This isn't a cost. It's an investment.
The figures on this page are real and we don't hide them — that's how AE operates. Treat them as planning ranges, not a site-specific quote. Your actual scope and price depend on design, site conditions, materials, and the work each written proposal includes.
When you compare proposals, compare what each includes — the scope, the materials, the exclusions, the warranty terms, and how changes are handled — not just the price tag. A lower total can reflect different scope, so ask each builder to clarify the differences.
Outdoor heaters in Phoenix, wattage per zone, permitted, integrated.
AE Outdoor Living installs outdoor heaters across the entire Phoenix metro — Bromic, Infratech, and Schwank electric infrared, Sunpak gas radiant tube, and integrated ramada or pergola heater arrays. Every install starts with a site walk to measure square footage, ceiling height, and wind exposure, then wattage-per-zone spec goes into the written proposal — no guessing at fixture count.

The AE heater sizing spec
- Site walk to measure square footage, ceiling height, wind exposure.
- Wattage-per-zone calculation matched to comfort target.
- Fixture layout drawn for even heat coverage — no cold spots.
- Controls spec (single, zoned, smart-home integration).
- Written permit strategy per jurisdiction.
Electric vs. gas — the honest tradeoff
Electric infrared: no venting, no gas line, instant on, simplest install. Best for most Phoenix patios. Gas radiant tube: delivers more heat over larger patios (400+ sq ft), lower operating cost per BTU, but needs gas line, ventilation clearances, and permits. AE picks based on patio size, existing utilities, and how often you'll actually use the heat — not on which one has the higher install ticket.
Why Phoenix homeowners choose AE
- Licensed electrical and gas partners on every install.
- Wattage-per-zone spec written before pricing.
