    Are you looking for a portable heating unit or permanently install unit that is hard wired. Any unit that you get will have to have 240 volts to operate efficiently.

    If you have to run a 240 line I would suggest a permanently installed unit.

    For that limited amount of time, I would get a small non vented gas fireplace or blue flame wall heater and run it on a 100# LP gas cylinder. If you lose power, you will still have heat!

    Would likely be cheaper too. Electric most places (if not all) is the most expensive heating option.
