Right that. These things should be considered only as a provisional solution for limited time, in times of emergency, or really no other solution available. Over longer time, the costs for operating them are beyond reason and discussion. We once had one of these running in our old big appartement in Berlin, in a room with no regular heating. We ran it only for one winter. When we got the electricity bill for the year, we decided to never use that damn thing again, but reduce the using of that room in the cold season. These things, together with glowing radiators, are easily the most expensive way to heat your flat.
Get your regular installation repaired/replaced, Neal. In the longer run, it is cheaper. Plan the 2010 Subsim meeting taking place in Houston, and you already have saved money for flight tickets and hotel room, and probably that way already have won most of the money a new furnace would cost.
