I purchased this product to heat my 24x24 (7'6" ceiling) garage under my house. During the coldest periods where I live (Western Connecticut) the garage gets down to the low 40s.After installing the heater and powering it up, in about 10 minutes the chill is gone from the space. After about an hour the space is very comfortable (about 62 degrees - an increase of about 15 degrees from when it was turned on). By the end of the second hour the space warmed to 68 degrees. The built in thermostat turned down to about 3/4 maximum maintains that temperature.The unit's internal fan is a little bit noisy, but since the unit is intended for a garage/workshop the fan noise is in my opinion not a big deal.The unit is very well made and easy to install. After installing a 220 Volt 20A single circuit receptacle, I hung the unit in the center of the room from the ceiling about 4 feet from the rear wall of the garage. The bracket that came with the unit is...

I have a 24x24 garage with 10 feet ceilings. I did exactly as the last review did, mount it on the ceiling about four feet off the wall. Don't expect this to heat your space quickly. It works quite slowly and you can't really notice the heat, which I think is great. I turned it on at 4am in the morning and the garage temp was 40 degrees. After about 15 minutes, temp was up to 43 degrees. In about an hour it was up to 52 degrees and after 90 minutes it was up to 60 degrees. This unit is quality built and extremely quiet. It lacks the bell and whistle but is very inexpensive compared to other units. It only requires 240 volts and 20 amp breakers, all standard in the home. ( the other heaters require 30 amp breaker which requires more cost). it also come with a cord which save you another $40 over the other models. I highly recommended this unit as it compares well with the 5000 watt units with out all the extra cost. Plus if you want it to heat up a small area in the garage...

Installation was very simply and it does the job of warming up my garage. However......It's only been in use for about 2 months and the built-in thermostat sticks so the heater doesn't shut off at it's preset temperature!!! It just stays on full heat!!! This could be a hazard!Instead of going through the headache of sending it back for warranty service, I'm just going to buy a programmable thermostat rated for this unit and controlling it that way.I would not buy this product again due to the thermostat problem. The built-in thermostat is very cheaply made aparently. Quality should be paramount due to the type of unit that it's in. I should have looked for a unit made in the USA. This unit is, like most everything else, made in CHINA.*************************I've installed a programmable thermostat and it's working great, since it's not being controlled by it's built-in thermostat.

Questions & Answers

what is cheaper to run? an electric garage heater or a natural gas garage heater?

May 22, 8042 by THE DUDE

I have a 3 car garage that I am planning to keep heated this winter. which will be cheaper in the long run as far as energy costs. I have already insulated the garage and the doors.

Wow, I'm not trying to be argumentative, but at least in my area Electric heat is much cheaper than gas. In fact I'm getting ready to replace my 80,000 lp furnace with 18 KW of electric.

I'm not sure what your per KW rate is in your area, but you definitely want to measure out both types and do a calculation before you decide. Call your utility companies and ask them the rates per measured unit of energy that they charge.

As I said, here in Indiana, electricity beats gas hands down.
