As the colder climates are approaching us, it's time to bring out the ol reliable heater to shelter us from the cold. If you want to host an outdoor party/function, a simple indoor heater won’t cut it. With the variety of outdoor heaters available, you can host an outdoor event in winter, while still keeping all your guests toasty and comfortable. There are many varieties and variations to choose from. Here’s a short list to help you decide the best solution for you. Fuel Types Available Wood Wood fires create a great atmosphere with its presentation, sound and smell, but require a lot more maintenance than other fuel types. You need to add more wood to keep the fire burning, and clean out the ashes once extinguished. Depending on your area wood may be readily available or more scarce. It is also easier to make a fire pit or campfire from scratch if you want a more rustic feel that metal heaters can’t provide. Natural Gas Natural Gas Outdoor Heaters run from your gas line, and should be installed professionally. As such, the upfront costs may be a little high, but natural gas runs the cheapest and are very easy to maintain long term. These heaters are not recommended to be used in enclosed spaces and since they require installation, can be difficult to move. Decide on an ideal location before committing. Propane Setting up a propane tank is fairly easy and can be moved around easily within your patio or location with no installation. The initial setup is also very easy and straightforward. When thinking long term, propane isn’t the cheapest option and the gas tank needs to be replaced now and again, depending on how frequently it's used. Electric Electric outdoor heaters are convenient and easy to use, just plug and play (wall mounted will require some installation). They are also the safest heater method for indoor use but work just as great outdoors. However with convenience, comes costs. Electric heaters can take some time to heat up fully, they are also restricted to being next to a power outlet and will cost the most with regular use. Varieties of Patio Heaters Patio heaters come in all shapes and sizes. They can be standing on the floor or be mounted to a wall. Some can be installed while others work great as portable patio heaters. Here’s some great standing patio heaters, perfect for a restaurant scene or your next outdoor event. Fire Fountain Gas Heater The Fire Fountain Gas Heater is a very popular standing heater. It runs off gas so it can be moved around if needed. This heater showcases a stunning “fire fountain” in its centre while also providing great heat to the area. At only 2m high they can also fit in low ceiling areas, compact for many spaces. They are available in 11 different colours to fit many aesthetics. Firestick Outdoor Patio Heater The Firestick Outdoor Patio Heater is one of the most popular outdoor grounded heaters right now. Designed & manufactured for the hospitality industry, this heater provides plenty of warmth with a pleasant design. This heater would do exceptionally well on a patio, or multiple for an event setting. They come in three colours and are powered with either gas or natural gas with installation. A range of accessories are also available for storage, appearance or heat effectiveness. There are many types of outdoor heaters available for a range of venues and needs.

Outdoor parties are a wonderful way for everyone to get together to celebrate or just enjoy each other's company. During the day it's a warm, and great atmosphere that most are comfortable in, although once it starts getting late, that cool chill kicks in and encourages everyone to head indoors, out of the cold. If you want the party to keep on going, consider investing in a patio heater to keep all your guests toasty and comfortable.
For an outdoor restaurant, one of the necessities is to ensure your customers dine in comfort. During scorching days, places with indoor air-conditioning are often favoured, but you can take it one step further with outdoor misting systems, which allows your customers to enjoy the refreshing open-air atmosphere while staying nice and cool. Commercial misters aim to release mists of water around the dining area, usually through the patio. This constant spray of mist helps to refresh and keep customers cool during the heat. They are specially designed for the restaurant experience and won’t produce enough water to wet customers. These restaurant misting systems are also significantly cheaper to run than a traditional air conditioning unit, as they use less energy to run and use minimal water to produce mist. The appeal of dining outdoors in the fresh open air over inside is the main focus and misting systems greatly help show the appeal. If your location features outdoor plants, your misting system could also double as a watering system! Keeping the plants hydrated and your guests cool, killing two birds with one stone. For those who are a little more DIY-savvy, you can look into buying mist cooling kits which let you plan, customise and install your own misting systems. One advantage of going DIY is that you will save money on hiring electricians and plumbers for installation costs, however you better know what you’re doing, as no one would want leaks and other water damages to occur. If you take the DIY route, one thing you should do is purchase a high quality water pump for your system. High water pressure is needed to make the mist so you can’t skimp on the quality of your water pump. You must also consider whether a misting system is appropriate for your needs. If your location tends to have high humidity levels (constantly over 75%), and/or it just typically doesn’t get very hot, then misting systems will likely not be very effective. If anything, it would worsen the weather conditions, drenching your customers and your furniture. But if you often experience hot, dry weather, then definitely consider an outdoor misting system for your business. If you’re exploring the market for restaurant misting systems, consider mistmate misting systems from Climate Australia. As the hot season comes around once again, we reach for our trusty cooling specialists. Whether it be an oscillating fan, the powerful air conditioner or today’s topic the reliable indoor air cooler, we know they can get the job done. However, if they aren’t performing like they did straight from the factory belt and perhaps the reason you’re here, try out some of our tips on getting your air cooler up to scratch to combat the ever increasing heat. Make sure it's clean! With anything, you must maintain your air cooler is up to scratch and cleaned out to ensure it can reach its maximum potential. Remove any dust that's visible from the fans and vents of your machine as this can block airflow and reduce air quality. Make sure to do the same with the cooling pads as they will be responsible for water evaporation, and the cleaner they are, the better they can perform. Position accordingly Air coolers aim to take in hot air, absorb it into the cooling pads which then evaporates into cool air that is dispersed into the room by the fans. To get the best effect from your air cooler, try to position your portable commercial evaporative cooler near a window where it can take in all the outside hot air and push cold air back into your own. Use ice to help speed up the cooling process This more traditional method suggests placing ice in a bowl and in front of the fans that are pushing out the evaporated air. As such, the cool air coming on the ice will also be pushed out, helping cool the room faster. Of course, most air coolers also have built in ice trays which also do this. If yours however doesn’t, this method works with not just an air cooler, but any fan you have. Improve its hardware (If you’re into DIY) If you’re DIY savvy, try upgrading the water pump in your indoor or industrial air cooler. An improved water pump will help water flow through faster and would surely be better than a used one which would likely have debris and other junk blocking it from being used to its full potential. Adjust your house to maintain a cooler temperate Insulated walls and ceilings can greatly help with helping maintain a cooler room temperature. Using shades or thick blinds on windows also help to keep internal temperatures low when possible. When possible, use LED lights as they generate less heat. Even better if you can survive with them off. You can also use insulation strips around windows and doors to help keep cool air in and hot air out.
