An electric heater is a good idea if only one room is heated and the rest of the house can be left cold. However, unattended space heaters cause many home fires. So, I suggest that if you use a space heater you stay with it at all times. Another suggestion is to close off the heat vents to all unused rooms in your house to save on heating costs. The cost per therm for electric heat is much higher than heat from gas or oil, but if you are turning up the heat in the whole house because one or two rooms are chilly, then space heaters can save you money. Similarly, if one or two people in your household are more sensitive to cold than the others, using space heaters in their bedrooms may be the solution you're looking for.
A space heater uses energy, so you would not save on the bill. But if you install one and then don't use it, you are saving. It's almost worth installing it and leaving it switched off for the saving you make (not quite).
Not usually. The low wattage units take more time to heat a room that do units that are sized to the rooms square foot area. In some cases the space heater will not keep up with the heat loss of the room and the unit will never shut off. This will keep the electric meter turning and costing you more money in the long run.
Not much actually,a Mobile Home water Heater has the water connections going into the side where as a Regular Water Heater has the connections at the top. So if you have enough room above a mobile home water heater you can install a regular water heater no problem.However a lot of mobile homes do not have room above the water heater so your forced to use a Mobile Home water heater instead. Which usually costs about a hundred more than a regular one.
Answergas heater is cheaper by far !!!!!!AnswerThis is entirely dependent on the cost of energy in your area.AnswerTalking from experience, we installed a Titan Tankless N180 electric water heater 8 months ago and it uses approx. 300kw of power with an approximate cost of $50 per month. We have 5 members in the family, and live in Southern California. My best estimate from a comparative analysis on the gas savings is we're only saving between $10 to $15 per month. Electric water heater seems to make sense for vacation homes or where gas is not available.
Electric power was used in 1878 in a house called Cragside in England.
It is because it is cleaner in burning and does not give a lot of carbon dioxide.
Most used expressions of awe and praise; some were surprised that it actually worked; and many said nothing.
In most homes water is made hot by an electric or gas water heater. The electic element or gas flame comes on and heats the water to the required temperature , usually around 135 f in most heaters. The heater then shuts off until it's activated again by a thermostat indicating that the water temperature has dropped.

The Central Plains is an area and didn't build homes. Ask about what people did.

:-) because of the heating andand electric in your homes!
Most new homes do not come with a remote thermostat. If a new home has a remote thermostat it is because the owner has requested it when the house was built and is not a fad.
With a heater and insulation
3/4 in. -- but alot of older homes only have 1/2 in. pipe -- so all you can do is use what size you have will be fine

people used to use coal fires, and gas and electric fires have been round for years and years, but coal fires was the prefered method
We use electric energy all the time, for example in our homes.
