Gas Infrared Patio Heater
Gas Infrared Patio Heaters are an excellent way to add warmth to your home when you want to relax after a hard day of work. Many people install this type of heater with a gas source and need not worry about the safety of the gas when compared to electricity.
Gas Infrared Patio Heaters consist of two main components: the base heater which heats the ground area and the upper heating unit which act as the radiator. A heating mat has been put on the ground at the same level as the gas source. The heater has been placed on top of the heating mat. The cooler your ground is, the less the temperature of the ground.
A gas infrared heat pump is a device which is fitted under the base of the gas infrared. The pump moves the hot air that is cooled by the gas to the lower portion of the warmer.
Before installing the gas infrared patio heater make sure that the gas is not too close to the ground. Your foundation might be prone to leaks and other damages if it is too close to the ground. Do not install the gas heater near the flue. Instead make sure the gas is just below the point where it can cool the ground.
Take proper precautions for ensuring the safety of the gas when working around it. Always wear a dust mask and goggles when cleaning the area with a hand operated cleaner or a spray cleaner.
Before installing the gas infrared heat pump it is important to properly insulate the area surrounding the gas. A sheet of wood should be placed in the area between the gas and the ground. In cases where the gas is too close to the ground to take care to cover the area.
