Bring warmth to your outdoor space with our extensive range of outdoor heaters and outdoor gas fireplaces, built for the cooler months on the NSW coast. Whether you need a wall-mounted electric heater for a small courtyard or a statement gas fireplace to anchor your outdoor entertaining area, our Glendale showroom has options to suit every budget and style. Explore the collection below and find the right fit for your home.
Not sure whether to go electric or gas for your outdoor heating?
Electric outdoor heaters are the easiest way to add warmth without the fuss. Our Heatstrip electric heater range includes wall-mounted, freestanding, and portable models from 800W right up to 3600W, so you can size the heat to your space. No flue and no gas connection means installation is usually as simple as mounting a bracket and plugging in.
If you want the crackle and glow of a real flame without moving to a full gas fireplace, outdoor gas heaters are worth a look, too. Our Rinnai Radiant range runs on natural gas or LPG and includes Wi-Fi models you can switch on from your phone before you even step outside. They’re a great option for an outdoor entertaining area where you want instant heat with minimal upkeep.
Either way, our team can help you determine the right heat output for your space, whether that’s a compact balcony or a wide-open patio.
Outdoor fire pits and gas fireplaces for real flame ambience
For the cooler months spent outdoors with family and friends, nothing beats the warmth and atmosphere of a real flame. Our outdoor fire pit collection includes durable cast-iron bowls and the Real Flame Pit Fire, available in square and rectangular shapes, with a choice of volcanic rock, pebbles, glass, or driftwood media to match your landscaping.
If you’re after something more substantial, our Escea outdoor fireplace range and the Real Flame Exuro gas fireplace bring genuine architectural presence to a patio or alfresco area, with clean lines and a strong, steady flame. Regency’s Gemfire outdoor gas fireplace is another popular choice for homeowners after a freestanding centrepiece that performs well in coastal and regional NSW conditions.
These are premium products, and rightly so. They’re built to sit outdoors in all weather and become the gathering point for every backyard get-together from now through winter.
Complete your outdoor entertaining area
Some of our outdoor gas fireplaces double as outdoor kitchens, combining a fire feature with a cooktop, sink, and storage in one built-in unit. The Artis Fusion and Escea EK1250 ranges are designed for exactly this, giving you a fireplace and a cooking space without the need for two separate builds.
If you’d rather keep your heater and cooking separate, pair your new outdoor heater with a quality BBQ and some comfortable outdoor furniture to complete the space. Sit by the fire and fire up the barbeque while your guests relax around a setup built for the Hunter lifestyle.

FAQs about outdoor heaters and fireplaces
Do I need a flue for an outdoor gas fireplace?
It depends on the model. Some outdoor gas fireplaces are designed to vent directly outdoors without a flue, while others, particularly inbuilt or outdoor kitchen models, may need one. Our team can confirm what’s required for the specific fireplace you’re looking at.
What’s the difference between a fire pit and an outdoor gas fireplace?
A fire pit is typically a standalone bowl- or table-style unit, often fuelled by gas, with decorative media such as glass or volcanic rock. An outdoor gas fireplace is usually a larger, more permanent fixture with a more traditional fireplace look and higher heat output.
Can I install an electric outdoor heater myself?
Many of our wall-mounted and portable electric heaters are straightforward to install, though we always recommend an electrician handle any hardwired connections. Portable models can simply be plugged in and moved as needed.
Do you install outdoor fireplaces across the Hunter Region?
Yes, our team has installed fireplaces across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, and the wider Hunter Region for decades. Get in touch, and we can talk through what’s involved for your home.
Which outdoor heater suits a small courtyard or balcony?
A wall-mounted electric heater from our Heatstrip range is usually the best option for smaller or tighter outdoor spaces. They don’t need floor space, and lower wattage models still provide plenty of warmth for a compact area.
