adding heat to the garage?

[TinkerTanker]

I came off my gas water heater and mounted mine to wall. View attachment 331932

These ventless old gas heaters are what I have too. Works great and I got mine for free from someone renovating a house. Just poke a hole in the wall or mount it to a piece of plywood tied to the wall. Warms the whole 2 car garage up to 50 degrees in about 1 hour at 10 degree outside.
This is in addition to my regular electric garage heater I keep running anytime it's below freezing in there. I have exposed pipes (botched project I will fix someday) and can't have it get below freezing in there.

Those ceiling mounted heaters would be nice. I just probably wouldn't use it enough to justify the investment to the wife.

I just went with a Dyna-Glo kerosene heater. 23,000 BTUs. It has kept the garage livable at about 50-55 degrees yesterday and today since the sun is out it's hit 60 so I turned it off. Older house and the washer is out there so it can't freeze.

Buy a Chevy bolt and just plug it in.
Nice and Toasty.

I know when dad had his house built he had them to extend the duct work over into the garage area and had it insulated they just blocked off the duct work and never installed the vents in case down the road someone wanted to turn it into a spare room of some sort but the thermostat would still be in the reg part of the house.

I have been wanting to try one of these and they are portable. YouTube videos show they work pretty darn good for what it takes to run them.

ive got a 240 volt mini split unit in my uninsulated 2 car garage. Keeps it warm enough to get stuff done, and the a/c will keep it at 68ish all summer long. The same size unit is available in 110, i just happened to have extra 240, and not much 110 outlet space. one 4 inch hole in the wall and about 1000 bucks is all it takes.

Mini splits are great. Very efficient.

An electric oil filled radiator heater is a simple and relatively safe option. I’ve got two in my garage right now, and one in each bathroom.

Is your hot water heater in your garage? If so you can hang the below in your garage, pipe it up with a small water pump and you are good to go! Just run the return line back to the water line going into the water heater.
