*Here's the link to the most recent model!* amzn.to/3ietzQt
*Install was easy **fireplace.homes** good although I personally had some difficulty with the thermostat I had. Issue was mine though, not realizing that electric heaters couldn't use oil thermostats. Tip: If you are using an external thermostat, run the power to the thermostat, not the unit. Once that was squared away it worked great.*
Thank you for the review, I am looking for a heater for my detached garage and your review really highlighted a lot of what I am facing. Much appreciated.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video. Hope your winter days in the garage are warm ones! :)
Thanks Carlos! Appreciate you doing this video. Exactly what I was looking to do in my garage. Nice setup also.
Thanks, Brian!!
This is why I do so much research....never even thought about propane wall mounted. Thanks for letting me learn from your mistakes as I know I would of made them too lol.
Happy to help, Shawn. Thanks for watching!
New sub! Keep it up man! Like the fresh point of view on building out your home/garage gym! The Rona has really helped to separate the recreational lifters from the lifers!! Appreciate the content!
I appreciate you! Much love!

Carlos very informative of the 4 videos I watched on installation. I liked and subscribed. Very helpful advice and sharing of experiences. THANK YOU
Thank you! One year review coming Friday!
Great video Carlos. love the American and PR Flags.
Great review. Helped answer a lot of questions that I had. Thanks
Thanks ! 1 year review coming Friday!
So i got the heater on sale about 3 weeks ago at Menards for 180 bucks..i got the 30k BTUs for my garage gym and i gotta say I'm imprrssed...i also went through a couple other options before seeing your video...so happy with my heater and works like a charm...thanks for your video!!
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks man!! 🔥😎
Thank you so much. You have saved me lots of time and money.
You're welcome, Christine! Thanks for watching!!!
Dude man thank you soo much for this video! I also have a gym and video game room in my garage. Only bad thing is it get too cold during the winter. I been researching all these electric heaters online and they all do not heat a garage well at all. Your video saved me sooo much money. I will order these things now! Thanks man
Thanks for the kind words! Be sure to check out the comments. Some good questions were asked! Wish you a warm gaming and exercise filled winter 🤙🏽🤟🏽
@@carlosistribe I also have a 3 car garage man cave/gym/ billiard room fully insulated. Do u think this would help iny 3 car garage and how long does the 20lbs propane tank last, also did you seal proof gaps in garage doors windows etc.. To make it more efficient??
Any ventless above 20000btu will do.
Thank you so much man I appreciate you
Thanks for watching!!!
Thanks bud. You saved me alot of time and money! Nice setup BTW!
Oh yeah. I "liked" the video
Thank you! Much love! 🙏🏽
Thanks for the review, I'm going to do it.
Thank you for watching!
Looks like a good solution for someone that only needs to heat the garage while they are in the garage. However, I needed a solution that was safe enough that I could leave it running all the time, day and night, to keep the garage above 50 degrees or so and never let it drop below that. The idea is to maintain a temperature that is better for my cars and won't allow my auto detailing chemicals to freeze. My only option seems to be electric infrared heaters. I've installed one infrared 1500W heater and it seems to keep the garage just above 50 degrees when it's cold out. I plan to install another one on the other side of the garage (on a separate circuit) in hopes that the two of them might be able to maintain the garage temp at around 60 degrees, which I'd be fine with. Yes, I will have a higher electric bill from December through March, but that's just how it is unless I go to the expense of installing a 240v power line and get a more powerful heater, or install a mini-split.
The heaters I got are also WiFi and are programmable via an app on my phone. I was able to setup rules to run the heater at different levels depending on outside temperature, or turn the heater off if the outside temp is above 50 degrees.
The important thing is to make sure you garage is somewhat well insulated, including garage doors and any windows, so that it keeps the cold air out and keeps the warm air in. I insulated my garage doors a couple of weeks ago and plan to insulate my garage windows this weekend. It was 23 degrees outside last night and my garage stayed between 50 and 55 degrees, with the heater running intermittently to maintain that.

Thanks Carlos for the info gonna do it in my gearge
Thanks for watching, Claudio!!!
I bought a dyna glo one and put my eco fan in front of it . I put the feet on and put the eco fan up on a concrete block in front of it . Basement in just over an hour went from 50 degrees to 61 degrees on low and basement is 30 by 98 feet
Cheers bro, good info.
Thanks for watching!!!
Good stuff man!
Thanks, Jesse!
Thank you very helpful vid 👍
Thank you for watching!
Thanks Carlos. I may get one of those heaters. My garage is cold as a refrigerator and I need some heat in there. I have 20 pound propane tanks to fuel this type heater. Thanks for the vid. 👍🏽🙂
You got it! Thanks for watching!!!
Gracias por los tips mi chingon
jajaja! a la orden, amigo mio!
