Discontinuation of Patio Comfort Freestanding Portable Patio Heaters
AEI Corporation has announced that it will discontinue the Patio Comfort Freestanding portable patio heater line. This product has been part of AEI’s catalog for 23 years, serving both residential and commercial outdoor spaces with dependable, portable heating.
Transition and Continued Support
AEI has decided to phase out production of the Patio Comfort Freestanding portable patio heater as part of a review of its product lineup and long-term plans. While new units will no longer be manufactured, AEI remains committed to supporting existing customers.
Current owners will continue to have access to:
- Replacement Parts – A full range of parts will remain available to help maintain performance. Customers can order directly from the AEI Parts Store.
- Technical Support – Assistance with installation, troubleshooting, and repairs will continue for the foreseeable future.
This approach ensures that existing Patio Comfort heaters can remain in service for many years while customers explore AEI’s other outdoor heating solutions.
