Energy/money saving question
I already have a couple space heaters one electric and one kerosene. I have a natural gas furnace. Is it more efficient to keep the thermostat on the furnace low and use the space heaters to warm the house or just turn up the thermostat a few degrees and not use the space heaters ?
Re: Energy/money saving question
Depends on how long you would run both, how much area you are heating and how much your per MMBtu vs electricity price is in your area.
In the short I would say use a space heater for the area you are in only. Don't leave them unattended...my apartment almost burnt down when I was younger. I also say that b/c I have a lil fear of space heaters.
