Hi, I put a very big electric 220v heater in my basement next to the on demand water heater so the pipes wouldn't freeze. It's a very old building and the water heater is right next to the exterior wall.
The main floor of the building is heated with propane. I'm being told that because the electric heater in the basement is not drawing cold air from outside it will increase propane consumption to heat the main floor. Is there any truth behind this?
