Electric heaters are great because they can be installed at lower mounting heights. Mount directly under canvas, wood awnings, eves and even interior locations safely. Since there are no open flames or carbon monoxide emissions, mounting clearance requirements are minimal. Short standoffs allow the fixtures to seamlessly blend in with any restaurant or patio decor. It is also important to note that many cities and municipalities have banned the use of propane or natural gas heaters, making electric patio heaters ideal.
