{"type"=>"root", "children"=>[{"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"The cost of a patio heater can vary widely based on several factors, including the type of heater, its heating capacity, and additional features. Generally, electric patio heaters are the most affordable, often costing around $150 or less. Propane heaters, which are popular for their portability and efficient heat output, typically range from $150 to $600. On the higher end, natural gas heaters can cost around $1,500 or more due to their installation requirements and higher heat output. When choosing a patio heater, consider your budget, the size of the area you need to heat, and the heater's efficiency to find the best option for your needs."}]}]}

{"type"=>"root", "children"=>[{"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Determining the right BTU (British Thermal Unit) rating for your patio heater depends on the size of your outdoor space and the climate. As a general rule, you can calculate the required BTUs by multiplying the square footage of your patio by 20. For example, a 500-square-foot patio would need a heater with a BTU rating of around 10,000. If your patio is larger or has an irregular shape, consider using multiple smaller heaters to ensure even heat distribution. Additionally, factors like whether your patio is covered and the typical outdoor temperature in your area can influence the BTU requirements. By considering these elements, you can select a heater that provides adequate warmth for your outdoor space."}]}]}
