Up in our area, recently there has been a push on the small space heaters run by electric. Some make claims that they only cost a dollar a day to run. A friend said that she was able to heat her kitchen and dinning room with one of these units. But the rest of the house was with the propane furnace. She said she saved some money, but now had this box in the way all the time.
Another person was buying wood to burn. After the end of the year...He had paid 30% more for wood than propane.
Some research is needed when choosing alternative fuels. Check with your current companies for discounts and check with other energy experts for energy comparisons. Wood, is cheaper if you have the wood close by and don't have to pay for it. Electric is cheaper if you go off peak, but more expensive if you run space heaters.
Do your research before investing many dollars to save only a few!
This load cost me nothing for the wood, $6 for gas and about 3 hours of my spare time. I will save about $50 in propane.
Think it out. There is also some wear and tear on machinery. Get help deciding if the switch is worth the time and investment.
