THEN, you can compare the cost and decide which is cheaper. There is a nice comparison formula floating around that allows you to input costs for electric and propane, then determine which is cheaper to use.

Using an electric heater set up in the living room may not route any heat to the tanks and lines, which could cause a freeze problem.
