Is there such a thing as a low power space heater? My central heating in my
mobile home is propane which has become too expensive to use. I don't have
heat in the kitchen and I have relatively high power stuff like a
refrigerator, MW oven, bread machine, etc. there. Rather than worrying
about tripping the breaker can anyone think of a way to up the temps a bit
when I'm in there for any length of time? I live in SW AZ so cold to me is
50s - 60s.
I have a swamp cooler there whose AC receptacle would be available in
winter but I'm afraid it doesn't use nearly as much current as a space
heater so that though the swamp cooler doesn't cause any breaker tripping
the heater might.
Suggestions? Experiences?
TIA
How about a heat lamp? Radiant heat - about 150 watts. WSillwarm you
and surfaces, not air si is quite effective.
Here's a couple of models just examples to read-up-on :

I was thinking moe the reflector flood type bulbs used in bathrooms
- or "brooder lamps" used to keepchicks warm on the farm.
Like the 250 watt ones:
