Gas Patio Heaters in Johannesburg
Patio heater quotes in Johannesburg come from appliance suppliers, gas dealers and event hire companies. Restaurants and venues often ask for several heaters with a cylinder delivery round. Ask whether heaters come with a full 9 kg cylinder and a cover, and, for hire in Gauteng, who delivers and collects.
The main gas patio heaters page explains the equipment, the rules and the costs in more detail.
Johannesburg notes on gas appliances & installation
Older houses in Parkhurst, Emmarentia and Kensington often have a freestanding gas stove fed through the wall from a cylinder outside, and many owners now want a tankless geyser on an outside wall as well. Any piped work needs a gas practitioner registered with SAQCC Gas and a CoC. Restaurants along 7th Street in Melville and in Maboneng ask for patio heaters and built in hobs, and landlords in Braamfontein ask about certificates.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Johannesburg
Johannesburg gets its LPG by road from filling plants and depots on the East Rand and in the south, then through dealers, refill stations, hardware stores and delivery bakkies that work suburb by suburb. Many older houses in Melville, Parkhurst and Kensington moved cooking to gas during load shedding, often with a 9 kg cylinder beside a freestanding stove, and some added a tankless geyser later. In inner city flats in Hillbrow, Berea and Yeoville, a 9 kg carried up the stairs runs a two plate cooker and a heater in winter. Restaurants on 7th Street and in Maboneng run 48 kg cylinders in cages. Cold Highveld nights push heater use, so keep rooms ventilated.
Typical gas patio heaters requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a mushroom heater on the stoep for winter lunches and evening braais
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: restaurant terraces and coffee shop decks heated through the winter
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: patio heaters on garden units and balconies where the rules allow gas

Service area: Johannesburg and surrounds
Requests from Johannesburg go to dealers and installers who already work in Sandton, Randburg, Roodepoort, Soweto, Rosebank, Fourways, Melville and the rest of the area. Mention an estate with access rules, a flat on an upper floor or a long walk from the gate, because they change the delivery.
