Cold Feels Different Depending on Where You Live
A 45°F night in humid Georgia feels colder than the same temperature in dry Arizona, because humidity pulls heat from your body faster. That means the right patio heater setup for a humid southern climate isn't always the same as what works in the dry desert Southwest.
Humid Southern Climates
Infrared heaters perform well here because they heat objects and people directly rather than warming the surrounding air, which matters when humidity makes ambient air feel colder than the thermometer suggests. Bromic Tungsten infrared heaters are a strong fit — corrosion-resistant housings hold up well against the moisture that comes with humid coastal and southern climates.
Dry Desert Climates
In dry heat regions, temperature swings between day and night are often more extreme, so a heater with strong output and quick warm-up matters more than corrosion resistance. Freestanding gas heaters or higher-output infrared units cover large patio areas efficiently once the sun goes down.
Electric or Gas?
Electric infrared heaters, including the Bromic Tungsten line, are a good fit where you want consistent year-round use without refilling propane. Gas heaters make more sense for larger, open patios or areas without easy electrical access.
