To heat a cottage or other room with a small area, it is best to purchase a gas heater. This device is capable of a short time raise the temperature to a comfortable level and even provide warmth to any outdoor place (terrace, tent, gazebo). All models can work autonomously, without connecting to the central highway.
According to the principle of operation and design, gas heaters for home and garden are divided into 3 types:
To warm an area of a certain size, such as a terrace or part of a huge warehouse, you should choose an infrared ceramic heater. Because, thanks to its characteristics, it is better suited than others for open spaces. The principle of operation of a gas infrared heater is as follows: the gas is mixed with the supplied air, then supplied to the ceramic tile, where it subsequently burns, thereby increasing the temperature of the heating element. By spreading thermal radiation, it heats objects around it, and from them the atmosphere warms up. The temperature of the heating element can reach 800°C or more, and no connection to the electrical network is required for operation.
The power of a gas ceramic heater for a summer residence varies from 1.2 to 4.2 kW, and the efficiency is more than 80%. Powered by gas cylinders or a central line, it is light in weight and ultimately easy to move. Another positive characteristic is that it does not dry out the air. It can also be installed not only on the floor, but also on walls and ceilings. Before choosing an IR heater for your dacha, you should remember that it does not heat the entire room, but only certain area, so if it is necessary to cover large space, it's worth buying a device with high power and the possibility of its regulation.
Convectors operate on the principle of convection, that is, from a room or street into an isolated combustion chamber cold air, where it heats up to required temperature, after which he goes into the house. All combustion products are discharged outside through the tube. This is what main drawback convector gas household heater - it definitely requires a ventilation system. The convector is usually installed under a window, it works both from gas from cylinders and from the main line, and to change the type of fuel it is enough to change the position of the switch. Power limits are 3-12 kW, well suited for country houses, offices, shopping pavilions and so on. Its main advantage is efficiency, which can reach 90%.
Gas catalytic heaters operate completely without flame and noise, which is why they are considered the safest. The average power is 2.9 kW, heating occurs due to the reaction of gas with the catalyst, as a result of which thermal energy is released, without the appearance of hazardous substances. The heating element can heat up to 500°C, but, judging by the reviews of experts, it is still recommended to use it in areas no larger than 20 m2.
In addition to fuel from gas cylinders, it can be powered by gasoline or electricity. Some models are equipped with fans, which increases thermal power up to 4.9 kW.
1. Bartolini Pullover I Turbo Plus – gas ceramic heater with an additional fan heater. Capable of heating rooms with an area of up to 100 m2, it consists of 3 heating panels with a total power of 4.2 and a fan of 2 kW. There are functions of piezo ignition, adjustment of heating modes and gas control. It operates completely without being connected to the electrical network, and the fan heater can function without a heater. Consumption – from 120-330 g/hour.
2. Wall-mounted convector gas heater Alpine Air DT-2000 is a reliable and durable device thanks to a steel heat exchanger High Quality. With a power of 2.3 kW it heats rooms up to 35 m2. There are electric ignition functions and a temperature regulator. Air exhaust and intake are carried out only from outside the building. Consumption – 190 g/hour.
3. Bartolini Primavera K – gas catalytic heater with a power of 2.9 kW, heated area – no more than 35 m2. The device has all sorts of sensors built into it: tilt angle, measuring the amount of oxygen, gas control, as well as piezo ignition. Consumption – 210 g/hour.
4. Ceramic gas heater Timberk TGH 4200 SM1 has a power of 4.2 kW, which allows you to heat areas of 60 m2. It has 3 switching modes - 1.4, 2.8 and 4.2 kW, sensors for gas control, tilt, oxygen level. Easily moves with wheels. It comes with 2 clamps, a hose and a reducer for a gas cylinder. Consumption – 100-300 g/hour.
5. Ceramic infrared Hyundai Geiser H-HG1-42-UI577 differs from other models in its interesting and stylish appearance, as well as the presence of rollover protection. Power is 4.2 kW, there are 3 switching modes, the size of the heated area is from 30 to 60 m2. Consumption – up to 305 g/hour.
The most important characteristic to pay attention to is power. On average, 1 kW is required per 10 m2, so for a summer house with an area of 30 m2 you will need at least 3 kW. For rooms up to 20 m2 it is recommended to use catalytic gas heaters, for large sizes– convector, and for open and street places infrared ceramic. It is also better to choose models that have power adjustment, tilt and fall sensors (in this case, the gas supply will be automatically shut off), carbon dioxide control (when high level the device will turn off) and the burner, if it suddenly goes out, and the piezo ignition function.
