Default Natural gas space heaters

I just installed a 30K Btu/h natural gas vent-free radiant heater in
a house near Allentown, PA, where kerosine now costs $3.50/gallon
and natural gas costs about $1.50/therm (roughly equivalent).

Empire Comfort Systems (Enerco) makes this "Mr. Heater." Tractor Supply
sells it for $229.99 as sku #2151954. It comes with a thermostat and
a blower and a digital temperature display. It has an oxygen depletion
sensor, and it can work without grid power, but there have been some
problems since installation.


I have never seen one of those style heaters that didn't have the same
slightly acrid odor that is really annoying in a confined space such as
a house. Is this one any different?