The dyson heaters surge to 1800 watts for the first 30 seconds then go to 1500 watts. That will blow some fuses in some houses.
Great video!!!
Thanks Travis! I appreciate the kind words! 🙏🏽
I have that exact same gas heater. NG/ 30k Btu. I have found that the best use practice is at floor level because of it's convection design. I do have the fan kit, but in my shop I prefer the ceiling fan on medium to circulate the air from the twelve foot ceilings.
Hey Stewart!
Having it near ground is 100000% best practice if you’re looking to rely mostly/solely on the style of heating from the heater itself. However, if you have an external fan circulating the air, it’ll work much better. In my case, I added a fan and also increased the height off the ground to better accommodate some of my equipment. Works like a charm!
How many much fuel is used in a 24 hr period
@@Myeyeofthebeholder None when it's Off. A little bit when it's on a little bit. Alot when it's on alot.
I luv the fact that its not stupid loud
Good review
Don’t know if I missed it but Co is not the worry as much as you are displacing oxygen.
It’s necessary to crack a window or door 4-6 inches to keep fresh O2 coming in
I know it seems counterintuitive to bring cold air in but the room will heat up just fine
The warning is definitely in the instructions
Good luck with it
this unit has an auto shut off if oxygen falls below 25%
I touched on this point in the new video - thanks for watching - I appreciate it!
Great Great Great video.

I bought a mini split but I'm gonna switch to this setup for my 10x20 off grid shed cabin
For your morning dew moisture issue just pick up a nice humidifier and that will solve it.
you will neend the mjh / kw of the appliance and ventilation installed if its in a garage, Factor x 450 = vents x2 high and low mm2 for example 30mjh appliance would need 13500mm2 vent one high and one low directly to outside
Great review.
End of line.
Dude!! Lmao, I am going crazy tryna find the right heater for my garage. I went with tha Dr. heater 1500w and hopefully I won’t be disappointed. Good video! 👍🏻
Best of luck with it! Multiple ways to heat up the room. Hopefully it turns out well for you. Best of luck - thanks for watching! 🤟🏽
So were u disappointed or satisfied or 👎🏿
Review video is up! Check it out 💪🏽🙏🏽
Just one thing. The radiant heat model is stronger. I have been around both. Thanks for the reviews
radiant heater uses more fuel in my opinion.... concentrates heat in a smaller area around the heater.... blue flame is slower to diffuse around an area, but is more steady over time and cheaper... in my opinion based on 5 years experience and many types of lp vent free heaters...
@@robertprestonsr2453 Well said Robert!
I wish I would have watched this back in January! Haha
I appreciate your kind words! My lady and I always watch your videos 💙 we love the positive outlook, the good vibes are always something we look forward to!
@@carlosistribe I am so flattered that y'all watch! I think I am going to leave my heaters behind and get something like this for our next home. Next winter will be a lot nicer!
@@AprilLauren I sent you an email :)
Question now… how long do the tanks last before you have to fill them up again?
NOONE ever answers this fucking question.
8-12 hours
Depends how long the heater itself has to run to warm the room. The smaller the room the longer a tank will last bc the heater won’t be on for very long at a time. The larger the room the more gas needed to heat it.
Is it wise to have a propane tank in the garage? I'd like to heat my garge but I also store gasoline in there so any combustion might be dangerous.
Brother, can you please recommend me a direct vent gas wall furnace that can be installed flush on the dry wall?
Got a 60,000 btu propane heater in garage but still would need a carbon monoxide detector could get one at Lowes.
Most places it goes like this, highest to lowest cost, electric, propane, diesel #2, natural gas, wood can be free if you live in the boonies.
Great video, just what I was looking for. Can you do a follow up video, would love to know if you still recommend it.
Hey, Miguel! I appreciate you watching! The new video is up. It’s a deep dive 1 year review. I pinned the comment above with the link. Or look on my channel, it’s my most recent upload. 🤟🏽
@@carlosistribe Thanks so much. I've been doing tons of research and didn't want to spend a lot of money just to find the one. Thanks again.
Nice review. Thank u. My son says they are not safe inside. Trying to prove him wrong.
People use these in RV's and are proven to be safe. However, i would say have a carbon monoxide detector and keep it well ventilated. All the gaps i have in the garage do more then enough venting for me lol Thanks for watching!!!
I have a 3 car garage which is my man cave with spool table and a gy.m in there. Mine is fully insulated even the doors too. Did you seal all the cracks around garage door, windows, door that goes to yard ett For the heater to be more efficient??
Answering this in the new video review coming Friday!
How is all the extra moisture doing in your garage with that style heater, or do you also run a dehumidifier at the same time?
