I want to heat a room for my parrot this winter and am thinking about buying an electric oil heater instead of getting a regular plug in space heater with a fan that blows. Which is more cost effective the electric plug in oil heater or the regular space heater with a fan.

Heater: Not staying running problem?

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 13:21:06 -0700

Older model Mr. Heater, MH50K, replaced dry rotted hoses and had to play with adjustment to get to burn but it runs for 30 seconds and then stops. All I have to do is power off and back on and it will run another 30 seconds. Doesn't seem to be the limit switch because I can unplug it and it will still run the 30 seconds. I don't see any other safeties for this. Any ideas?
