I have bought a $10 portable heater for the basement and it would always blow a fuse in my living room. I will note that I am concerned that a heater will blow a fuse again. I am also cautious that something will catch on fire or something. I just want one that is safe, I can leave on all night, and that it will last for a long time. If someone can tell me what kinds to look for or the brand to look for that would be awsome.

I took out a propane water heater and I have a gas water heater. I need to convert the new gas water heater to the existing propane.

L Mae asked:


We have no other source of heat besides 2 electric wall heaters and one gas space heater. Is it safe to leave the wall heaters on when I am at work during the day?
These wall heaters are incredibly old, but my dog stays home alone during the day and she has to stay warm somehow.
