We were in our first really cold weather this past weekend. It got around 18 degrees in Kerrville over New Years.
We used two heaters to keep us warm, but had to use the propane heat when it got into the teens.
I would love to know how everyone is managing the amp pull when using other things like coffee pot etc. I know it is hard on the breakers to keep having them pop when you use the electric heaters.

If our electrical connection cannot support more than the three heaters running, then we'll turn one of them off while using the microwave, toaster, coffe pot, electric griddle, etc.
We rarely pop the outside breaker. It's usually the kitchen breaker we pop. It's better than the models a few years ago but there are still too many things on that single circuit. It doesn't take long to figure out what you cannot do. Moving a heater onto a different circuit can help.
