BTW...are electric heaters safe to run while asleep?
pianotuna:
Is the reason to change the 120V outlet where a space may be used to replace with a house grade or better quality one?
There's no reason not to run the propane furnace when sleeping.... I do it all the time when I'm dry camped.
Yes, electric heaters are safe to run, any time. If they weren't safe to use, they wouldn't be sold.
If you have pets or children, then they may not be the best source of heat at night, because a blanket could fall on them, a pet or child could knock them off a counter, etc.
Good heaters have a tip-over shut off mechanism.
I installed a dedicate electrical outlet specifically for plugging a heater into.
