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. |

My service panel is 100A, the 15kw electric furnace uses a 80A 220V breaker. Each 5kw coil uses 20A when running, and even my highest electric bill (and my house is completely electric), is still less than my neighbor's gas/electric bill. You can always "de-rate" electric furnaces, meaning you disconnect coils to lower its output to 10kw, or even 5kw to suit the size of the space you're heating. The most expensive part of the unit is the blower motor, and I still can get those for about $35 (universal/3-speed/reversible/220V). The pic was taken from a new mobile home electric furnace that's for sale on ebay....$300 "buy it now" if I recall correctly. Call W.W. Grainger, or Johnstone Supply (best price) for wholesale (or as close as you'll get without an account).
