio heater takes up floor space. With a wall or roof available, wall mounted heaters and heaters mounted overhead stay out of the way and cannot be knocked over. They come in more sizes, including electric options for enclosed patios.

Your questions

Is there a heater that doesn't need to be plugged in?

Yes, the Tungsten Portable burns propane from a standard tank hidden in its wheeled base. It does not need a gas line or an electrical connection, so you can move it around the deck. The Eclipse Portable is electric, and an electrician connects it.

What type of heater is best for outside?

For an open deck with nothing to mount on, choose the propane heater on wheels with the tank in its base. Under a roof, choose mounted electric or the wheeled pendant with light. For greater warmth across a big open patio, choose mounted gas on a line. These heaters warm people directly like sunshine.

Do permanent patio heaters make sense for my space?

A mounted heater uses a wall, roof or pergola beam, stays out of the way and cannot be knocked over. Our wall and ceiling pages offer more sizes. For rented spaces, changing layouts or nothing to mount on, choose a portable outdoor heater.
