Product Information

features: All space heaters are potential fire hazards, so it’s important to look for models with built-in safety features, such as overheat protection, tip-over shut-off and cool-to-touch exteriors. And make sure the heater you choose is certified by a reputable testing organization like UL, CSA, or ETL.

Fan heaters, similarly to electric heaters, convert electricity through a heating element with the help of a fan to distribute the heat.One buyer wrote, “It's high-quality and reliable and kept my garage above freezing all winter, even at -15°F outdoor temperature. It's efficient and costs less to operate than propane tanks for the space-heater I used before.” Space heaters may be used to heat a variety of different-sized spaces. Ten watts of power are required to heat up a square foot of area.

Ceramic heaters use ceramic plates to convert electricity to generate heat. This type of heating is suitable for smaller spaces as it takes a longer time to warm up a room. There are a few different options to choose from when it comes to selecting the perfect garage heater for your space. Weigh the following factors to figure out which garage heater makes the most sense for your space and budget. Garage heaters allow homeowners to use their garages year-round, even during the coldest winters and in garages that are uninsulated. While insulation will save energy and money, some powerful heaters, like a 45,000 BTU garage heater, will make easy work of warming even a two-car, uninsulated garage. Garage heaters help turn garages into areas that can be used all year round The DeWALT DXH45LP 45,000 BTU Radiant Propane Heater is an excellent alternative for outdoor work stations.Our partners at the Hearst Autos Gear Team conducted a thorough testing process to ensure our information about garage heaters is accurate and reliable. On a cold Michigan day, they opened the garage door to allow the temperature to drop to a consistent starting point of 50 °F. This ensured that each heater began its test under similar conditions. After closing the garage door, they positioned the heaters in the same locations and let them run for 15 minutes. Then they monitored the increase in temperature inside the garage using a thermostat to determine the effectiveness of each heater. Radiant heaters heat just a portion of a room, while convection heaters heat the whole area. A fan-powered space heater circulates air over a heating element. https://www.newair.com/blogs/learn/the-pros-and-cons-of-different-types-of-space-heaters-and-their-features Convection heaters are most effective for smaller, vented areas and use convection streams to heat a room. These heaters are excellent for heating tiny rooms, postponing the start of your central heating system, and for locations that your system cannot reach.

For garages that are 1,000 square feet or less, the Dyna-Glo ventless garage heater is ideal. Powered by natural gas, this vent-free heater can easily be installed on the wall to keep floor space free. There are three variable temperature settings for optimal warmth, and, while the fan is sold separately, one satisfied consumer reviewed, “I am using it to heat a 10x12-foot section of an uninsulated garage. Gets the room from 40°–70°F in a few minutes on the low setting.” One customer with a 672-square-foot garage described it as an “excellent garage heater,” and explained, “It heated my garage to 68°F from 57°F in about 60 minutes.”Propane heaters, like gas heaters, should be used in airy garages or rooms. They run on propane tanks and some models require a connection to an existing gas line. Since they don’t use electricity, there is more flexibility on where they can be placed within the garage. Infrared heaters use electromagnetic radiation to heat coils and are useful for small or large spaces. Another vent-free unit, but powered by propane, this Bluegrass Living heater is designed for garages smaller than 450 square feet. A safety sensor automatically turns the device off if carbon monoxide is detected, and the thermostat helps sustain the set temperature throughout the room. Space heaters commonly employ radiant, convection, and fan-forced heating techniques to keep objects warm. This impressive portable workshop heater provides consistent, steady heat while you work. With a run time of seven hours, there?s more than enough power in this device to keep you warm all day. Also, with a heating area of 27m³, it?s powerful enough to heat a room for a number of workers, reducing the number of heaters needed.
