I need gas heat in my basement I need it to be on a thermostat but will keep the heat slightly below room temperature until I go down to be there a while. I also need the heat to work when we have no power. That puts me with a set of gas logs or some type of heater with a fan that will also heat without the fan running. Most "experts" say that I don't want to use unvented heat on a thermostat to heat with. I am also told that gas logs will not hold up on a thermostat, which comes on, on its own. I'm told that vented heat is safer but not as efficient as unvented. I mainly want a safe situation that is reliable, especially when the power is off.

Thanks for your comments
