But, it was 18 degrees that day. I, at least, wanted to keep the bedroom warm.

I don't think they make them any bigger than 1,500 in 120V. After that they go to 240V.

They're energy hogs any way you look at them. I get a kick out of people around here that buy the Black Hat version which is nothing but a 1,500 electric heater in a fancy plywood box, then tell me how much money they're saving. With a 95+ Pulse NG furnace sitting idle in their basement.

One of those electrics are going to cost you app $4 per day @ $.11 per KW. I figure it cost me $2.60 per day to run my 92+ NG furnace last month, and it kept the whole house plenty warm.
