    NO. Some use heating oil . Some interestingly enough utilize steam / hot water heat .

    On a serious note. I had an electrician set ours up. The only thing i'm sure of when it comes to electricity is............... DO NOT STICK METAL OBJECTS IN THE OUTLETS, EVER!

    I could have been more clear. I guess I was asking aren't all forced air furnaces gas that aren't obviously not gas. I know that sounds stupid. In our neck of the woods we mostly have gas, then probably boilers, then pellet stoves/wood burning, then coal, then oil is my guess. Scott should bet in here soon to key me know what's up.

    You can suspend them from the ceiling. The guy that works for me sells and installs them.

    What kind of usage do those heaters go through? Like how many gallons per hour of heating? For the waste oil I mean.

    It all depends on the btu(amount of heat it can produce).

    What are you trying to heat?
