Back up heating question

[SSSSnakes]

Kerosene heaters and some propane gas heater do not need electric to work. We have 2 gas fire places that can heat our entire house to 80 degrees. It is common for our electric to go out for days in a bad snow storm.

Good point. If using any kind of gas or kero, remember to also get a good carbon monoxide detector as well. Same goes for a gas or diesel generator - always run the generator outside, and keep CO detectors inside.