If you plan to use a gas heater for your dacha on an ongoing basis, then you should pay attention to its efficiency, in this regard would be better suited convector, and for one-time use, especially outdoors - infrared. Moreover, for this purpose there is a special portable model in the form of a lamppost. At its base there is a gas cylinder, and on a long pole there is an emitter. When choosing a collector-type device, you should definitely know the width of the wall of your house so that the pipe has a sufficient length.
“For a long time I couldn’t decide which heater was better, but after studying many reviews and characteristics, I bought the Bartolini Pullover I. The area of my house is 50 m2 and it warms it up easily and quickly. It’s very good that there is a gas control function, since elderly parents often live with me, and wheels for moving. In general, I have only a positive opinion about Bartolini and now I recommend him to my friends. Price: about 9,000 rubles.”
Alexander Romanenko, Moscow.
“I’ve been planning to buy an infrared gas heater for a long time and, having made short review characteristics, I decided to choose Timberk TGH 4200 SM2. Attracted not only interesting design, but also the ability to regulate the power, for example, a room of 40 m2 was quickly and well heated in mode 2 - 2.8 kW. And we managed to buy it very inexpensively – only 4,500 rubles.”
Igor Groshev, St. Petersburg.
"I've heard a lot positive feedback about the Alpine Air DT-200 convector gas heater, especially how quickly it heats the air and that it is absolutely safe for children. And the price seemed low compared to other similar devices - a little more than 10,000 rubles. In my opinion, it is quite inexpensive, considering that it fully justifies itself. It was installed by specialists under the window opening on the wall. And what I really liked is that it takes air for heating from the street, and not from the house.”
Stepan, Novosibirsk.
“Quite recently I got a dacha, but it doesn’t have main heating, so I decided to buy a Bartolini Pullover K gas catalytic heater, which came with a 24.5 liter composite cylinder. I chose this type of device because I heard a lot of reviews that with this operating principle it was considered the safest option. In addition, Bartolini is equipped with all kinds of sensors: gas control, shutdown when falling/tilting, oxygen level, and it’s convenient to carry thanks to wheels.”
Nikolay, Yekaterinburg.

It is dangerous to install near water sources (swimming pool, shower, bathtub) or place it in front of flammable materials. If you smell gas, you must immediately turn off the device and ensure the room is ventilated.
Heat a private house Can different ways, for this today there is big choice heating systems, however for country building the choice is significantly reduced. Among the most common options for heating equipment, the most popular are various variations gas systems. To understand which one is better to buy for your dacha, reviews should be studied, based not only on brand awareness, but also on technical specifications by fuel consumption. Some of these heaters can be used for heating wooden houses, and serve as a worthy alternative to a traditional oven.
Read in the article:
The line of gas heaters has three types of heating systems, significantly different in operating principle and appearance.
The principle of operation of such a heating device is similar to the operation of the sun; it, emitting infrared waves, heats the surfaces of walls and furniture that fall within its radius of action. The temperature in the room begins to rise, increasing due to the release of heat from these objects. Typically, such heaters are used as additional heating, although for heating small room their power will be sufficient.
The device of an infrared gas heater in a simplified form can be characterized as follows:
There are tubular portable ones, their operating principle is not significantly different, but the mixing of air with gas occurs in a blow burner, and the heating elements are metal tubes through which this mixture passes.
The advantages are that such heating is economical, and the air in the room heated by infrared rays is not too dry.
The disadvantage is the limited heating area; heat spreads only on those surfaces that are directly under the radiation; if the room is large, then it will be uncomfortable to stay away from the heat source.
The operating principle of such heating systems is based on the flameless combustion of a small amount of fuel on the surface of the heating element. Unlike the bulk of fuel combustion systems, its consumption is not at all high, this is due to the small amount of combustion products. Heat release occurs in this way:
Important! Catalytic heaters are not only gas, but also gasoline; the operating principle of such heating systems is the same.
To the advantages of gas ceramic heaters for a dacha, reviews include:
The only downside is the small area that they can heat.
Among all heating systems, a gas convector is most similar to conventional batteries, both in appearance and in terms of the maximum heated area. Its body is made of metal and coated with paint that can withstand high temperatures. Slots in the bottom and upper parts convectors serve to ensure air circulation. The operating principle is similar to a conventional gas boiler.

Gas is still the most economical fuel compared to electricity or diesel. The cost of heating rooms with gas is much lower. If previously it was easier to heat country houses with wood or coal, today it is possible to purchase a good gas heater for the dacha. Manufacturers offer different Constructive decisions heating devices using gas fuel. Each type has its own characteristics that should be taken into account when purchasing a unit.
