Heat Tape For Roof Ice Prevention
Outdoor living in Montana doesn’t have to be limited to the warmest summer days. With electric patio heaters, you can extend the outdoor season and enjoy warm, cozy gatherings on your porch or deck even after the chill of winter has arrived.
Unlike bulky propane space heaters, gas fire pits, or wood fires, electric patio heaters provide safer, more even heating. By using the infrared wavelength for heat, electric patio heaters are more efficient than propane, converting up to 98% of their energy input into heat, while minimizing heat loss during windy conditions.
Permanently installed hanging heaters are a good option for covered spaces that are protected from the elements. With electric heat you simply switch on the comfort when you need it. There are no propane tanks to refill, and no fumes or carbon monoxide to worry about.
When you choose Central Heating Cooling Plumbing Electrical for your outdoor heating project, you’re partnering with local experts that have over three decades of creating year-round outdoor comfort. Our installation process includes:
The Flathead Valley experiences unique weather patterns that portable heaters simply aren’t designed to handle. Professional outdoor heating systems are specifically engineered to perform in Montana’s harsh climate. When winds whip down from Glacier National Park or winter storms blow through Whitefish, DIY heaters struggle to maintain effective heating zones. Professional installations maintain performance even in challenging conditions.
Safety should always be your top priority when installing any heating system. Professionally installed outdoor heaters include proper clearances, weatherproof electrical connections, and mounting systems designed to withstand Montana’s snowfall and wind. DIY solutions often lack these safety features, creating potential hazards including:
Professional electric infrared heating systems convert up to 98% of their energy input into usable heat, compared to propane systems that typically operate at 75-85% efficiency and lose significant heat to wind. This difference can mean hundreds of dollars in savings over a single spring or fall season.
When properly sized and installed by our experienced technicians, your outdoor heating system will deliver maximum comfort with minimum energy consumption—something DIY installations rarely achieve.
Rather than simply placing a heater in your outdoor space, professional installation involves a comprehensive approach to outdoor heating. Our technicians analyze your specific outdoor area, considering:
