Heating garage

[Old Moparz]

My friend has a wood stove in his, if you don't have room you could try one of these.  It is a nice addition

That's pretty cool but pricey...

Wow, I never knew they made such a thing.   

Something to consider with this is that if it simply slides into the window, you probably don't need a permit & a C.O. to use it. I bet the building department sees as being no different than using a portable heater or window air conditioner. The 24,000 btu's is pretty high, too.

I would seriously consider this for my garage situation. In New York state you need to follow the energy code to install a heating system, even in a garage. For me that means I'd have to insulate the entire building to the R value they now require, then drywall, paint, etc. No way I'm going to do all that without roughing in plumbing, electric & more, not to mention I'd have to empty the building to do it. 

I have to agree. After thinking it over, this seems like a great option.

Okay, so are you going to be the guinea pig & be the first to get one to try it out? I'll send you a bag of pellets to entice you into it so you can write a review.   

If I saw this a year ago, I'd probably have bought it. Right now, it's bad timing & there's no way I can dive into an expense like that. I'd definitely cut a hole in the wall for one, I don't need a window.

I have a 75k BTU Hot Dawg. Paid $1,200.00 installed six years ago with a 10 year warrenty.

As mentioned the condensation would only be an issue if you left the garage unheated, and then turned the heat on and have the temperature come up fast. That use to happen to me at our old house when I would work on the Charger during the winter and used a torpedo heater. Now I can leave the temp at 45º-47º, and turn the Hot Dawg up to 56º when I work in the shop, no moisture problems.Obviously when I paint I turn the temp up higher.

Can't go wrong with one of those.


Place sheets of wood on the concrete too...Under the car

Nope. If I was working on something out there, I'd do it.  Back when I was working on the wife's Valiant ragtop, a fellow DCer lent me a torpedo heater that did thet trick.

Good setup, it's the same one I have at the new house.

I already have heat but I would buy this as a supplemental heater....great for anyone with an attached garage and can plumb natural gas from within their home to garage.

I don't think venting a natural gas furnace is that big of a deal, used house forced air furnaces or old industrial space heaters are available pretty cheap.
