Portable Gas Heaters

raddy59

With spiralling gas costs I am looking at getting a portable gas heater - eg Super Ser. Has anybody any experience with theses with regards to cost and are there any downsides (or upsides) I should be aware of.

I would of thought these would be no cheaper than electric?. Down side smell and condensation.

We use one in the winter,I like them them because they give instant heat.We turn the heating off a couple of hours early and then use the gas fire in the lounge,it saves heating the rest of the house.

We use a gas heater for an hour or so before we go to work as it saves having the heating on. Our heating is oil which is very expensive!
Its great as a boost until the log burner warms up the living room when we get home in the winter.
I agree about the condensation problem but its only bad if you live in a nice well insulated house which we don't:D
You have to plan ahead for gas as the Super Ser size is the most popular and (in our area) the local garage which is the only nearby supplier, sometimes is slow getting deliveries in.
Having said that, we wouldn't be without it.