Hey, John. I have a video on the channel with a year review about it all. But in short, the moisture hasn’t done any “damage” to my gym equipment. No extra surface rust on any equipment or weight plate that would’ve otherwise happened on its own without the heater. My garage isn’t the most sealed. Which conveniently enough, allows me to not even have to open a window. (I’m looking at my not-so-well sealed garage as a plus in this light lol) So, if you have a well insulated area, ventilation via a cracked open window should be enough. If it’s a very small space you’re dealing with or hobbies that can get ruined with small amounts of moisture, than I would consider getting a dehumidifier.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. Looking to replace my big buddy heater. On average how many minutes or hours does that propane tank last you?
One year review coming Friday! Answering this specifically!
I ordered this heater, the regulator, an all-metal fan, and a dehumidifier all because of this video. You did a great, real person, review! Oh, and I also ordered a new carbon monoxide detector just in case.
Appreciate you! - thank you for the kind words. I wish you nothing but cozy and warm days in these up coming colder months!
You need a vented heater. That is designed for use in a well ventilated area only. Carbon monoxide is literally being dumped into your garage
I have one question: How close can you put an item before it starts getting kinda too hot. Obviously vinyl is different then metal but I am sure you have noticed this before. And I know the fan makes a difference also. Helpful experience is welcome. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
I’ll answer this question in the new video. One year review coming Friday!
You can actually put this unit on the floor... almost all the heat comes out of the grid at the top,,,
About a foot maybe alil less
Bro I got a garage gym also but I can only use it in fall and spring. Too hot in summer and too cold in winter. Since it’s winter I’m going to try your solution thanks! What’s the name brand and where’d u buy it???
Its a DynaGlo Wall Heater 30,000 BTU
im looking at buying one of these. question thought. if you have it turned up all the way. how close can you stand up to it without it being extremely hot? The reason im asking is, where i am wanting to install it, my bass boat sits about 3ft away from it.
Great question. i believe the manual says 24-36 inches from whatever is directly in front of it and at least 18 inches above it must be free. if its an aluminum boat with nothing flammable in the immediate area, its risky, but your call. if its a fiberglass hull, i wouldnt run that risk at all. What i did was install it about 4.5ft up on the wall and had a fan above it as shown in the video. and it works extremely well. There is another video on my channel going over a review after a year. hope that helps!
How long will it run on one tank of gas? And you might consider a decent humidifier to lower moisture.
One year review coming Friday!
a 20 lb tank to this unit will run CONTINUOUSLY ON LOW for about 3 days,,, or figure about 70 hours max.... he doesn't stress that the unit has a temperature gauge and off/on feature automatic... Personally, I would hook this up to at least a 40lb tank...
Could run a dehumidifier with it
Have you tried a dehumidifier to reduce the moisture in the room?
That’s a great point I came across a few weeks after posting this video. It will most definitely make a difference. But most of my equipment is fully painted so I’m not to worried about rust or have seen any up until now.
I have some built in wooden shelves in the garage. Do you think I could mount it on the front of this “shelf ledge”? It’s a 2x4 that runs horizontally.
Hey JWB - im not sure what you mean by on the front. But my 1-year update video has a lot of common questions and, if i remember correctly, i go over the distances that it needs to be away from certain things. Cheers!
@@carlosistribe I built wooden shelves , and I have a couple 2x6 as vertical supports. I was thinking about mounting the unit to these vertical supports. So I guess I’d picture it like “exposed studs” except it’s a shelf behind it
You should hire an Hvac contractor to install a unit heater
At least your garage has drywall. I can see the studs in my garage and temperatures usually reach -40 out here in the great white north
lol! god bless you!
How long does a full 10lb last ya?
Great vid btw
not sure, only ran on 20lbs. My other video goes further in depth
How many hours do you get out of the tank at what setting.
Answering this in the new video coming Friday!
I think the condensation issue is from using propane instead of natural gas. Propane puts a lot more moisture into the air.
Could be, I haven’t looked too much into that as it doesn’t bother me in the amount that I deal with. Unless it’s true radiant or wood, I would assume moisture from any other type of open flame.
I have natural gas n it does it also. It's the moisture
Lol cool dude
Bless up 🙏🏽
I notice my propane tank makes an air noise as the heater is on , but when the heater is off it goes away. I checked for leaks no bubbles. Is this normal?
One year review coming Friday! I’ll answer this question on the video
@@carlosistribe answer if you also smell a slight gas or fume smell as well.
is itt possible to connect it to a wall thermostat so u can control it via wifi?
good question - im not too sure about that. I kept my set up as simple as i could
I currently have a Mr. Heater 30,000-60,000 BTU bullet propane heater but I can smell the propane in my 2-car garage after running it for a while. Do you smell any propane with this one? Do you have to open a door or window when running it which is recommended for my bullet heater which seems counter-productive to me. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hey Kelly!
