    Carbon monoxide!

    You cant use radiant heat propane heaters indoors. Only indoor safe catalyst heaters with co detectors and low oxygen shut off sensors.

    Tell that to my grandparents. A radiant heater in the main room, coffee can of water on it for humidity. They can be used, WITH PROPER VENTILATION!!!

    My grandparents used an unvented Dearborne propane heater for years. I lived in a house with an unvented Dearborne propane heater for a couple of years. How is it different from natural gas? Does it emit more carbon monoxide than NG?
    No, the CO comes from Carbon burned in the absence of sufficient combustion oxygen to make CO2. You need roughly 3 molecules of NG to equal the heat and C of one molecule of Propane. Numbers work out the same.

    I read awhile back when we we're building our house about insulation. A insulation company did a pressure test on various homes- new and old. Article said most older homes built is the 40s-70s had a draft rating equivalent of a full size window being left open. Which I found profound. That's a serious draft. The article also said some of the newer homes are being built extremely tight. With maybe a baseball sized hole for a draft.

    I would venture to say, some of these old drafty homes has probably saved some folks lives without them knowing it.

    I can believe it, the 2015 IRC says 3 air changes per hour. In the EU they are down to .5 air changes per hour. I could only imagine the cost to build a new home to .5 air changes per hour. Thats some thick tight walls. But im sure the energy efficiency is phenomenal.

    Indoor safe heaters only. Propane whole home forced air heaters are proper vented but sometimes still do kill whole families if the vents for the burners are obstructed.

    One side effect of those catalytic burners is water put into the air. I removed mine after mold formed on my interior walls because of it.
