Patio Heaters for All Occasions

Don't let the sun going down or an unexpected weather change negatively affect your outdoor dining and event. With a Sunglo outdoor heater you can comfortably and efficiently warm your outdoor dining and entertaining areas. Sunglo outdoor patio heaters are produced by Infrared Dynamics, one of the most recognized leaders in the outdoor comfort heating business. 

For over 30 years Sunglo products have developed quality and feature customers have come to expect. Sunglo heaters work utilizing radiant heat to warm people and objects without having to heat the surrounding air.

Sunglo's patio heaters are specially designed to stay lit even in a light breeze. Through the use of infrared heat, the air temperature does not need to build up before you feel the warmth of the emerging Sunglo patio heater. Infrared heat passes through the air heating people and all solid objects.
