I'm not certain which units you are comparing but when I purchased the Mr. Heater 5639 I found that the unit was more conplete,internal blower etc, and eaiser to install. I am very happy with my unit. I followed the included instructions and passed City inspection with no issues.

Very nicely functioning heater for the price. But it is open flame, so be mindful of building codes regarding storing flammible substances in the same area.

The heater I bought runs on naturel gas not propane. Propane is hotter furl and requires a heater that is either made for propane or is listes as either which normally requires that an orfice be added or the burner has an adjustment. If the unit says natural gas or you are looking at the same as I bought it will not run on propane.

Hi this model is a floor unit while the g73 is a wall or ceiling mounted unit. Also it has the design of the Dayton brand heaters. Lastly the g73 is rated at 5000 watts peak usage while the g56 is 5600 watts. G56 puts off slightly more heat as far as I can tell. Price of the g73 is substantially more than the g56 due to this I went with the g56 since you can almost buy 2 for the price of 1 g73

My gas range has burners with 22,000 and 15,000 BTUs. On the 15,000 unit, the time to steam is about 3 or 4 minutes. On the 22,000 unit, the time is less. Of course, the flame adjustment also makes a difference on both.

Yes, mine is a permanent install. It is far away from the natural gas supply pipes. No, it doesn't have to be. I have other heaters, similar to this one, that are quite close to the gas supply.

Sorry Jerry. The heater is ventless. I bought 2 of these to heat my very old home that has 12' ceilings (about 1200 sf). It kept us fairly comfortable all winter here in central GA. My natural gas bill never ran more than 120 in any month, and we also have a gas stove. My wife and I are home most of the time. We never keep the heater in our bedroom on at night, but leave the one in the kitchen on a low setting at night. These little heater give off a lot of heat. A thermostat control on them would have been a small improvement, but to save money, I did not order mine with thermostats. Hope this helps. Sorry Jerry. The heater is ventless.

The Particular unit I am using is Model RL94i (REU-VC2837FFUD-US) for use with Natural Gas ONLY.This translates on the manuals to RL94i_VC2837FFUD-US. I hope this helps you.

There are two versions of this grill- one for natural gas, and one for propane. Both are available on Amazon. Make sure you order the right one!

The NG model is for natural gas. I had this professionally installed. One day I come home to the fire department in my bathroom. They took the unit off the wall where it was burning a hole through the back. Could not get a refund -- they sent me a refurbished model. No way I would install this brand after nearly losing my house.

the heater is pre-set at factory for propane...did you change from propane to natural gas as the instructions #2 ( Quick Guide say)?

You need to find the max btu rating (i.e. 250,000btu) for the cooktop, and then compare it with the rating for this regulator, which is 140,000 btu. Word of advice: if you need to ask these questions, you might be better letting a professional size and install your system. Gas is nothing to play with, and an improperly sized regulator could mean big problems.

I wish I knew, I don't know. Check the BTUs but the one I bought works great. Nice and warm in the in between seasons. For everyday use the home version is fine. Possibly the grade of metal is better?

Most systems must be installed by a licensed contractor and have a permit to collect the rebates. This insures that the inspector has verified that the system was installed correctly. If you must have a 14 SEER, then getting a 15 SEER would be best to make sure that you at least meet the standards. 16 SEER will meet those standards, and save even more energy, yet is much more expensive. Sometimes a 14 SEER system will not meet the 14 SEER rating due to smaller air ducts, or other problems. Also how many square feet are you trying to heat and cool? What state are you in? This will help verify if the system is sized properly. Also do you plan on installing back up heater? If so what size? I disconnected my 20 KW electric heater when installing my 4 ton heat pump. For back up heat, I will use one section of the 20 KW, and disconnected 1/2 of that, giving me a primary 5 KW electric heat back up. Then have a 10 minute time delay, so that the other 10 KW heater contactor will energize to provide another 34,000 Btu's of heat when it is calling for heat more than 10 minutes. I could have wired the 5 KW heater to run at the same time as the heat pump is in defrost, however I decided I would rather have 5-7 minutes of cold air and save the energy. My 4 ton heat pump makes about 48,000 BtuH of heating, at 55F outside air temp, then will defrost for about 2-3 minutes per hour (at 55F outside air temp). During defrost, it reverses to cooling cycle, and will blow out cold air (if it is 70F inside the home, it will blow out 50F air for a few minutes). By running a 5 KW electric heater ($0.50 to $0.75 per hour - depending on local electric costs) this can warm the air to about 65F while in defrost. I am just cheap and want to save the money! If my family complains to much, I might have to run the 5 KW heater during defrost.

V.Alden--I don't know, but I too am interested in efficiency per kwh. No one seems to address that issue in the reviews. I'm looking for a safe and efficient electric heater for my daughter's bedroom in her first apartment. I'm looking at this ceramic heater because it has good reviews and lots of them, and ceramic is supposed to be efficient. I like quartz heaters too. I'm trying to figure out which is best to keep the electric bill lower.