There are many models of heaters available that use a bottled propane-butane mixture as fuel. The operating principle and design have their own characteristics. If you understand them, it is not difficult to choose the optimal unit for a particular case.
Convector gas units heat the room in a reliable traditional way:
Modern models of gas heaters for summer cottages are equipped with automatic temperature control. Sensors detect the temperature and give a command to turn the fuel supply on/off. The igniter works constantly.
The grille, which is installed above the hot casing, protects from possible burns. Most models are equipped effective system safety, which includes sensors that monitor pressure and fuel level, option automatic shutdown. However, even with many layers of protection, violation of fire safety regulations can lead to a fire.
Powerful devices are equipped with a fan that accelerates the movement of air through the air exchanger. Heating of the room is achieved faster and more evenly. You will have to put up with the noise generated by the fan motor. By the way, its presence extends the life of the heater, as it prevents overheating.
The high sensitivity of temperature sensors allows you to keep temperature regime with an error of 1-2 degrees. In this way, stable heating of the room is achieved.
The units are not very expensive, but work well with mains or bottled gas. If you choose the right power, they can serve as the main source of heat. Laconic shapes or decorative “screens” with fire imitation look great in the interior of a garden house.
Convector types of mobile gas heaters have many advantages, which is why such models have been popular for a long time:
Disadvantages of wall-mounted convector gas heaters:
Suitable for small spaces as a temporary or additional heat source. They are mounted on the wall and tied to the chimney, therefore they are of the stationary type. Gas fireplaces, which have open fireboxes, require the construction of a full-fledged chimney.
In places where power supply is available, you can use combined type heaters operating not only on liquefied gas, but also from the mains.
Units that have infrared emitters in their designs are easy to maintain and safe to use, which is why they are favorites among summer residents.
Such devices are equipped with special gas burners that create numerous but low flames. They warm up not the air space, but a ceramic infrared emitter. Infrared radiation is not scattered in the air, but is absorbed by dense materials, causing them to heat up. No fans required. Therefore, the operation of such a heater is silent.
It is not difficult to find a suitable place to place such a unit. There are powerful, massive models on wheels and inexpensive portable options, weighing no more than 2 kg, designed for small areas. If necessary, such devices can be brought to the dacha in the trunk or interior of a car and not left there unattended.
Mobile installations powered by bottled gas are completely autonomous and will not require a stack of permits.
Advantages of gas heaters for summer cottages with infrared emitters:
The disadvantages of infrared units are not significant, but they must be taken into account:
Some models can also act as a lighting device. When you need to decide which heater is best to choose for heating your dacha, you need to take into account the size of the area and relate it to the power of the unit.
The heater power is calculated using the formula 1 kW per 10 sq. m area. But this rule applies where the thermal insulation of the house is at a high level. To be on the safe side, you should choose units with power reserves.
Using a gas gun, you can quickly warm up even large rooms and areas in the yard. The operating principle is simple. A burner is inserted into the housing, and a fan is mounted behind it, which is powered by electricity. Thanks to this design, a directed flow of flame-heated air is created.
The unit is often used in car repair shops, construction sites for drying walls and installation suspended ceilings. To operate the heat gun you must purchase gas cylinder. Electrical part Can be powered by mains or battery.
IN Lately Safe composite gas cylinders are popular. Unlike steel ones, they are not subject to corrosion. Tanks made of translucent polymers allow you to see how much liquefied gas remains inside.
You can quickly warm up a country house with a heat gas gun, and then maintain the temperature with an electric heater.
The advantages of such heating devices:
These devices are not often used for heating rooms due to the following disadvantages:
If you choose which gas heaters are best for a summer residence, such devices will not be a priority. The flame quickly burns oxygen and fills the space with combustion products. It is dangerous to use it for a long time in a room where there are people and animals. Therefore, large greenhouses, outbuildings, and workshops are heated with such equipment.
Before buying a gas gun, you should check the availability of a safety system, such as protection of the electric motor from overheating, control of flames and gas leaks, and automatic shutdown when the fan is de-energized.
Currently, catalytic heaters powered by liquefied gas are considered the safest to use. There is no open flame here. The main working part is the catalyst plate, made of fiberglass mesh coated with a layer of palladium or platinum. She receives fuel mixture. The operating principle is based on a complex chemical reaction oxidation of gaseous hydrocarbons with further production of thermal energy.
The device can heat small spaces. Catalytic heaters are popular not only among summer residents, but also among tourists who use portable options.
There are no combustion products, so this heating equipment considered environmentally friendly and safe. If you are choosing which gas heater to choose for your dacha, you should pay attention to these environmentally friendly models.
