How do you solve start-up problems with your patio heater?
Isn't your patio heater starting? There might be different reasons for this. In this article, you can read the most common ones. We investigated how to solve these problems for you.
Gas patio heater: check the electric ignition
It may sound simple, but the electric ignition is often forgotten. Make sure to place the battery in the electric ignition properly before you turn on the gas patio heater. Without a battery, the igniter doesn't give a spark. As a result, the gas won't ignite.
Electric patio heater: the fuses blow
Your fuses may blow when you turn on an electric patio heater. When this happens, you can use the following tips:
- To keep the peak power low, you should start the heater at the lowest setting.
- Buy a soft starter to weaken the peak power.
- Contact a professional electrician and check if the fuse in the fuse box can be replaced by a C-type.
- Do you use 2 patio heaters? Wait before you turn on the second one. That way, you prevent the peak power from multiplying.
