Shoulder season in Canada is perfect for patios — until the temperature drops after dinner. These heaters extend outdoor time safely.

Electric tower / infrared heaters

Plug-in options for balconies and covered decks where propane isn’t allowed. Check your circuit (often 1500W).

Why buy: No tank swaps; condo-friendly where rules allow electric only.

Classic mushroom-style or pyramid heaters for backyards. Always follow clearance and wind guidelines.

Why buy: Stronger heat output for open decks on cold evenings.

Smaller footprint for two-to-four person tables — good for renters and small balconies.

Why buy: Heat where people sit without a towering unit.

Weather covers and spare regulators keep gear ready for next season.

Why buy: Protects the investment through Canadian rain and snow.

Read condo/building rules before buying propane. Prefer CSA-listed units on Amazon.ca.

Many condos ban open-flame propane. Electric infrared is often the safer choice — check your building bylaws first.

Keep clearance from walls and fabric, never use indoors or in enclosed tents, and shut off the tank when finished.
