Oh Lord Have Mercy......
Now those are space heaters my friends [ROFL1]
If you can run gas, that is without question the way to go! I did this for under $300. 44k BTU,700Sq garage, and it does great!!! I was lucky however that my service was on the other side of the garage wall, about 12 feet to the right. I have had the garage at 70 with the outside temp around 10, of course full insulation helps. Look around and you can find these units for about 2-300, this one is a Reznor, Modines are great also. And just for the record, I do have another ball valve to shut off gas to the unit, you cant see it in the pic.....[Tooth] Good luck!!

I'd love to have one. And will eventually, where did you pick it up for that price? I'd get gas run to the garage if I could find a unit cheap enough to put in.

Y'know, before I bought my Hot Dawg, I looked all over hell for something like that! I never did find a place that had anything like that in stock.

It's about 1,000sq ft w/tall ceilings, three windows (w/coverings), two doors and two overhead doors (one double wide) w/insulation panels and all is drywalled. House was built about 4yrs ago and is an energy efficient home so I hope some of that spilled over into the garage as they were building as well. I'm pretty immune to weather so I don't need it to stay 70 deg or anything... just a little warmer in the winter.Quote:
