We already own a monitor heater fit for a 2400 sq foot house as back up heat, fueled by propane. We bought the house four years ago and at the time there weren't any appliances at all, so the current ones are still fairly new and in good condition (stainless steel frig., gas oven, whirlpool washer, dryer), not need to buy new.
