Shop Gas Heaters→How to Choose the Right Porch Heater
The right heater depends on your porch size, fuel access, and how you use the space. Here's what to know.
Measure Your Porch
Calculate the square footage of the area you want to heat. Electric heaters cover up to 160 sq ft per unit; gas heaters cover up to 215 sq ft. Larger or open porches may need multiple units.
Check Your Fuel Access
Electric heaters need a standard 240V outlet — no gas line required. Gas heaters connect to natural gas or propane. If you don't have a gas line, electric is the simpler install.
Consider Your Climate
For mild winters, electric infrared heaters are ideal. For colder climates or larger open porches, gas heaters deliver more BTUs and handle lower ambient temperatures more effectively.
Choose Your Mount
Bromic porch heaters mount to ceilings or walls, keeping your floor space clear. Ceiling mounts work best for covered porches; wall mounts suit screened or semi-enclosed spaces.
Types of Porch Heaters
All Bromic porch heaters use infrared radiant heat — warming people and surfaces directly rather than heating the air.

Common questions about porch heaters, answered by the experts at PHD Outdoor Comfort.
What is the best heater for a covered porch?
For most covered porches, a ceiling-mounted infrared electric heater is the best choice. The Bromic Tungsten Smart-Heat Electric mounts flush to the ceiling, delivers silent radiant heat, and requires only a 240V outlet. For larger covered porches or colder climates, a gas heater provides more BTU output.
How many porch heaters do I need?
One Bromic electric heater covers up to 160 sq ft; one gas heater covers up to 215 sq ft. Measure your porch and divide by the coverage area to estimate unit count. For open or partially enclosed porches, add 20–30% to account for heat loss.
Can porch heaters be used in the rain?
Bromic porch heaters are rated for outdoor use and are weather-resistant, but they should be installed under a covered porch or pergola — not exposed to direct rain. Always follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines for clearance and mounting.
What is the difference between gas and electric porch heaters?
Gas porch heaters produce more BTUs and are better for large or open spaces and colder climates. Electric porch heaters are easier to install (no gas line needed), run silently, and are ideal for covered porches with electrical access. Both use infrared radiant heat technology.
Do Bromic porch heaters work with smart home systems?
Yes. Bromic's Smart-Heat series is compatible with smart home controls, dimmers, and timers. You can integrate them with most home automation systems for scheduled heating and remote control.
