I love them, but I guess much depends on what you're using them for - and how they are fueled.
I doubt there is anywhere in the USA where electricity comes anywhere near as cheap as propane or NG. If so, I'd like to here where.
We've got several propane infrared heaters that do not require any vents attached. We started with the Procom "Blue Flame" models that are not infrared. Good for generally heating an entire room. We then switched to their infrarad models and they target nearby objects and heat instantly. They use less gas to heat nearby objects (like people). 28K BTU heater with thermostat costs around $190. Great deal, and even with our high propane prices - much cheaper then electricity. We have two big rooms with the 28K models, and also one bathroom with a 6K model.
Here in New York - Electricty is priced at .12 per KWH but actually costs .18 per KWH.
Propane is currently $2.50 when bought bulk-rate.
By the way, there are some people on these forums that have "fits" whenever I mention these "non-vented" heaters. So let's get it sraight. They are 100% legal and require NO vent attached. But, they do need to be sized for the room they are used in, and natural fresh-air flow calculated. Long-story short - install by following directions. They all have automatic low-oxygen shut-offs and I've never had one trip. We also have CO detectors that have never gone off. Also never had any humidity problems. These heaters require no vent hookup, and no electricitiy. I've got some that are six years old now and never had a single problem yet. They make great no-power backup units or to be used in rooms where you only want certain areas warmed up.
