As spring arrived across the country — and in some cases didn’t quite — Infratech homeowners, architects, and designers were busy getting their outdoor spaces ready for the season ahead. From Southern California patios to a snowy Colorado spring, the videos below are a reminder that year-round outdoor living looks different everywhere. What they all have in common is that the right heating makes it possible.
DIYer Sarah McGill knows this better than most. She installed her first Infratech heaters on her back porch five years ago and hasn’t looked back — adding them since to her garage gym and short-term rental patio. For Sarah, the appeal is equal parts performance and practicality: wind-resistant heat, a sleek built-in look, and low maintenance over the long haul. Lindsay Parks, a fellow DIY homeowner, echoed that sentiment from her own porch, noting how much more time her family spends outside since adding flush mount Infratech heaters to the space. Interior designer Keegan Leuer of Manor Designs brought the professional perspective, sharing how the covered patio at Bresslyn Manor in Nashville was designed from the start for year-round use — with heating, lighting, and comfort considered alongside furniture and materials. Architect Jennifer Cohen and interior designer Kelly Griffiths rounded out the roundup, both speaking to how Infratech heaters transform outdoor spaces from seasonal afterthoughts into true extensions of the home.
