Outdoor Heater Rentals in San Francisco — FAQ
Do I need a permit for a heater in a public park?
Yes, for many public spaces, permits are required. Always check with the SF Recreation and Park Department or your venue administrator beforehand.
What kind of power do these heaters require?
Most of our heaters run on propane, which we supply. Electric options are available but require dedicated circuits, so plan accordingly for your venue.
Can you deliver to a rooftop deck?
Absolutely, as long as there's elevator access or reasonable stair access. Please let us know the specifics of your rooftop setup when booking.
How many heaters do I need?
Plan one mushroom heater per 100–150 sq ft. A 20×40 tent typically needs 5–7 patio heaters or 1–2 forced-air units.
Is propane included?
Most operators include a full propane tank per heater. Extended events may need a refill or second tank.
Can heaters be used inside a tent?
Mushroom and tower patio heaters require proper clearance. Indoor-rated forced-air units are recommended for fully-enclosed tents.
