I have an elderly neighbor who likes to work in his garage, and likes it
warm. He's had a kerosene heater and now a propane heater. He's not entirely
happy with the price of the fuel. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't want to
driving back to the h/w store every few days or week to get more fuel. I
think he might be better off with electric. I checked at the local h/w
store, and they have a quart heater. Don't know much about them. Are they
more efficient than non-quarts. The h/w guy said he used two Holmes large
quartz headers (1875 watts) to keep his garage warm. Comments.
Last time I looked the cost of electric energy far exceeded the cost of
chemical
energy.
Here the cost of heating a home with electricy is far higher than using
piped
gas. I'm fairly certain electric heating is also more expensive to run
than
bottled gas unless your transportation costs are unusually high.
I can't be bothered to search for figures right now.
