Heating a garage can be challenging.
If you do a lot of work in your garage and you live in a cold climate, you might be considering your options on heat a garage. It can be overwhelming with all the different types of heaters to choose from. Here's heat a garage:
Instructions
1. Use a sealed-combustion space heater if your house uses natural gas or propane. A sealed-combustion space heater pulls air from outside and pumps it back outside so you don't have to worry about sawdust or fumes being circulated in the garage. This type of heater warms up quickly, so it's an ideal solution to a cold garage. Installing it overhead is best (make sure your ceilings are high enough), but can also be placed on the floor as well. See the resources listed below for a link to Empire Comfort System's website - they sell sealed-combustion space heaters.
2. Use electric radiant ceiling panels.
Electric radiant are fairly easy to install, quickly warm up large garage spaces and don't make any noise. It can be expensive to run them, but the panels can be turned off when not in use. These panels are great to mount above the general area you'll be working in the garage. See the resources listed below for a link to Solid State Heating Corporation's website - they sell electric radiant "Enerjoy" panels.
3. Use both!
The space heater will heat the garage and the ceiling panels will keep you extra warm at your workbench.
4. Use electric radiant floor panels.
These are not easily installed into an existing garage since installation can be expensive and tedious. It's much easier to install them during the initial construction of the garage.
