Patio Heaters for Richmond homes

Built on the Fraser delta at close to sea level, Richmond is the mildest city we serve. Ocean influence keeps both extremes in check, but it comes with wind and salt air. Extensive high-rise and townhome development through City Centre and Brighouse, 1970s–90s single-family homes across Broadmoor and Terra Nova, and heritage and newer homes in Steveston.

In this climate, outdoor heating is what turns a patio from a three-month space into a nine-month one.

Our process

How we help you choose

  1. See it running

    Our Surrey showroom has working units on display. A spec sheet tells you far less than standing in front of one.

  2. Matched to your space

    We size and specify against your actual room, venting and layout rather than a catalogue default.

  3. Supplied and installed

    One team for the product, the gas fitting or electrical, the permit and the install.

  4. Serviced afterwards

    We maintain what we sell, so you are not hunting for someone who will touch it in five years.

Local knowledge

What we watch for in Richmond

Built on the Fraser delta at close to sea level, Richmond is the mildest city we serve. Ocean influence keeps both extremes in check, but it comes with wind and salt air.

  • Richmond sits at or near sea level with a very high water table. Crawlspaces flood more readily here than anywhere else we work, so furnace and ductwork placement has to account for it.
  • Steveston and western Richmond get direct salt exposure off the Strait — coastal-rated outdoor equipment is not an upsell here, it's what makes the warranty hold.
  • City Centre's tower density means most work is strata-governed, with restrictions on exterior penetrations and balcony equipment that shape what's actually installable.

The City of Richmond issues mechanical and building permits, and gas fitting is regulated by Technical Safety BC. We manage permitting and strata documentation.

Brands we install and service

  • Gas fireplaces, inserts and outdoor fireplaces.
  • Linear outdoor fireplaces and collections.
  • Low-profile electric patio heaters.
  • Gas patio heaters, permanent and portable.

FAQ

Patio Heaters in Richmond — common questions

Gas or electric patio heaters?

Electric infrared units are low-profile and easy to mount under a covered area. Gas units put out more heat and suit larger or more open spaces.

Can they be permanently installed?

Yes — that's most of what we do. Permanent mounting with a dedicated gas line or circuit is far more satisfactory than a portable bottle heater.

Do you actually serve Richmond?

Yes — Richmond is a regular part of our service area. Around 30 minutes from our Surrey showroom. We cover Steveston, Brighouse, Terra Nova, Hamilton and the surrounding areas.

Is there anything specific about patio heaters in Richmond?

Richmond sits at or near sea level with a very high water table. Crawlspaces flood more readily here than anywhere else we work, so furnace and ductwork placement has to account for it.

Do I need a permit in Richmond?

The City of Richmond issues mechanical and building permits, and gas fitting is regulated by Technical Safety BC. We manage permitting and strata documentation.
