Does a portable heater cost more than the central heat in an apartment?
Just wondering, since winter is approaching, even down here in the south.
I live in a 2 BR apartment which I share with a friend. We were both trying to cut some expenses, therefore we were wondering which costs more, a portable stand heater or the central heat which will heat the whole apartment.
One is based on electricity, the other on natural gas, respectively, right?
How much do those portable heaters cost on average (electricity)?
Thanks in advance.
$28-$240 for a portable heater and the fuel between the two cost about the same now a days, but since the portable heater only heats specific places where you place it you will likely pay less electricity than natural gas.
That being said, the two sources heat differently. The portable heater radiates heat and makes objects warmer, not necessarily the air. Thus when you are sleeping the air your breathe may be a bit chilly causing illness, time off of work, doctor bills, etc. which all need to be accounted for when figuring out the balance sheet. I am not even going to talk about the fire risk that is often associated with these portable heaters too. I suggest you stick with the gas central heat, and insulate the windows to help keep the warm air from escaping.
