Supplementing Your Home Heating System with Propane Space Heaters

Posted: March 30, 2018

If you’re relying solely on your central heating system to keep your North Carolina home warm, it will more than likely have to run full-time to do its job, heating unoccupied rooms and wasting energy along the way.

But there is a way to stay warm and comfortable if you are currently using electric heat pumps for your central heat: give it an assist with propane space heaters.

Adding high efficiency propane space heaters to your home will help you by:

• Creating an efficient zone heat set-up – Heating smaller sections of the house individually gives you the ability to customize your heating set-up so you can get the most for your heating dollar.
• Heating rooms quickly – Propane burns hot, and in a smaller space that heat will do its job quickly. What may take a central heating system half hour or more will take just minutes with a propane safety heater.
• Reviving “lost” rooms – Drafty or difficult to heat rooms are a challenge for a central heating system, but not for a powerful propane heater. They’re perfect for home additions, too.

Today’s propane-powered direct vent, ductless space heaters are smart (many are programmable) and safe, with features like oxygen depletion sensors that shut off the heater if it detects the level of oxygen in the air is dropping to unsafe levels.

They’re available in a variety of sizes and styles, too, so you can match with and heat just about any room – all while significantly outperforming virtually any electric heater.
