Sunglo 40,000 BTU Propane Gas Portable Patio Heater - Black


The Sunglo A270 is a completely self-contained portable propane patio heater that can be set up virtually anywhere outdoors without a gas line connection. Running on a standard 20 lb propane tank (approximately 6 hours of continuous use per tank), the A270 delivers 40,000 BTU of true infrared radiant heat across a 12-15 foot diameter area. This is the Sunglo to choose when you need total placement freedom - event spaces, rental properties, pool decks, remote patios, or any location where running a natural gas line is not practical. The propane tank is concealed within the base for a clean appearance. Like all Sunglo heaters, the A270 features the signature deep dish aluminum reflector that broadcasts warmth over a wide area, the pilot-thermocouple 100% safety shutoff system, and wind-resistant operation up to 10 mph. No electrical connection required. Black powder-coated construction. Made in the USA since 1961 with complete lifetime parts availability.

The Sunglo Advantage

Since 1961, Sunglo has been the original and industry-leading name in outdoor radiant heating. While many competitors have come and gone, Sunglo heaters remain the preferred choice at world-class resorts, hotels, restaurants, and homes for several reasons that set them apart:

True Infrared Radiant Heat: Sunglo heaters work like the sun, warming people and objects directly rather than heating the surrounding air. This means instant warmth the moment you turn on the heater, with no wasted energy heating empty space.

Deep Dish Aluminum Reflector: The one-piece deep dish reflector is the heart of every Sunglo heater. This commercial-grade reflector broadcasts radiant heat over a 12-15 foot diameter coverage area, far exceeding the narrow cone of heat from typical mushroom-style patio heaters.

Wind Resistant Design: Rated for winds up to 10 mph horizontal, Sunglo heaters stay lit in conditions that shut down standard patio heaters. The infrared heating technology is inherently less affected by wind because it heats objects directly, not the air.

Commercial-Grade Construction: Heavy-duty corrosion-resistant materials throughout. Stainless steel models use 304-grade stainless steel. The primary aerated burner operates quietly while delivering maximum BTU output.

Lifetime Parts Availability: Unlike imported heaters that become disposable when parts fail, Sunglo maintains complete parts availability and support for every model they have ever manufactured. Your Sunglo heater is a long-term investment, not a throwaway.

Made in the USA: Every Sunglo heater is proudly designed and manufactured in the United States, ensuring strict quality control, CSA certification, and consistent performance.

Which Sunglo Model Is Right For You?

PSA265 - Permanent Post Mount (Natural Gas): Best for open, uncovered patios where the heater will stay in one location permanently. The post mounts directly in the ground or deck and cannot be moved once installed. Available with manual or 24V electronic ignition. 50,000 BTU.

A242 - Portable Post Mount (Natural Gas): Best when you need the economy of natural gas but want the flexibility to move or remove the heater. Features a freestanding weighted base with an optional floor clamp for added stability. Connects via a gas line with an optional 12-foot hose kit with quick-connect coupling. 50,000 BTU.

A244 - Suspended/Hanging Mount (Natural Gas): Best for covered patios where floor space is at a premium. Hangs from a ceiling, trellis, or mezzanine using a distinctive decorative scroll bracket. Heats 360 degrees downward, making it ideal over round tables or central gathering areas. 50,000 BTU.

A270 - Portable Propane: Best for completely portable heating with no gas line required. Self-contained unit runs on a standard 20 lb propane tank (approximately 6 hours continuous use). Place it anywhere outdoors without worrying about gas connections. 40,000 BTU.
