I have a room I added on 10 yrs ago. It's main heating source is a GE PTAC Heatpump. At roughly 28 degrees, it switch's from HP to Electric Resistance heat. I also have a Jotul' stand alone propane stove in this room. It is supposedly 80% efficient, get's combustion air from out doors.
It is similar to this: Jøtul GF 200 DV IPI Lillehammer - Stoves - Products | Jøtul
I paid $1.75 per gal to fill my tank.
Question being, which is cheaper to operate below 28 degrees?
The stove has variable heat output, is it best to run it at the lowest heat output that will maintain room temp? This stove is controlled by a wall thermostat.
Thanks.
