A frequently asked question asked by customers is: What is the cost to run your average stand-up propane style patio heater compared to a natural gas or ceiling-mounted heater? A very typical gas rate in the US is about $1 per therm. With this fuel price, a 34,000 to 40,000 btu heater cost about $0.34 per hour to operate. Your typical liquid propane stand up portable heater will cost about $1.59 per hour to operate depending on propane price.
A benefit to selecting natural gas heaters is eliminating the hassle of storing tanks because the gas source is from the hard pipe connections. You also use less time because you will not need to drive to exchange out propane tanks. Portable liquid propane heaters do have stronger safety factors to consider.
