Alpha Heater Helps You Save Money While Staying Cozy
As the pandemic re-surged this Fall, we began discovering socially distanced outdoor get-togethers getting just a little chilly. So I purchased a Mr. Heater "Big Buddy" portable propane heater to assist lengthen the season. Gas or Electric Heat: Propane heaters are characterized by their heat output in BTUs; electric heaters are sometimes characterized by their energy consumption in Watts. You'll be able to convert electric power consumption to BTUs by multiplying it by 3.41. So a 1500W heater (about as large as you can placed on a typical circuit in your home) will generate the equal of 5115 BTUs. For comparison, the large Buddy Alpha Heater info has 3 output settings: 4000, 9000, and 18000 BTU. A typical propane patio heater generates 48000 BTU or more. Bottom line: propane heaters can generate much more heat than electric heaters. An electric heater might be insufficient for out of doors heating. 0.22/hour to run. Exchanging an empty 20lb propane tank for a crammed one prices about $20.
