Is there such a thing as a low power space heater? My central heating

don't have heat in the kitchen and I have relatively high power stuff

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 guess it's all in what you're used to. We're having an unseasonably
warm 50 F day here in southeast Michigan, so the furnace is off and
the windows are open. Tomorrow will be a perfectly average 32 F, so
the windows will be closed and the furnace will be on.

It would take me the rest of my natural life to get used to your
climate, and I'd be miserable and cowering in the air conditioning the
whole time.

The snowbirds here are outside in T-shirts and shorts; the natives
wearing parkas. g

Can't help you with your space heating problem; electricity is more
expensive than gas here. Even more expensive than propane, I think.
