Gas and Electric Shed Heaters

Effective Ways To Heat A Shed

During winter months, outdoor structures such as sheds, orangeries and summer houses can get uncomfortably cold. A shed heater helps to extend an outdoor structure’s usage even throughout the most uncomfortable temperature drops.

Sheds, orangeries and summer houses are often used to relax, work or indulge in hobbies inside. When the cold strikes, it can become uncomfortable to spend time in these structures - which is where a shed heater is useful. At National Heater Shops, we supply a huge range of heaters suitable for sheds, orangeries and summer houses or different sizes and requirements. From portable heating to fixed units, and with gas and electric options available.

Electric Shed Heaters

Electric shed heaters offer an efficient, fume-free way of heating. We have several types of electric shed heaters available, such as infrared shed heaters and electric fan heaters. Electric infrared heating units are popular for use in small spaces, as they heat objects and people as opposed to the air, meaning they are perfect for spot heating small spaces such as sheds or summer houses. Many of our infrared heating units are small and portable, making them perfect for temporary usage in domestic or commercial environments.

Gas Shed Heaters

Our selection of gas heaters offer an alternative to electric heaters. These units often offer a greater coverage and heat output, making them great additions for smaller spaces without taking too much room. The Tectro SRE 1330 TC-2 Paraffin Laser Heater - 240v in particular is a versatile unit capable of heating sheds, summerhouses, chicken coops and more with efficient, clean heat.

Shed heaters have many benefits beyond just creating a comfortable environment for occupants. They also combat dampness and deterioration of belongings, often caused by external elements such as rain and wind. Sheds and summerhouses can be prone to leaks and structural damage due to their materials, meaning that maintaining an appropriate temperature inside can increase their longevity. In some cases, a shed dehumidifier can also be used in tandem with a heater, in order to lower humidity and reduce the risk of mould or damage to either the shed itself or its contents.

Shed Heater FAQs

What size heater do I need for my shed?

The best shed heater size depends on the dimensions of your shed, the ceiling height and insulation quality. Smaller insulated sheds may only require a small compact electric heater, whilst larger workshops may benefit from a more powerful unit.

You can use our heating calculator to help determine what heater best suits your needs.

Can a shed heater help prevent damp and condensation?

Yes, a shed heater is capable of reducing damp and condensation often found in sheds - especially during rainy weather. Whilst a dehumidifier is the best piece of equipment for drying, a heater is capable of providing short term relief.

Can I use a shed heater in a summerhouse?

Yes, many compact heating units are suitable for use in a summerhouse. Panel heaters and infrared heaters are common choices for summerhouses because they provide reliable warmth without taking up too much space.
