Do a small gas space heater run off oil or gas? The portable type.

RLB asked:

Our plan this winter is to use less propane by buying some kind of portable space heaters–quartz, oil-filled radiator, etc.
I’d appreciate any advice as to which is best overall by way of heat produced, electricity usage and initial cost. Thanks!

jessica b asked:

We just bought a 1900s fixer. Currently it uses a wood stove to heat the entire house ( 2 stories, 900+ sq each). Other than using portable space heaters for the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom, what are some suggestions for heat? The house has natural gas piped to it. Eventually I would like to get away from the wood stove, but my budget will be tight for the next year or two, in order to fix up the rest of the house. Thank you for your ideas!!!

Wendy b asked:

In order to save money, I have moved my puter and most into my nicely heated 12×15 ft room. I spend 75% of my time in this room. I intend to leave the house furnace off and use only a portable effeicient space heater, is there anything I should worry about in not heating the rest of the house except in the evening when I am out there watching TV ? NO, the pipes won’t freeze I live in Or and it does get below freezing but rarely below about 26F

shawnp089 asked:

I really think that is going to be too expensive. Im thinking of just putting portable space heaters in each room (Bedrooms and Living room). But I was wondering if there may be a better idea out there.
P.S. I rent so any hardwiring may be out of the question.

anonymity asked:

It is so cold out and I am curious to know if it costs more to run my (not gas) wall heater or to purchase a portable heater. I really want to purchase one of the electric fireplaces that home depot sells, just wondering if it would help save my power bill.
Thank you
I am in Seattle

Help. I need some ideas for a space heater that will heat a large bedroom but also be portable enough for my 83 year old mom to move around. It needs to be safe too! So I don’t worry. Any ideas?
