So what situations would you find yourself in where you'd need immediate warmth to be provided and why does this kind of handy little unit beat out the alternatives?
When You Need To Get Warm Fast
There are lots of situations that you can find yourself in where you'd need to feel some welcome warmth as fast as possible, so let's explore some of these here.
- In remote mountain cabins, you may arrive on a freezing cold day and need to get the place warmed up as soon as possible.
- When camping, there's nothing as uninviting and miserable as a cold, damp tent to return to when you've been out hiking in the pouring rain on a cold day!
- In a garage or workshop when you need to do some work but don't want to do it in the freezing cold.
- When the power goes out and you come home to a cold, dark house in the middle of winter.
Let's expand on these points some:
Remote Cabins
A cold cabin is a far cry from the cozy place you have in mind when you are looking forward to spending some time up there. In the time it takes you to build a nice log fire in the fireplace, you can have the whole cabin feeling warm if you have a portable propane fueled heater to get the mercury rising in the thermometer inside.
Otherwise you'll be feeling pretty cold and miserable waiting for the log fire to get going and I'm sure you'll know how long that can take! A small portable propane heating unit can provide you with that all-important instant heat source to make you feel comfortable right from the get go.
Tents and Camping
A cold damp tent is a "yuk" place to come back to when it's been raining and it's cold. You can easily transform that damp, cold space into a warm and dry haven with one of these amazing and compact economical heating units.
The same can be said of camping trailers that can still get pretty cold inside without any kind of heating. Don't be caught in the cold and wet by ensuring you have a small portable heater powered by a light, portable propane canister (and maybe a spare or two) stashed in the trailer's storage area.
Garage or Workshop
It can be a tough time trying to do some work on your car in a freezing cold garage or do some repair work or enjoy a hobby in your unheated workshop in winter. But it's an easy thing to remedy that particular situation fast by having one of these useful yet powerful little heaters at the ready.
As soon as you walk into your garage or workshop, just fire up the unit and enjoy instant heat being pumped out fast so you can get on with whatever job you need to do. A propane garage heater is definitely the way to go when you need warm hands to start turning spanners or sockets in an engine bay!
Power Outs
When the power grid goes down in the dead of winter, a lengthy power out can be devastating as the inside temperature plummets as your electricity supply no longer runs your heating system. Don't forget even natural gas heating systems rely on electricity to control the flow and run the boiler!
In these situations, you can maintain a comfortable temperature in a individual room with a portable heater powered by a propane canister. You can keep a stock of these in your garage or backyard storage space for just such emergencies.
For elderly people, this solution can not only be a means of maintaining comfort, it can save lives during the occasional extended power outs that happen from time to time. And with the frequency of these power outs happening more often these days, it pays to be prepared!
Providing Immediate Warmth
One area that propane fired portable heating units really come into their own is in providing instant heat the second they are switched on and fired up. This is a really important benefit that most other types of heater are unable to provide.
The closest you'll get is a portable kerosene or paraffin heater, but they have the disadvantage of being smelly and they still take a short while before the heat starts to radiate out of them in any usable amount. For truly instant heat that is pumped out the second the unit is switched on, portable propane heaters really have no viable rival.
While there are many different ways of keeping warm when the weather turns cold, the most effective means of providing instant heat in a portable unit is a heater powered by propane. Its low cost, wide availability and portability makes this one of the best solutions you're going to find anywhere!
