When winter hits there's one area that we often wish was
Warmer than it is. That's the garage and if you have a detached version that
Houses your vehicles you may want to consider looking at garage heaters. These
Can not only make the air in the building warmer and more comfortable but it can
Actually help when it comes to warming up the car or truck in the
Morning.

A furnace is typically what most of us think of when we think of
Heating our home or garage. For homes that have an attached garage, this is
Typically the route they'll go. In most cases for those considering using home
Furnaces as garage heaters it involves having the garage fitted for heating
Ducts. This should be done by a professional to ensure it's done safely.

If you don't want to go to that much trouble or you do indeed have a
Detached garage there are many garage heaters that will work for you. The prices
And sizes range and typically your first consideration when looking for one
Should be the size of the space you will be heating. Most garage heaters are
Designed to heat upwards of a 500 sq ft space, which is more than adequate for a
Typical garage.

Electric is the easiest to use and doesn't require any
Special installation techniques. These can be used as soon as they are
Purchased. When you buy electric garage heaters pay close attention to their
Energy requirements. You must know the wiring specifications of your garage
Before you purchase one of the garage heaters. Buying one not designed for your
Wiring system could be a safety hazard.

Most models come with two
Different heat settings. This is typical of almost every portable heater that
You can purchase regardless if it's designed for home or garage use. Many of the
Garage heaters that are available can heat a standard two-car garage in about an
Hour when placed on the high setting. If you are going to be out in the garage
Changing the car's oil or working on a project, you can go out early, turn on
The heater and the space will be warm once you are ready to begin.

You
May be concerned with the safety issues of having a heater running in a spot
Where flammables, including gasoline are held. Electric garage heaters are
Incredibly safe to use and as long as they are placed in a spot that is free of
Debris or anything that can catch fire, they are fine to use. It's not advisable
That you leave garage heaters plugged in for days on end, but if you want to
Warm the garage before you leave in the morning, run out, plug it in and then
Shower and eat breakfast. By the time you are ready to go, the cold chill will
Be taken out of the garage, making it much easier to get yourself and your car
Moving.
