How we repair your Fire Sense Patio Heater
A patio heater is an outdoor heater, usually fueled by propane or natural gas or powered by electricity, that warms an open-air seating area. A patio heater relies on a heat source, safety controls such as limit switches and flame sensors, blowers or circulator pumps, and a thermostat. A technician checks the ignition and safety sequence, airflow or water flow, and electrical controls.

Rust or corrosion
