Outdoor Heaters, Fireplaces Have Year-Round Appeal

Outdoor living spaces are no longer only for summer enjoyment. Home buyers want to make the most of their entire property all year long. The growth of outdoor heaters, fireplaces, and fire pits are helping homeowners extend their enjoyment of the outdoors.

Overcoming the issue of being uncomfortably cold allows for using areas like patios. In addition, 27% of respondents also said a hard patio cover like that of a pergola will become commonplace, helping to shield others from weather elements like the rain. Further, outdoor heaters can be used to heat up spaces on cooler days or nights and repositioned for wherever you want them to be.

The average outdoor heater costs between $300 and $800, whereas an outdoor fireplace ranges from $2,000 to $4,000.
