Default How Do You Heat Your Garage / Shop

After 10 years of wanting to have heat in my garage. I will be calling it my shop very soon. I'm 80% done with running the gas pipe and the heater is on the wall !! I got a ProCom MN300 infrared vent-free unit. And Pictures will be comming soon.

Just make sure you keep the burner and piolt of your heater at least 2 feet off the floor surface. That way any time you would happen to spill any flamable liquids the fumes can't get to the open flame. I have installed many water heaters and heaters in garages 15 years with a propane company serviceman.

I wish I had Nat gas routed to the garage, I just have electric heaters can't get it much over 10*C when it's -20*C outside.

Yep! By far the best heater I have ever had. Mine are mounted over my shop doors.

I work for a major Gas utility co., so of course I have heat. 40,000 BTU furnace in a 24x24 garage, natural gas BBQ grill (no running for propane), natural gas lighting.

Gas is Best !

It was 105 degrees in my garage this afternoon. I need cool not heat. In the winter it's a pleasure to work in the garage. In the summer it's a sauna, even with both doors open.

If you want to lose weight, come on in, you can polish my chrome and I won't charge you a cent.
