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
