Read more a heat pump as long as your KW/hr rate for Gas is 1/3 the price of KW/hr for electricity. Comes with a timer allowing you to set on/off times for two periods of the day.

Safe, no chance of getting burnt with this. I rate the gas heater as being just as warm, fast, and as cheap to run as the heat pump. I have a heat pump in the upstairs part of the house. I installed one because I did not want another Heat pump compressor mounted outside the house. If a heat pump is not your thing, then this is the next best thing.
