- Does the Ashley DVAG17L need electricity?
- No. It is a direct-vent propane heater with no fan or blower, so it runs during a power outage. Heat moves by natural convection instead of forced air.
- What size room will 17,000 BTU heat?
- Roughly 400 to 700 square feet in a well-insulated room, less in a drafty or poorly insulated space. Ceiling height and window area change the figure.
- Can I install it myself?
- It needs a hole through an exterior wall and a matching direct-vent kit, plus a propane connection. Many buyers hire a qualified installer, and local codes may require it.
- Is $519.48 a good price?
- It is the best new price found as of November 7, 2026, but it sits near the top of the recent range across the three stores listing it. Waiting for a seasonal markdown is reasonable.
- What comes in the box?
- The heater itself. Venting, wall thimble and gas line parts are usually sold separately, so check what the vent kit includes before buying.
- Does it have a thermostat or timer?
- No timer. Output is set with the heater's controls, and there is no programmable schedule.
