My house is a 1,000sq ft. ranch. With the price of natural gas was wondering if any of you have used this heater. I live in Cedar Rapids Iowa where it will get cold(also floods here also). I thought if I got one of these I could cut back on natural gas heat. I don't expect it to heat the whole house. Also thinking it would help the very dry skin situation. We run a humidifier but that is little help. Thanks!
