[Shop-talk] Garage Heater Suggestions

[Patricia Lane]

Hi all,

   Finally getting around to wiring the garage.  I need suggestions on
heaters.  I'd prefer electric, forced air.  I don't have, nor want propane.
The only one I've found is:

The garage is 32 x 28 with a 10' ceiling.  My electrician (husband) doesn't
want to put two heaters in, since they each require a 220 wire, but I'm sure I
can talk him into it if that's what the garage needs.  He's thinking about a
wall heater like what is in hotel rooms.  I'm thinking ceiling heaters that
blow the air to the center of the garage.

I am mainly concerned with keeping the garage at 50 degrees during the cold
spells to protect my paint and body supplies.  I live in the Nashville area so
it doesn't stay cold long.  Air conditioning is not required.

Thanks for any help!
