    Free standing Gas patio heaters reduced by about €75 in my local Dunnes Stores (Mullingar) probably available in many branches.

    Two different outputs cheapest is €24.95 and another for €37.95.

    Friends of the Earth won't be happy! :D

    No doubt the gas to run one will soon make up the €75 saving.

    They're selling them off cheap because it is soon going to be illegal to sell them under a new EU Directive.

    They're not worth the money, they don't exactly give out that much hear (hot air rises, not drops) so you are paying a load of money just to waste gas and throw hot air up into the air.

    If you follow that theory then isn't the fireplace in your sitting room a waste of space if all that hot air just rises...?

    It's been proven that about 70% of the heat from an standard open fire goes up the chimney so these are not efficient !

    Correct and the other 30% will enter your room from ground level, rise through your room, hit your ceilings, circulate slightly around your room and moderately go through the ceilings into upstairs.

    A patio heater on the other hand, begins from a base above the area you are heating and is not contained in a defined area with walls and a ceiling. The hot air rises from a source which is above your head anyway and then the vast majority of the heat and energy just floats away!

    Money down the drain.
