Default Low power space heater?

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.


Interesting suggestion. Never thought of that!
