There’s a particular kind of joy that comes from sitting out in your garden on a crisp Irish evening, wrapped in a cosy blanket, glass in hand, and the gentle warmth of a patio heater making the experience perfect.

But here’s the catch—choosing the right patio heater in Ireland isn’t as simple as it seems. Is gas better than electric? Should you consider a pellet fire or fire pit instead? And most importantly, where can you get expert advice and top-quality heaters that last?

Let’s break it all down and find the perfect fit for your garden.

 

 

Electric vs Gas: Which Patio Heater is Right for You?

Before diving into the pros and cons, ask yourself a few practical questions:

• Where will you use the heater? (Patio, deck, garden, pergola?)
• How often do you use your outdoor space?
• Do you have an outdoor power socket?

• Is there someone available to refill the gas when needed?
