The device is only 10 kW, which is not enough to heat an entire house. It sounds like a stand-alone device, like a large baseboard electric room heater, or a kerosene heater. A 240 V 5 kW baseboard heater costs $250, so that's right at the same price point. 12 kW kerosene heaters cost $150 to $250. A small gas furnace designed for central heating, with remote thermostatic controls and whatnot costs $800 to $1000. - Jed
