Whats the difference in this heater and the "Non-Garge" one? http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Heater-Natur...

Only thing I see is the garage one has a metal deflector instead of a glass one. That way if it got hit it wouldn't break

I am currently running two Gen-4 heaters in my house (on two separate levels). I just compared my electric bill from Nov 2012 and it is approximately $179 more for the month than last year. The usage graph was shown to be significantly higher, and I have not identified anything else that we have done differently. That said, the heaters work well and we are very happy with them. The amount of fuel that we have used for the main heating system (coal) is substantially lower and at least offsets the higher cost for the use of the heaters. it is also cleaner than coal and since the furnace is not running as much there is also less work with ash removal, etc. All said, we are more than satisfied with the purchase and will happily continue to use the heaters.

I personally didn't notice my electric being any more expensive, but everyone's usage is different. If you run it quite a bit I would expect to see maybe a few dollars extra a month. This is a great heater I would highly recommend it.

I am sorry, that question is way over my head. I can tell you that we like our first New Age Heater so much that we ordered another one.. We should have it in 2 more days.

I think it is a trade-off... Our main gas furnace does not come on as much, but the room the little heater is in is much warmer than it is using the gas furnace alone. In the end I think the electric bill goes up a little and the natural gas bill goes down a little. This being said, I liked this heater so much though, that I bought another for a different place in my cold Michigan house.

I'm not an electrician, and I have been using my new heater and have used the old worn out one only with the GFCI, no problems ever.

Hello. I wanted to start by noting the heater I received is not the one in the picture. It is shorter and thicker, and only has one suction cup at the top.That said, I bought this one because it was the lowest wattage I could find for my 1 gallon tank. The recommendations I found said 7 watts for 1.5 gallons and up, 5 watts for 1 gallon and up. I have not seen any for smaller tanks than that.

They sell them both ways the natural gas version is "Takagi T-K4-IN-NG Indoor Tankless Water Heater, Natural Gas" I would just buy the NG one. However if you already have it I'm sure you could get the correct orifice from the Mfg.

We have not heard that advice. I will say that our heater doesn't do the job of our previous one which we had for several years. We have had the current heater for six years and have never done anything with it since it was installed.

The XLN is a low emission heater it's supposed to be better for the environment. The one I have works extremely well. I can leave it on for hours and the heat never fluctuates. I will never own another tank heater.

"&gt;&gt; ATTENTION!!! 3" or 4" PVC venting can only be used on condensing heaters (PVC adapter is built-in). - See more at: http://www.noritz.com/residential-products/nrc111dv/#sthash.QEx6SGiw.dpuf" http://www.noritz.com/residential-products/nrc111dv/ That's a quote from Noritz. Using common pvc for the vent makes the total cost HUNDREDS of dollars less than having to use stainless steel vent, or the proprietary venting of another brand. FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS! The Laws of Physics don't abate for the 'it ought to' crowd. PVC can ONLY be used on CONDENSING heaters. IT WILL MELT, OR WORSE, IF INSTALLED ON NON-CONDENSING HEATERS! Follow the instructions for the specific model you buy, no matter which one you choose.

Started using heater 3 weeks ago; after checking my electric usage online, it seems there is minimal change to my electric consumption within the last month. I've used it continuously throughout the night during sleep and while at home. There is a Economical setting that I use during the day. I haven't gotten my bill yet but I believe it does not make a substantial increase in the electric bill, which makes me very happy.

Loren,Good morning. The picture is a generic one and shows the heater with an optional thermostat. If you desire said thermostat, please order the DTKSP (DTK-SP).Please let us know if you have any additional questions or if we can assist you further.Thanks,Jeff CousinsOperations Manager

As near as I can tell, the biggest difference is the model number. Lasko has been making this heater in the same basic design for at least 10 years. The 5919 and 5905 have basically the same geometry and rating. Both have two "power" settings and their sizes are the same. The differences appear, to me, to be only cosmetic. I will say that my 5905 models have a more powerful fan than the model I first bought 10 years or so ago...a very welcome upgrade.

Mr. Heater seems to keep improving these units. I just bought mine in September of this year, and it was manufactured in May of this year (2013). I bought it at a local big box store.The fan on this unit seems pretty quiet. Certainly not noisy as others have reported in the past. You will hear the fan, but is smooth sounding an not obtrusive. My guess is that they've improved the fan quality in these current units.

NOT exactly..the picture shows just the copper wire..there is actually another wire that runs along side it AND another one farther down. ALSO ours came with some sort of stabilizing gizmo (metal bracket) that seems to keep the heater more stable on the tank. Ummm...it makes it even more difficult for me (long fingernails etc) to change out the tanks. It's still fairly simple looking compared to two others we have purchased in the past 6 months (one was returned to store because we had it less than 2 months..thermocouple(?) went bad). Mine is definitely not as simple looking as what I was expecting.
