Just seems like a big waste of heat. We have a 4 season unit but it is going down to single digits tonight, have heat tape/insulation on the hose. Shop light in the area with the tanks. Fridge vent has top two vents blocked of, ice maker line unhooked.


Yep furnaces, fire places and any heating source that allows half the heat to go up a flue and escape is a energy waster..
