Since my tools are rusty enough, I'm thinking of using electric heaters in the
garage. Can someone confirm my math here?
Kerosene is about 135,000 BTU per gallon. Running a 45,000 BTU heater for 3
hours = $4 or so.
Running a 45000 BTU electric heater uses 13Kw, for 3 hours at my 12 cents/Kw =
$4.68.
So neglecting infrastructure costs, it'd be about even....right?
