Gas patio heaters are heating systems that use natural gas to heat your outdoor space. They are great options for homeowners or commercial spaces with a well-ventilated deck, patio, or backyard space.
There are a few different styles of gas patio heaters, each with different benefits depending on your space. These are:
In addition to the warmth they provide, gas patio heaters are a great option because of the number of benefits they offer.
We recommend coordinating the installation of gas heaters with trained professionals like plumbers, gas specialists, and HVAC technicians. They can handle the gas lines and determine the best location for the heaters by finding out the recommended clearance to combustibles.
Natural gas heaters require gas lines, so if you don’t have them, you’ll need to get them installed. If you already have existing gas lines, a professional can use them to install your gas heaters.
Wall and ceiling-mounted styles of natural gas patio heaters require an electrical supply, along with the gas supply, to work. Most can plug into a standard wall outlet, but you may need to have the proper wiring installed by a licensed professional. Portable, free standing heaters only require the gas supply to work.
There are different factors that will contribute to your gas patio heater installation costs. This includes the style and model of the heater you purchase, whether or not you have existing gas lines, and the type of professional that you hire to install gas lines and your heater.
When hiring a professional to install your gas heater, prices usually range anywhere between $400-$600 if you have an existing gas line to tap into. If you do not, the installation of gas lines will up your costs. Nationally, it can range anywhere from $120 to $1,350 to install a new gas line.

Gas heaters require well-ventilated areas and should be kept away from children and pets. If you’re limited on space, have young kids or pets, or own a restaurant, hanging or flush mounted heaters will be your best option, as they’re installed out of the way.
Other safety considerations include:
Low-level maintenance can be performed by the homeowner. Before performing any required maintenance, make sure your heaters are turned off and cooled.
If dealing with a gas line issue, it is important to reach out directly to the manufacturer or your local plumber, gas specialist, or HVAC technician.
