Electric heating options when on shore power?

So, it looks like the DW and I will be adding a portable, electric heater to our cold-weather list.

Probably the least expensive option is a cheap fan driven ceramic heater sold at all the big box stores ... problem is, fan noise is often quite noticeable, especially late at night when you can otherwise hear a pin drop. :) I have an older Bionaire I got years ago that can barely be heard, in fact it's sitting on the floor beside me right now and I can just tell the fan is running. Look carefully though and you can see this "1500 watt" heater isn't pulling anywhere near that much. We have just the one but if I felt I needed more I'd have bought a second quiet heater rather than just one noisy heater than puts out more heat. I have a couple of those too but use them just in the workshop where noise level isn't an issue.



Point is - quiet fan driven heaters are out there, you just gotta look and listen before you buy. ;)
