Reserved it, thinking it was battery operated being so small and now realised it might be power socket operated and electricity is probably more expensive than gas so using the heating might be cheaper.
Anybody have one or can tell from the website?
Didn't really know where to put it so sorry if GD is the wrong forum.
Lol, loving that website. Basically, propane heaters are the way forward for small and portable. That or buy a car battery.
Even a car battery won't keep it going very long. I reckon a 40Ah car battery (smaller car battery) would run a 2.4KW fan heater for around 12 minutes.
You'll then have to spend several hours recharging the battery from the mains.
In terms of heating in a house. If you want heat all over then Central heating is going to be cheaper. If you just need to boost the heat in one room then a fan heater (or some other form of electric heater) might be best.
Well if your dad's called Mr Duracell I suppose that'd be different.
Fan heaters are expensive to run cos they blow warm air all over the room... I reckon I feel more warmed up per KWh with my mini thermostatic 800w oil-filled radiator under the table.
