Default Space heater

hey, we've got the same heater... It's a lakewood radiant heater in my
case, and it was $30 last year...but I love it.

I like it,
it's an efficient process.


All electric heaters are 100% efficient. They are also expensive to run in
most places. Our electric rates (Connecticut) just went up to 18.5¢ per kW
hour so to run a 1500 watt heater for one hour costs 23¢. For the cost of
heating one room with electric, I can heat most of my house with oil. For
100,000 Btru of electric I'd pay 4.88 but for oil I'd only pay 1.86.
