my wife and i just moved into our new home and it is freezing. We have electric baseboard heaters and they aren't doing the trick. is there a space heater out there that could help us keep warm this winter, right now it is -12 degrees out side we have put plastic over the windows. All of our doors have towels infront of them to cut down on the draft, please help we are freezing.
should have checked out the heat before buying it, try the eden pure heater, have a gas furnace installed,
I would get a new portable gas heater, they are found in any hardware store. If you have fans you can put them on to blow the warm air down from the ceiling. One of the cheapest and economical types of electric heaters is those fireplaces because they produce heat and blow it. it will probably cost less to use one of those and turn off those baseboard heaters than to continue using the heaters alone. I suggest you look outside of your home to see if you can block any wind from getting to your doors and windows. Insulate around your hot water heater, put extra mats, carpets, even blankets on the floor. You can find a lot at Salvation Army and Thrift stores. Get foam spray insulation in a can and fill in your walls. For ten bucks you can plug the drafts. Wear warm clothing and have an electric mattress cover on your bed to heat up at night. Use last seasons clothes to package and place under your bed for a extra draft protection. Next year plant evergreen trees and consider solar panels.
Get a portable kerosene heater from home depot or any hardware store. Read the instructions and use it safely. they are very safe when used as directed, and they make LOT of REAL heat! They cost about 100.00 and last for years if you take care of them...by the way they put out DOUBLE the heat of an Eden Pure--which is nothing more than another electric heater which takes 1500 watts to run and produces 5000 btu of heat....a kerosene heater makes 10,000 but, and the larger stove pipe types make 23,000 btu. you probably only need the radiant, wall hugging modely for the living room which is cheaper to buy and takes less oil.
I hear the Eden Pures are wonderful!
