Electric heaters
Does anyone know of a electric heater with more than 1500 watts?

Hi,
The "cheap heat" system is, in my opinion, the worst possible choice, particularly if you need redundancy.
If the power goes off, it doesn't "fail over" to the propane furnace.
It can not be run in series with the propane furnace, so it can not be used to reduce the heating bill from propane.
It can not be run safely on a 15 amp circuit which eliminates using it at most private homes.
If you want heat through the duct work, replace the return air grill with twin window fans.
The 120 volt version can be replaced by a heat strip in the roof air. Cost is about $54.

I hope though a bit pricey, this will solve my need and be worry free.
The biggest plus is that it provides heat through the duct work, keeping the basement heated and pipes heated.
