im curious, does anyone here run on natural gas furnaces? it may be a west thing, but if the power is out usually the gas is still flowing. i also will be using a Honeywell HZ-519 for a secondary heat source thats digitally controlled so that the house doesnt have to be the same temp as the frog rooms.

Most Gas furnaces still rely on a electric powered fan to operate a central forced air heating system. And many modern thermostats are power operated and digital (though some do have batteries mostly that's so they don't loose the time and programs.)

We once had no power for Three Days - it's was horrible...

Also I like these type of indoor heaters, A little safe than many other types.

Oil filled radiators are definitely some of the safest space heaters on the market. And while less important to PDF peeps on this forum with full to mostly closed terrariums, for most of friends in the crested gecko community i recommend this because with out an exposed heating element, it doesnt bake off the humidity in the air as bad as other heaters.
