The more you understand the components of our outdoor systems, the more you will realize just how beneficial that truly are. We have compiled a list of the more commonly asked questions to help you better understand the ins-and-outs for the planning of your next patio, but if there is something we have missed please be sure to ask us!
Financial
Can your system be left in the elements for extended periods?
Yes, once installed, our systems remain outdoors permanently. The weatherproof stainless steel/aluminum construction allows them to be rated for outdoor installation and provide reliable service for the next 10-15 years.
What is the typical lifespan of your heating systems?
Being rated for outdoor use, our systems can handle the elements and still provide reliable service for 10-15 years.
What is the typical payback time (ROI) for a patio heating system provided by Patio Enhancement Group?
Although circumstances vary greatly, our experience has shown that our systems can typically be paid for (with increased patio revenues) in one or two seasons or in less than one year. Our RevCalc® computer program can assist you in determining your increased revenue potential and payback time according to your particular circumstances.
What will it cost to operate an outdoor heating system?
There are several factors involved in determining an operating cost for your patio heating system. Most important is fuel type (natural gas, propane, electric) and the length of time you choose to operate your system throughout the year. Natural gas is by far the most desired fuel and will produce the lowest operating cost. We have computer programs that can calculate and compare the operating costs of any of the fuel/system types to give you an accurate estimate of your operating cost based on your desired usage.
How much does an outdoor heating system cost?
There are many factors involved in the design, selection, and pricing of an outdoor heating system. The simple reason for this is that every outdoor environment is unique both in size and in the amount of wind protection it provides. Also a factor is the way you intend to use your patio. Answering a few simple questions can give us the information we need to promptly provide the pricing information you’re looking for.
