Since my tools are rusty enough, I'm thinking of using electric heaters in the garage. Can someone confirm my math here? Kerosene is about 135,000 BTU per gallon. Running a 45,000 BTU heater for 3 ho
Math seems pretty close, although I got $4.75 for electricity; and my marginal electricity rate is a lot higher than $.12/kwh even though the average rate is only a little higher than that. However,
Gotta love that cheap electricity. Out here in the Los Angeles area, So Cal Edison has us on a tiered rate structure and we start at 13 cents/kWh for our "baseline allowance". Apparently the public u
Well if I take a jug to the station I can get it for $3.50, but I was being conservative for my precision, which was an order of magnitude :-) Just didn't think a heater that beefy would be so cheap
Sounds like you've already got a good handle on it. But you might have a look at this document, starting around page 9: http://geoheat.oit.edu/ghp/survival.pdf It calculates the cost of producing a m
