Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hello, Zippy here. Long time member. I need some assistance please. We don't have central heat and air. We still heat with space heaters, the old ceramic stack kind with wires coiling around the stacks. I was asking a young lady about them the other day at Lowe's. She had no clue. Didn't know what I was talking about. (I think I'm becoming ... " dated " ) Anyway, I don't think they make these things anymore, and the parts seem to be drying up too. Our switches seem to need replacing about once every five years. I'm afraid I won't be able to go on with these much longer. The upside to them is that they are all metal, no chemical smells at all. The downside is, I've heard, they use a lot of electricity to heat with. And they are harder and harder to find. I tried a new 110v oil filled heater recently, but we couldn't seem to get it to stop off gassing. It also had a plastic front housing. In fact, all the heaters I examined so far have been partly, or mostly plastic. This is very disturbing ! Has anyone found an appropriate space heater for someone with MCS ? Preferably, it would be a 220v, so it could really do some longterm, workhorse, heating. But ANYTHING would be helpful at this point. TIA, Todd in (chilly and damp) Tenn.
