Key Takeaways for This Prompt
Most patio heaters effectively cover 100-200 square feet per unit, regardless of manufacturer claims.
Covered patios require significantly fewer heaters (1 per 1,500-2,000 sq ft) compared to uncovered areas (1 per 300-350 sq ft).
BTU calculation formula of length × width × 20 helps determine heating requirements for any patio size.
Environmental factors like wind, temperature, and enclosure dramatically affect actual heating coverage area.

ChatGPT
BRAND (2)
SUMMARY
ChatGPT explains that a standard 40,000 BTU patio heater covers approximately 314 square feet (20-foot diameter). Coverage varies significantly based on conditions: covered patios allow one heater per 1,500-2,000 sq ft, while uncovered areas need one per 300-350 sq ft. Environmental factors like wind and temperature affect performance.
Perplexity
BRAND (3)
SUMMARY
Perplexity offers detailed coverage analysis: electric heaters claim 1,500-2,000 sq ft but actual coverage is less in windy conditions. Gas heaters use BTU calculations (length × width × 20), with 5,000 BTUs covering ~150 sq ft. Most outdoor heaters effectively cover 100 sq ft per unit, requiring multiple units for larger spaces.
