NO POWER IS NO PROBLEM with these clean, efficient propane models;

these do not generally require ventilation unless your house is
really tight. It’s not carbon monoxide that’s a problem, but the
flame using up all the oxygen in your cabin. Call or

you have any questions.
Stocking Stuffer Ideas
Kill
A Watt Meter: The Electricity Detector and Monitor can reduce
your monthly electric bill and help you save a lot of money. You can
now be a ’detective’ and ascertain what machines are actually worth
keeping plugged in. Simply plug in the Kill A Watt meter, connect
your appliances to it and Kill a Watt will assess how efficient they
really are, showing you the watt-hours used.
Kill a Watt with large LCD display will count consumption by the
kilowatt-hour, same as your local utility. With the help of Kill a
Watt you can figure out your electrical expenses by the day, week,
month or year on a given device. Kill a Watt can check the quality
of your power by monitoring Voltage, Line Frequency, and Power
Factor.
Now you'll know if it is time for a new refrigerator or if that old
air conditioner is saving you money—compared to a new one—or not.
