Any ideas on a cheap heat source for a garage heater? about 550 square feet of garage space. Electric or gas? Where to get?
It also has to be rugged enough for me to drop, trip over, hit with my tools when I'm not looking where I'm going, etc..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Thanks! Bill P. |

I use two Dayton natural gas industrial radiant heaters, and heat a 2160 sq foot garage with 12 foot cielings. They hang from cieling hooks, and require no vents. They keep the whole building at 70 degrees at zero outside temperature, and do not burn as much gas as a hot air gas furnace. I have low temp thermostats on them and turn them down to 40 degrees during the week, and on Saturday before breakfast, or Friday night before bed turn them up to 70. I do not think it costs $50 per month in gas. You need 3 feet above them and clear space below.
They came from Granger. Can't remember the cost, but a couple hundred each, plus natural gas line. |
