Exceeded my expectations,

July 11, 2007

"I really only expected this heater to take the edge off the cold but it does a very good job keeping my 10x22 3rd garage stall nice and toasty in the Minnesota winter. It can easily heat the room to 80+ degrees. Of course, the insulated walls and ceiling play a big part in that.

The heater cycles on/off at what I would consider reasonable intervals given the setting I use. The fan is pretty quiet, only producing a low hum so it's not at all distracting. I've used it for three winters now and have been very happy with it.

The main drawback would have to be the price of electricity these days. But I went with this verses a gas heater because I did not have access to the gas line from the garage without adding a whole new run. The breaker box for the house is in the garage so wiring it up was easy as pie.

If you have a similar sized space with no access to a gas line then I don't think you can go wrong with this heater."

Great Heater!!!!,

November 6, 2009

By FletchLives

from Mc Donald, Ohio

"Tired of working in a cold garage? I was too, until I purchased this heater that is. Don't let the cold weather stop you from getting your projects done any longer. This heater is perfect for any garage, provided it's insulated. My garage is over 600sqft with a 10ft ceiling and it will take the temp from 35 degrees to 60 and keep it there in a flash! Yes it must be hard wired but dont let that stop you. Here is all you need......10-2 copper wire, 30amp two pole circuit in your breaker panel, and a grounding lug for the heater(only because 10g wire is to hefty to bend around grounding screw provided on the heater)and thats it, your done! One lag screw into your ceiling joist is all it takes to mount, thats it, one! No gas fumes, no venting through the wall or roof, just wire it up and turn it on! If you've been looking to get some heat out there in your garage but were never quite sure which one to get, the hunt is over. Buy it now, you won't regret it, I did'nt. P.S. If you are'nt comfortable working with electricity, please hire an electrician."

garage heater,

November 3, 2009

By xinloy69

"purchased this unit to heat a 30'x24' insulated shop with two 8' overhead doors. This unit arrived on time was easily installed with clear instructions, so far so good, the ambient temp was 42 F. when I fired up the heater for the first time. I like to work in the shop at about 60 F. in fourty minutes this little gem had me peeling off layers.
I highly recommed it, if electric is your only option, don't waste your time with portatbe heaters."

quiet - good price,

November 2, 2009

By djbartu

from PA

"This heater is very good for the price. It does run very quietly. It will keep my garage warm if I first use my propane heater to get the space up to temp. (However, I have not tried it when the outside temps are below 45 degrees.) If you need to heat a two car garage you may be better off selecting the 7500 watt version - although that one is quite a bit more expensive."

Efficient Heater,

October 19, 2009

By Flyer12

from Northern New York State

"I purchased the Fahrenheat 5000 watt heater in hopes that it would that it would keep my over 2000 sq. foot
storage building above freezing after my wood supply ran out. I set it at two marks above the lowest setting
and it kept the building at 40 to 42 degrees even at temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees
below zero.
It was a bit expensive on my electric bill but it did what I wanted. The building is well insulated which is why
it probably worked so well."

"I purchased two of these units, one for my shop and the other for my garage. I have been restoring a '68 Cuda in my garage, and the winters in NY can get real cold. One unit is located in a 20 x 20 garage and is able to raise the temp from 32 degrees to 75 degrees in approx 15 min, I was blown away. The other is in my shop, and I only turn it on when needed, the temp in my shop in the winter is about 50 degrees, and turning this unit on makes for a very comfortable environment. These units have replaced 3 to 4 smaller units that were nowwhere near as efficent, these are highly recommended."

Good for the price,

July 13, 2009

By DRTRCR

from Southeastern New Mexico

"I have a 24 x 24 metal shop building that is lightly insulated, where I build race cars and engines. The winters in southern New Mexico DO get pretty cold especially with the open plains wind chill factor. I bought this with price in mind, figuring I would only get what I paid for, and my calculations were correct.
This works just fine to knock the chill off the freeze, and be able to take my coat off in about 15-20 minutes from frozen.
It is light enough and managable enough that I hung it from my ceiling joist beam (on a ladder) all by myself with little to moderate effort. Power hookup was fast and easy for me. I wired it directly into my 100 amp breaker box, using a 30 amp breaker switch to turn it off and on, leaving the thermostast on medium-high since it was now out of reach on the unit up in the rafters. I turn it on and off via switch as needed.
This works great for me so far... for the money, and for the purpose. It is just right for a small to medium home shop. I like it and may buy another one fror my other garage at the house."
