Heating with propane heaters will add a lot of humidity to the already damp and cold air in your house. That's why dry wallers don't use propane heaters. Better with electric heaters but it will probably be pricey unless electric rates where you are happen to be dirt cheap.

And since you do not have permanent power, electric heaters will not be much use. As mentioned propane heaters will drop a boatload of moisture in and in my opinion not do anything to make the conditions better (especially 3 weeks). I also would NOT leave them unattended even for a couple of hours let alone overnight.

No to propane heaters for reasons mentioned above. We used two propane heaters for our first winter living in our house that was been re-built/added on to. Due to the moisture, several studs needed replacing (they looked like hockey sticks). We did roast marshmallows on the heaters on Xmas day which the kids liked -LOL.

Thank you for the feedback. Sounds like we are stuck waiting.

What about a diesel heater? We used a couple of them when we needed to dry out our house to put the wood in a couple years ago. You'd need a generator as the ignition and blower are electric.

We ran extension cords from our temp power poll. We had our electrician put a pig tail on our temp power so we could use the beefier "balony cords" and ran 3 temp heaters off of those and 3 dehumidifiers of of heavy gauged extension cords 24 hours a day for at least 2 months. I work for a commercial GC so was able to borrow all of that stuff but you can certainly rent it as well. Best of luck. I know delays can be frustrating.

So there was enough power in the temp set up to do that? Thank you so much NWHobart. I called this morning and had a persuasive conversation with Potelco. They may be able to squeeze us in next Thursday!!! If not, I may do the rental set up you suggested. I didn't think the temp power could run them but that seems to not be the case.

Yep, we absolutely had enough power to run all of that, and more. Hope Potelco show up for you.

Thanks!
