electric fireplaces at home depot image
Augustmoon
I have electric baseboard heat and it works fine but would like an extra source of heat that is also efficient. I wanted to put in gas logs but don't know about the safety of closing off the chimney even with ventless logs since there is no damper. Any suggestions?

Last year I bought a Natural Gas Flu-less heater.It heats 700 sq. ft. and costs about $25.00 a month in North Carolina where the winters arent too cold.
I bought it at Home Depot for $219.00 the name is "RiteTemp"
You can Email me for other information. 10/1

I'll start off with a couple good ideas that may actually help you. If I start rambling about cavemen and sled dogs, you'll know to stop reading.
A fireplace if you have one will warm up parts of the house. You may be able to rent a generator or buy one at WalMart, Home Depot, Sears, etc. that will be big enough to power the electrical systems of a gas furnace. or a least a couple small electric space or radiant heaters. Styrofoam insulation boards may help slow the loss of heat from the tank. Don't use towels or blankets for insulation because they can dip in the tank and start a siphon on to the floor. Battery operated air pumps actually cool down the tank rapidly by forcing cold room air into the tank and creating evaporative cooling at the surface.
If cavemen had kept tropical fish, I imagine they would have had to heat up rocks in their bonfires in front of the cave entrance and then set a few hot rocks under their aquariums. In the 1850's aquariums were made with cast iron bottoms so that the owner could set a Bunsen burner or a few candles under the aquarium to keep it warm. That would be a huge mistake with a glass or acrylic aquarium. And forget your sled dogs helping you out. You read "To Build A Fire" didn't you?
