I want to buy a replacement space heater for my mobile home, the propane wall heater is pretty old so I would like something more efficient. I bought a Mr.Heater brand “big buddy” heater for my workshop and was impressed by how well the ceramic radiant design worked. When I went to purchase a similar heater with larger capacity I found it is “Not for sale in California”. However the other 49 states allow these same heaters.
Searching the net the only thing I can find is to get approved in California the manufacturer pays for testing. Both heaters are CSA/AGA certified, might even be CE certified.
Both heaters could be classified as portable since the larger one is available free standing not wall mounted. I could go with one of the direct vent heaters but I have no place to install it with enough wall space and clearance w/o completely turning the room or rooms around. A replacement for the wall heater seems to be about 10 times the price.
Suggestions, the following are links to all three heaters.
