My previous recommendation on portable kerosene heaters should be based on emergency-only use during power outages. Kerosene prices don't compete with electricity today.
Here's another fan of kerosene convection heaters that just wrote today with exhaustive observations and comments.
BTW: If you plan to replace the refrigerator, check the replacement for efficiency. Several years ago,
Consumer Reports determined that side-by-side refrigerators weren't as efficient as "freezer-above" refrigerators.
(And that
icemakers were the most frequent service-call item in refrigerators—
both of which came with my most recent house purchase! 
)
