Outdoor heating plays a key role in extending the usability of outdoor spaces during New Zealand’s colder seasons. With more homeowners wanting to entertain outside throughout the year, choosing the right heater can significantly improve comfort.

Gas heaters are a classic choice and may provide strong radiant heat that warms people directly rather than warming the air. Freestanding or wall-mounted options suit different layouts, and many homeowners enjoy the warm ambience they create.

Electric heaters, especially infrared models, offer targeted warmth with lower running noise. They are often chosen for covered outdoor rooms or spaces with louvre roofs. Infrared heating warms objects and people rather than air, making it efficient in breezy environments.

“Infrared heating works really well in outdoor rooms because the heat goes exactly where it’s needed, not into the wind.” — Janine, Weathermaster Auckland

Built-in heaters may be integrated into louvre beams or pergola structures for a seamless look. This creates a clean, architectural feel that blends into the design rather than standing out as a separate feature.

The right heater depends on the level of exposure, ceiling height, and how often the space is used. When chosen thoughtfully, outdoor heating can turn a chilly area into a comfortable living space all year long.
