People who have never encountered such a way of heating street space are interested in the question of the form, characteristics and design of this device.
Each heater for the street has its own characteristics and design, but their common characteristic is the use of gas or electricity as an energy source.
They look like the usual lampposts that are found on the streets of cities.
Typical common structural elements of street heaters are:
- Leg. In gas heaters, a gas cylinder is mounted in the leg. In electric heaters, the leg serves only as an abutment;
- Area of heating. Gas heaters are able to heat the space around them. Electrical - only heat the area into which the rays of heat are directed.
- Visor. For a gas heater it is mandatory, since it performs the function of heat distribution towards people. Electric heaters may not have a peak, and the direction of the rays provides a special reflector.
A simple design and efficient use of space heaters creates comfort and coziness in the evening time of the day, serves as an original element of landscape design, not only of the courtyard of the house, but also of the interior itself summerhouses.

Rules for choosing street heaters
The main criterion for choosing an infrared heater is power. The capacity calculation for the premises should be 100 W / m2, and for the street - 150 W / m2.
Another rule for choosing street heaters is based on their quantitative number - two less than powerful will be more effective and safer than one powerful (especially if the space around extensive).
According to reviews, a street gas heater based on carbon spirals is the most reliable and durable, but the disadvantage is its great price. If the heater is not used often, then there are simple cheap models based on quartz, metal thread inside the glass vacuum tube.
The middle and most optimal option - halogen heaters (tubes, inflated with inert gases). Such a street heater has a high efficiency. They are quite economical and reliable.
If the heater is to be used for a certain period and unattended, you should purchase a heater with a timer and protection against overheating.
Which street heater to choose the best? Each person must determine the place, conditions and period of operation, as well as the purposes for which a heater is needed.
If you often travel, it is best to purchase a gas heater, but if you mostly rest near the cottage, you can choose an electric model.
