It doesn’t matter yet, because you are in a mild climate. But do not completely rely on box heaters in winter where it is chilly, or your basement tanks and plumbing will freeze. OTH they are great for heating the bedroom while the rest of the cabin is cooler. They are a fire hazard, be wary of leaving them running when you are away. Speaking of which, have you checked your extinguishers? You might want to add a couple of more and keep the old ones as backups if they are older than ten years. It really helps if you write the purchase date on the top of the bottles.
These are wonderful, super light weight, run for 50 seconds, and never expire, but they are expensive compared to a Walmart throw away. Plus they do not leave a huge area of
corrosive dry powder to clean up afterwards. I bought two last year, one for my Oliver, and the other for my truck glove box. I plan to buy more. If you want a longer run time, they do have a bigger one.
