Huge benefit of a diesel Aquahot is the low fuel burn compared to LP
Used one of Ducks heaters to warm up the airplane engine in extreme cold
Before all the electric meters in the camp grounds we used a digital electric front and rear plus the fireplace
Now the diesel is cheaper until it hits around 5 bucks per gallon and depending on KW cost also
I use an Excel spread sheet with btu cost per unit and with efficiency calculations to determine the optimal fuel use and switch points for the shop and houses
Energy cost is certainly climbing fast
Wood blocks and cord wood are up 30% or more as is our natural gas and propane
Most electric heater issues are due to long term high usage, poor wiring and a few extension cords
Check the plug temperature after an hour
