Curling up by the fireplace? Follow these safety tips
Prince William fire officials offer up fireplace and home heating safety tips.
What type, and, or, kind or brand of electric portable heater is most efficient and least expensive to run?
I believe if I purchase and use supplemental electric space heaters, the costs to run these would be way less than what I am paying to heat my house with propane right now. It takes 5 gallons of propane to heat my 1500 square foot house per day. At $3 per gallon, that is $450 per month. I heated with the electric oil-filled heaters for one month and it was only a total of $150 for my electric for that month. So, even if it costs twice that, I would still be ahead by using electric to heat my house. Right?
But what kind of electric heaters should I purchase? Radiant? Infrared? Convection? What brand, etc.? I am planning to use the money I have saved for propane, to purchase heaters, instead. (Seems to make more sense to me to do it this way).
The electric company will not suggest a type to use. They just tell you it’s a “matter of preference.” Like, duh………..
Below is an article that might help and also explain why the electric company says its a matter of preference.
I know this isn’t much help but I hope it helps a bit.
Good luck
