Guest billybird Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I was looking for a portable heating source for my garage. It is about 24 by 24 and attached to the house. Just looking for something to keep me comfortable while I work this winter. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking for something to keep me comfortable while I work this winter. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.I've found one of those $39.00 110/120 volt oil filled radiant heaters to do a respectable job in keeping my garage to around 65 degrees when the outside temp is in the thirties with the airflow around the overhead door lessened as much as possible. A couple of them should keep most any garage real toasty unless one is experiencing outside temps below 20 degrees.Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Look into IR heaters as they are all the rage now especially for a shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonHeberle Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 What is an IR heater? I was considing one of those Dayton electric heaters that can be hung from the ceiling. My garage is 26 by 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest billybird Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Just got back from Lowe's. Bought one convection/radiant heater and one fan forced. I'll see how they work tommorow. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