The model range of catalytic type devices is very diverse. They are used as the main or auxiliary type of heating.
The advantages of such a heater are obvious:
Devices based on the catalytic operating principle would be ideal, but their cost is still very high.
Over time, the unit will have to change the catalytic panels, the price of which is two-thirds of the cost of the heater itself.
Outdoor gas heaters are not yet so widespread in household level. More often they can be seen on cool spring evenings in cafes and on terraces. These devices are capable of creating a comfortable temperature in an open space in a certain area around them.
The design resembles . A gas tank is hidden at the base of the structure. It contains burners with infrared emitters. The structure is crowned with a reflector that redirects the heat flow downwards.
In another design solution, the radiator is located vertically, and the heat is radiated to the sides radially. Models of targeted action on a specific sector are produced. Used on children's and sports grounds, open verandas.
The outdoor heater is not intended for indoor use. The main thing that attracts him is aesthetic appearance and the opportunity to enjoy fresh air for a long time on cold days.
If a celebration is planned during the cool season, such a heater will allow you to gather guests on the terrace or cover festive tables in the courtyard.
We offer you to familiarize yourself with several models of gas heaters popular among summer residents.

Methods for heating residential and non-residential buildings are very diverse. There are many options, and each owner of a country house, cottage, garage or workshop finds his own solution. The ideal one is the one that requires the least amount of resources and gives the optimal result. For many, this solution is a gas heater for the dacha. It does not require a complex piping system or installation of boilers, takes up little space, and does not need to be connected to the power supply. The only difficulty is to choose the right model that suits the owner’s purposes.
For a heater of this type to function, it is not necessary to connect the building to any communications. It can work in rooms where there is no light or gas pipeline. Gas in a cylinder is used as fuel. Using infrared radiation, the device heats objects, which then release heat into the air. This allows you to use energy resources more economically and get maximum returns. Gas heaters for home almost instantly create zones of thermal comfort in unheated rooms.
The designs of different models may vary greatly, but the principle of the device is approximately the same. Inside the isolated chamber there is gas-burner, there are thermostats and valves that ensure the safe operation of devices, emergency shutdown systems. Reflectors, ceramic panels, and perforated sheets are used to transfer heat into the room. The device casing can heat up to 60 degrees, which guarantees no burns when touched. Gas is supplied through a hose or stored in a special built-in container.
Design features of a heater with a built-in gas tank
Design features provide the following advantages of gas heaters:
In general, gas appliances can hardly be called completely safe. As statistics show, there are indeed accidents associated with their use, but their number does not exceed the number of tragedies that occurred due to electric heaters. When compared with liquid fuel heaters, gas heaters are definitely safer. When operating gas appliances, it is important to adhere to safety regulations and ensure good ventilation indoors.
Installation of gas heaters is not particularly difficult, but it is better to entrust it to qualified specialists
There are the following types of heaters:
Catalytic infrared heaters are a good option for country houses and cottages. Devices of this type operate silently, are safe and environmentally friendly, and are very effective. The heater runs on liquefied propane-butane; a catalytic panel (usually made of fiberglass with platinum) is used as a heating element. Models with additional fan heaters are more efficient, their power can reach 4.9 kW. One catalytic heater is enough for high-quality and quick heating of a room up to 20 sq.m.
Diagram of operation of a catalytic heater
There are ceramic (they are called light, because the radiation temperature exceeds 800 degrees) and catalytic (dark, temperature below 600 degrees). Features of a gas infrared heater are high efficiency, durability and reliability. Their disadvantage is their relatively high price, but their advantages include autonomy, uniform heat distribution, ease of installation and operation.
During operation, the heater does not burn oxygen, which allows you to create a comfortable microclimate in the house. Infrared models are varied and differ in aesthetic design. There are not only floor, but also wall and ceiling heaters. They can be used in residential buildings, at dachas, in workshops, garages.
Infrared devices can be used in both residential and non-residential premises
The devices are autonomous heating systems. They are safe, reliable, and highly effective. Combustion products and gas are discharged outside and do not enter the room. Gas convectors quickly warm up rooms, are used as main or additional heating, and are capable of maintaining temperatures from 13 to 38 degrees. The heating intensity is adjusted automatically. If desired, you can set different temperatures in different rooms Houses.
Schematic representation of the operating principle of a gas convector
The choice should be made depending on the type and purpose of the devices. Each model is developed for specific purposes - for heating residential premises, garages, cottages, for installation on the street, in a tent.
The first thing to consider is whether heating is needed country house for a long time or for a short period.
