Default Re: Shop heater

I have a relatively small 12' X 24' garage. When I built it I ran 220 along with the 110 so as to install 6 ft. long baseboard heaters in the center of the long walls and put a thermostat control on the wall. Of course the walls and ceiling are well insulated.

They do a great job and quickly heat up the area to the selected temp.

No fan to blow stuff around, no open flame or glowing elements (fire risk), custom temp. settings, absolutely quiet, a low location to give even heat throughout - even when I'm on my back under the car -, practically flush with the wall taking up minimal space, cheap purchase and installation and reasonable energy useage.
