A heated outdoor patio lets guests stay longer outside and therefore consume more, the outdoor & indoor capacity can be utilised at its maximum.
Traditional heating options such as gas heaters are not ideal in terms of heating, energy consumption, cost and utilisation of already limited square metres. They give warmth to the air instead of guests directly which makes it a sustainable choice. Stoov® offers a healthy, efficient alternative which is less of an investment than traditional terrace heaters (electrical, natural gas, butan gas).
If you use a traditional heater in the five winter months, during 4 hours a day. And you warm 6 people per heater. You could make the following calculation:
Energy cost of 6 Stoov® cushions: €16,56
Energy cost of electric heater: €780,00
Energy cost of gas heater: €1113,00
