I’ve used my electric heater for almost 20 years. Wish I went gas. It costs me roughly $180 per month in Chicago. I looked at all my electric bills. That’s around $800 a year! Gas roughly 30 a month extra. Changed my electric out a year ago.

The key to his result is by lowering the temp, insulation performance goes up.

Let me know your thoughts below!

If you want to heat with electricity, the most efficient way is a heat pump. I heat with a mini split ductless unit with a typical COP of 2.5. This means for every watt of electricity I get 2.5 watts of heat. Install one of these in your shop and you will cut your electric bill by at least 50%.

You actually keep your garage very cold. This helps with cost a lot as you lose less heat. If you doubled your temp to be comfortable. You would probably triple your costs. Gas or oil would be cheaper in cost per BTU. You have chosen the most convenient. It's a fine choice if you can afford it.

you must have one nice ass poco. we getting raped out here

here in ky my electric company ( licking valley) charges 14.35cents per killowatt. my garage is 16x30 i keep it at 55 degs, im charged 275 per month for the whole month just for my garge. im running a 10,000 watt furnace but dont use but 5000 waTTs on low.

Mostly nonsense. Electricity is the most expensive way to heat a building if you calculate $ per btu. I have researched this heating my cabin. Propane cost 1/3 the price of electricity.

I've read that anything running on electric is like burning money in really cold areas.

thumbs up ( I was going to say to put in a heat pump, but by the time you consider the initial investment, for how much electric you use, seems you are doing the most overall best thing ) We use a heat pump in our garage, but it was there when we moved in and until it breaks we will use it. Maybe consider something like a Mr buddy heater just in case the power goes out. I have also found out that Propane at about $3.50 per gallon cost me about the same as electric strip heat How much did it cost you for that interesting, easy to use, high tech heater ( mated to solar ) you are using? We have "paid off" solar also, it was a great investment , ROI, for us.

Yellow can burns hotter

Great explanation K6, thanks for posting

I’m with an electric coop and my electricity is 8¢ per KWh. Hookup is a flat $40/Mon but I pay that regardless.

Just bought a clearance display set up from Walmart for $125 all assembled 👏🏾👍🏾😎

But You Must Tell The Truth To The People, How Many Times Did You Blowout Your 30 Amps Fuse ?? Me Every Time I use It. Amén.

Thank for the great video. I have been trying to decided between an electric heater and propane. I currently have no LP on my property. Looking like electric may be the way to go. Like you said by the time you get a tank and then pay rental, and piping install. Electric I can pull all the permits and do the install myself. Plus no venting and no explosion hazard from fumes.

DO NOT OVERFILL THAT ONE POUND TANK It has a safety release valve. As the tank warms up, it might build up enough pressure to release gas. If it finds a spark you'll have a fire or explosion. NOTE: That is why it is a violation of DOT laws to transport tanks you have refilled at home. Put some of those in the trunk of a car on a hot day and you can blow the car to hell and back. Whichever brand of tank you buy, weigh it full from the store and never fill it to be heavier than the store bought weight. If you insist on transporting those in a vehicle save the four way plastic restraint and the caps so you can make it appear they are factory, NOT refilled. The fine can be as high as $100,000.

🤬

You need weigh that tank if the tank temp was the same you didnt fill it

No way you heated your garage with electric heater for the winter for $150 no way yeah maybe if you kept a thermostat at 45°

It ran 200 hrs. That's not .uch so i assume you only heat the shop when you are in there. Is that correct ?

now when i put mine together, and don't read the directions, i have a good idea how to assemble it thanks for the how to...also i think i will wash the grill top before i put it together....just bought one 1/6/25 on walmart website for $147 and i got an adapter hose there too

🤔 Hmmmm……. So looks like the grass grows greener on the upper side of the geotextile fabric as well as the other side of the fence

Thank you! I just bought the 2020 model from W-Mart plus some accessories from AMZ and Lowes. This definitely helps with the initial setup.

it's the ice that's the problem ...and ya ain't blowing that off

Thanks this is great! Can’t wait to go this to son’s car!

I bought 2 and welding them together. Hewded to get a third cause they were out of stock. Final table should be 3x6 to build go cart frames and a few side by side upgrades and exhausts.

OMG get to it...

Bet didn't get very much in it without releasing pressure

my solution to not being cold in my shop is simple and cheap. I don't go out into my shop during winter😅.

I can not figure out which hose goes where with the filter and the mats. The instructions are doing my head in. I get the concept but can't figure it. Please help

I have watched all of your heater videos as im finally about to pull the trigger on finally heating my garage. this seemed to be the exact video I needed at the perfect time. excellent info as always

Whats the purpose?? ZERO sun to accumulate energy.. You just burned more of the ozone your "protecting" by using that horrible gas powered blower..

Good video K6. I just added foam board to my garage doors and noticed a difference. Now I just need to adjust the spring to accommodate the extra weight.

Oh no, please tell me there not sparrow/ starling design

I've done a similar modification to my shelving(same style). I would recommend a cross bar or two between the wheels. It stops you from being able to roll things under but it adds a significant amount of strength. The shelf cross bars aren't as permanent and can lift out. Also, casters are generally rated for 3, not four. This is so that if you roll it on uneven ground and one wheel lifts, you are still within the rating. Beyond those two changes, it's a great idea and I'm always surprised that companies don't build a rolling rack like this.

Wish I had found your video before installing the new idler pulley, but oh well. I have the revised pulley installed now; I guess I'll order a belt. Thank you for your help and information.

I replaced the parts inside the cutter head and it works great now!

I cant believe it.

You are the Best Sir 👍👌😇Yes gravity is very important and Happy New Year Cheers 😇🙏🍻

also in iowa and i got a 10kw heater for xmas, just finished insulating my 24x36x8 garage cant wait to install it

Was just looking at some shelving @ Menards last week and had the same thought re: casters. Thanks for the video ... your timing is amazing. :)

The Benford 6000 totally portable metal rack, totally rebuilt those 4x4's, they look new.

I don’t have 220.

You Are an OUTSTANDING Super Daddy Sir 👍👌😇🙏Nice Safety tips with the kids 🧐🧐👍👍Keep Warm Sir Cheers 🍻🍻

Can I use this in a hair salon? Working 10 hours daily

I use a nail in the fill hole to purge pressure. There is a relief valve on the side of the 1 lb,some pull this up with needle nose pliers to purge

Ya need ta purge the excess pressure afore doing that. Also close the large valve before ya tip ot up.becouse some will flow back into the 5 gal.leave in sun outside. If any leaks leaks Do this with his method and you'll usually get a full or close to full 1 lb

I love my rear blade for snow removal, best tip I have is bring in the top link so when the blade is down its angled forward, that way it wont dig in and rip anything up

Nice job working with the kiddos
