This is a 2 year review on the unit. Zero issues. Absolutely one of the cheapest investments I have made into the house. Rather it be from a Pandemic stand point of view, or simply losing power in the winter - whatever the case is...this unit is a must have. it can run off of Natural Gas or off of a propane tank that you use on your BBQ gril... highly recommended- They still are selling this unit as of to date. - when i purchased I believe it was right at $200 - since then I have purchased an additional unit for my parents home. They were fortunate to get theirs for $90 at Farm and home store on clearance last year. Minimal tools required for insulation, obviously consult with a professional if you are not familiar with this line of work. The first winter savings will cost about what this unit is. So its going to end up free basically in the long run an pay for its self, not to mention having warm floors in the winter an no basement walls sweating and or eliminate potential mold/mildew in the winter months :) enjoy
This unit does not have a separate thermostat. The thermostat is a built in style knob. Similar to the knob in your car to turn Headlights on. You set the heat off of 5 different settings. 1 being not too hot 68 degrees and 5 offering temps above 100.
Thanks for posting! How did it work out for you over the winter? I was thinking about installing something like this in my basement. It's unfinished right now with insulation in the ceiling only.
Worked amazing. It has 5 heat settings. 1000sqft basement, cement walls open ceiling. Setting 1 kept it at 68 during 32 outside. Heat roses so upstairs was around 65. Setting 2 was around 72 degrees in basement, upstairs 67-68. $20-40 increase in gas bill per month on setting 1-2. Electric bill decreased $50-100 that same month. Floor in my house was heated and no socks required. I ended up putting a small box fan in the basement, leaving the basement door slightly open allowed Excellent air to be moved from downstairs to upstairs. Setting 3-4 during the coldest days 0-20 will keep the upstairs at 75-77. Basement will be around 80-85. Your walls may sweat in basement, if so use the box fan. The one from Walmart for $20 or similar. The built in fan on this heater does not push enough air. Read instructions also. Needs 3ft from ceiling I believe. Check tractor supply store, Walmart, home Depot an Lowe's. These machines have all different prices also. You want the one with the heat plate also. There's 2 models. One is just a open flame. Mine has a plate that stays warm
@@WhiteGuysWRX Good to hear! It sounds like it worked out for you this past winter. I do see some reviews about ventless eating oxygen supply but can't be that bad, could it? I slowly want to convert to gas from electric. Thanks for the tips!
@@DeronStJohn I didn't notice a difference in the oxygen levels. I did however buy a $25 carbon detector/smoke detector for peace of mind. I had zero issues an can't wait for the outside heat to die down lol. It's been brutal in the Midwest
