Earl Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Is there a place Lakeside that sells gas space heaters on casters so that you can easily roll it from room to room? If so, where, and if you know the price or phone number for the store that would be useful as well. Muchas gracias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
court0503 Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 The lighting store next to sunrise restaurant. Bought one a week ago..and I love it (probably me but I can’t get the auto start to work so I use a lighter.).3200p + 900p for the small propane tank. Filled the tank at the gas place across from El Torito 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Hit the red button several times while holding down the black button. Continue to hold down the black button for a moment once it lights. It should work especially on a new heater. Ours are over ten years old and light fine.

tomgates Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Should be careful burning propane indoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 mostly butane at this altitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbird Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 How many hours do the tanks burn and what does it cost to fill them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 It is about $200 to refill the small 5 gal tank. Across from El Torito. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 1 hour ago, HarryB said: mostly butane at this altitude. Probably so, but whether propane or butane one still needs to make sure that the house/room has some ventilation. Much less of a problem IF the heater is catalytic (used inside RVs all the time).... as they don't create carbon monoxide.... but they DO consume some oxygen so there needs to be adequate ventilation.

gringal Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 My workroom is in the center of the house with no direct ventilation to the outside. It has a large skylight, so it gets really cold. The radiator-style electric heater wasn't doing the job, so I bought a gas heater. It stunk, and in order to get enough ventilation I would have had to get it from the windows in the adjacent living room, at which time the original purpose of getting warm wasn't working. I sold it . YMMV.😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dichosalocura Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 If you are unable to find one locally, go to Home Depot in Guadalajara, they will have them there. Ours has a gas tank, like for a gas grill, that just sits in the back and you can just wheel it from room to room. On average, two tanks or so, usually gets us through the winter.

La Aurora Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 The ones we have bought have dual automatic shutdown if oxygen gets to low or CO2 is too high.We have had no problem with ours and we put clear plastic over all our windows to keep drafts out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
