The number of patio heaters you need depends on the size of your space, the type of heater, and environmental factors. First, calculate the area by multiplying the length and width. For electric heaters, with a coverage of 10-12 m², you may need two. In windy spaces, additional heaters might be necessary, while covered or sheltered terraces experience less heat loss. Ensure heaters are placed at a height between 2 and 3 meters, for optimal heat distribution.
How to Calculate the Amount of Heaters Needed
To calculate the number of heaters required, start by determining the area of your space in square meters. Multiply the length by the width. For example, a terrace measuring 6 meters by 4 meters equals 24 m². Next, compare this area to the coverage range of the heaters you plan to use.
If a heater has a range of 10-12 m², like the Platinum Smart-Heat™ Electric, divide the total area (24 m²) by the heater’s maximum coverage (12 m²). This calculation shows you would need at least two heaters to cover the space effectively. For a larger-capacity heater, such as the Tungsten Smart-Heat™ Gas with a range of 20-25 m², dividing 24 m² by 25 m² reveals that one heater would suffice.
Adjust the number of heaters based on environmental factors such as wind, which can reduce the coverage area, or the presence of obstacles, which might require additional heaters for consistent warmth. Always align your calculations with the manufacturer’s specifications for optimal results.
The Capacity of the Heaters
By examining the capacity of a heater, you can be sure the system can heat the space you have in mind. That is the only way to ensure effective heating. A small heater may not be able to sufficiently warm up a large space. But the contrary is true as well. If you buy a heater that is too big, it may consume more energy than you need. You can create a cosy atmosphere if you buy a heater with a fitting size.
Each Bromic patio heater is designed to provide a specific heat output, measured in kilowatts (kW). For example, a heater with a capacity of 6kW can comfortably heat an area of approximately 20 square meters, depending on environmental factors. It’s important to choose a heater with the right capacity for your space to avoid underheating or wasting energy. In the chart below, we compare different types of heaters:
| Heater Model | Heat Output (kW) | Coverage (m²) | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bromic Platinum Smart-Heat™ Electric | 4 | 10 | Low-glare infrared heating, sleek design, compact size |
| Bromic Tungsten Smart-Heat™ Electric | 6 | 15 | Efficient heating for larger areas, durable construction |
| Bromic Platinum Smart-Heat™ Gas | 10 | 20 | Powerful heating for outdoor spaces, wind-resistant |
| Bromic Tungsten Smart-Heat™ Gas | 13 | 25 | High heat output for expansive areas, robust build |
Environmental Factors to Consider
It is necessary to think about environmental factors, to ensure efficient performance. The outdoor climate is an important factor if you want to determine which type of heater is suitable for your commercial or personal circumstances. What is the average temperature? What are the conditions of the wind in the area? You will have to take the size of the area into account as well.
For instance, you may need multiple heaters if you have a large-sized area. Proper ventilation is very important too, especially if you choose for gas heaters. Too much wind, however, and they cannot function properly. Many factors determine your choice.
Environmental factors, such as wind, ambient temperature, and the openness of the space, significantly impact the performance of patio heaters. For instance, in windy conditions, the effective heating range may be reduced. Bromic heaters, like the Tungsten and Platinum series, are designed to perform well even in challenging conditions, making them an excellent choice for exposed outdoor areas.
Optimal Placement for Good Heat Distribution
Choosing the right spot for your patio heater is essential. Ensure the heater is easily accessible for adjustments and placed on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping. Maintain proper clearance: at least 50 centimeters to 1 meter from ceilings or walls for mounted heaters, and a safe distance of 1 meter from flammable materials for freestanding models.
Good ventilation is important, especially for gas-powered heaters, to prevent harmful gas buildup. Open or semi-open spaces are ideal, but ensure adequate airflow in covered areas. These heaters are designed with built-in safety features like tip-over protection and automatic shutoff. Our experts can help you select the best model and placement for your specific needs. Always consult the user manual for detailed safety guidelines.
