Gas heaters can provide extra heat to your sunroom. If your home is already heated by gas, you might be able to run additional venting to the area. While it's best to install sunroom heating when the house is built, oftentimes this is not done. When sunrooms are added to the home after it is built, installing a permanent gas heater is more labor intensive and requires the skills of a professional.

If your home is not heated by gas, a portable gas heater is a good option. It's important to know that when using portable gas heaters, it's crucial to keep the room well vented.

There are two types of gas heaters for sunroom: natural gas and propane gas. Propane gas is the most frequently used option. Most of these units use a 20-pound propane tank; the same type as used on your outdoor gas grill.

Some of the smaller tabletop units use a 1-pound propane canister, which is the same type as used on small tabletop gas grills. Typically these canisters are found in hardware stores and cost about $4.00 per canister.

If you have a really large sunroom consisting of 1000 square feet or more, you might be interested in the larger portable gas heaters that use a 100-pound propane tank. These beasts will heat a room for nearly a month without having to replace the tank.

Portable gas heaters for sunrooms range in price from $79 to $389. Before you invest in any portable gas heater, it's a good idea to conduct research via the Internet to compare features and prices. Some of the best portable heaters are manufactured by Dayton and Sunglo.
