Outdoor Gas Heaters: Warm Pools and Pergolas in Minutes!

Al Mclean • August 15, 2025

As the scorching Australian summer approaches, many of us are eagerly preparing for outdoor gatherings, barbecues, and pool parties. However, one aspect of preparation that often gets overlooked is gas appliance servicing for homeowners.

Whilst the days in Melbourne are getting warmer, the nights can still be cool. And, let’s be honest, living in Melbourne means we need to be ready for four seasons in a day no matter the time of year!


As local gasfitters in Melbourne, we highly recommend looking into installing gas heaters to warm up your outdoor spaces or pool year-round round. 

Portable Patio Gas Heaters

Undeniably, gas heaters are ideal for an open patio space. They are portable, easy to use, and typically run on LPG. And, no need to refill if you connect it directly to your gas line. However, one downside is that they can be pretty heavy and hard to maneuver if you move them. 

Wall-mounted Gas Heater

An excellent option to heat your pool area or alfresco is a wall-mounted heater. Typically, fueled by natural gas, wall-mounted heaters are a great way to save space whilst keeping the area toasty. Plus, with the flick of a switch, you get instant heat! Additionally, wall-mounted gas heaters have low emissions and are often cost-effective choices for outdoor heating spaces.

Gas Tube Radiant Heaters

An excellent choice for a large outdoor space, radiant gas tube heaters works well in spaces with high rooflines. Perfect choice for restaurants, a gas tube heater produces radiant heat warming your customers, not the air (that eventually blows away). With rapid heat, zone control options and minimal ventilation needs compared to other gas heaters, gas tube radiant heaters could be the right choice for your business. 

Gas Pool Heaters

Ideal for anyone who spontaneously uses their pool or spa, gas pool heaters are a fast and effective way to heat water quickly. Commonly used for pools and spas, gas heaters are available in LPG and natural gas options. No matter which type you choose, you must have a licensed gas fitter install your gas heater to be safe.
