If you have propane, you can add a small wall/floor propane heater for living room or whatever. Instead of turning on whole house furnace. If I were to build a new house it would have 2 sources of heat. Whole house and and Kerosene Monitor type wall/floor heater. There are outside vented ones as well as vent free. Vent free cannot be used in an enclosed room. LINK |
If you
don't have propane, a radiant (infrared/IR) heater may fill the bill.
I was delighted to see a
300 watt IR heater (low-powered) is available at Amazon. I'm currently using a 1800 watt convection heater.
That low-wattage IR heater may be suitable for a bedroom; there, most IR heaters generate too much heat!
