Bands use each model's lowest verified listing. Electrical work is the line most first-time buyers miss: outdoor traditional models typically need a dedicated 240 volt circuit, and our electrical calculator works out the amps, breaker and wire for any heater.
Movement through the season
Between August 7, 2026 and August 22, 2026, across 253 models priced on both dates, the median model moved +1.0 percent. The running record lives on the price index and the weekly price drops page.
About these numbers
Prices come from retail listings that pass the catalog's verification: whitelisted or partner sellers only, matched to the exact model, accessories and lookalike variants excluded, with the median of verified listings representing each model. Anything we cannot verify stays blank rather than estimated. Full rules are on the methodology page. For press inquiries, the contact route is on the about page; the underlying catalog is also available as a free CSV download with attribution.
