I'd think seriously about not using an unvented propane heater in a basement shop, fire hazard for one and it burns oxygen and puts out carbon monoxide. It's one thing to use one in a garage where the door can stay cracked open to get rid of the CO, it's something else entirely in a basement where the CO is trapped. The propane too is heavier than air, any leaks could be a really bad thing with a heater/water heater that runs on gas.Bill H.
Good points indeed: I forgot to mention I my last post that I have a dual propane/carbon monoxide detector plugged in permanently in the garage. It tips off every time I start the snow thrower or car with the doors open but has never alarmed with the propane heater. A heater operating correctly with have an almost entirely blue flame with just flecks of yellow. But as previously noted I only run it for 10-15 minutes max and do not start work until the temperature is up to 15C. The oil-filled electric heater takes it from there.