It is recommended at times to have a crack in the window. 1) for the sake of the propane gases (circulation) 2) for the humidity.
Propane will displace air because of its characteristics; so if there’s too much in there, you’ll know because you’re short of breath. But do not fear as it won’t have any long term impacts if only done accidentally once or twice. But there’s a reason why I don’t think you’ll ever get to that point. I don’t know where you are in, but there are chemicals in the propane added to give off an odor. It smells like off milk or rotten eggs. So if it does smell like that; I’d check your connections with soapy water and the hose itself with soapy water.
HOWEVER if the heater is new (less than 10hours used) the metals and glue inside haven’t settled in yet which gives off an odor for the first few hours than it goes completely away and that smell isn’t related to the propane.
Be sure to have at least one carbon monoxide detector as well! For circulation have a fan moving the air around. It’ll heat up the area faster and keep it more comfortable. Crack the window ever so slightly to get new air coming in and old air out.
Hope that helps. Peace love and positivity!
I forgot to add; if you see the soapy water on the connections get bubbly, you have a leak. Sometimes the hose itself might have a crack, in which case the soapy water will help there, too.
One more thing, if you don’t have a regulator or hose that is meant for propane specifically, the pressure will cause the inside of the hose to slowly breakdown causing a smell to appear and will eventually harm your heater.
Okay now I’m done. Lol!
@@carlosistribe Carlos, that you very much for the info. I ordered the Mr. Heater 30,000 BTU radiant heater as no one had the Dyna-GLo but they look identical and reviews are good. Thanks for the inspiration!
Long term low level exposure can cause alot of bad things later in life. Just my two cents.
I have a kerosene heater, when you turn it on and off it smells, just have to keep it at a medium range, it's for indoor and outdoor ,very useful
Space Heaters !
Hi, Cathy! not sure what you mean exactly by space heaters. But if you mean the electrical ones that plug into a normal outlet at home, those in terms of cost, is the least feasible for a garage that isnt well insulated and of this size. Trust me, i tried. I had four 1500 watt space heaters lol barely moved the temperature up 3-4 degrees. And thats not taking into account the sky rocketing of my electrical bill for those two months. hahahaha
Do you have any issues with the 20lb tank rather than than 100lb? I really only want to
Run it when it gets close to
Below freezing in the garage
No issues at all. only difference is that the 100lb will last you a bit longer. I run mine constantly for 2-3 hours a day and im usually good for a 2-ish months. Just remember, your time on either size tank will depends on how the insulation is in your garage, how big it is, and how big of a change in temperature you want. Cheers!
@@carlosistribe thx!
Is it supposed to smell gas when you first install it I heard let it run for a while to see if it goes away
yeah - usually what youre smelling is the adhesives in the heater settling. if youre using the propane route, it'll smell like rotten eggs. its a smell you cant miss or confuse with anything else. be sure to check the hose connection with soapy water. if it bubbles, you may have a leak.
Yo man, you still need a CO meter. A byproduct of combustion with propane is CO, especiallyif you are not ventilating the area, which you aren't since yuu want to keep heat in. I went with a 240 electric for my detached garage gym because of that. Be safe.
Which electric you go with? Is it working? I’ve tried two and it’s not very efficient
I’ll answer/comment on this in the new video coming Friday! Cheers!
Does it come with the fan sensor in the back
No fan with the unit. There is one you can buy that goes inside of the unit tho. Although I don’t recommend it. I used the one on top.
On average how long will the tank last? If you use it about 4 hours a day?
I have this same setup and it will run close to 18 hours on a 20 pound tank. I have since dug a copper pipe from my 500 pound tank to the heater to supply the gas to the shed. That tank also is the supply gas for my house furnance and hot water heater. A lot cheaper to buy the fuel, to heat with, buy several dollars. A lot of times people will sell larger tanks on places like Craigslist, local farm auctions, or in the newspapers.
One year review coming Friday! And I’ll answer this there as well!
@@carlosistribe awesome looking forward to it
What’s is the link
Do you think this is a better option vs having a 220 volt electric heater hooked up?
Great question! All comes down to budget and frequency of use. I’ll list a few pros and cons of each.
Electric 240v
Pro: heat at the flip of a switch
Pro: no fuel to replace
Con: initial cost of installation (I was quoted between 1500-2000 all depends on the length of wire needed to be run to your breaker box)
Propane:
Pro: anyone can install it, all you pay for is the heater itself
Pro:very efficient
Con: you’ll have to switch out the propane tank every so often. Not a deal breaker for me, but something to consider.
Hope this helps! I have another video on my channel going over the yearly review as well with FAQ’s.
Oh I will also add; a con to the 240v is the cost of electricity. This could turn into a big cost.
Eletric portable oil filled heater are good and better than space heaters. Once the room gets to temp it turns off but the radiator retains the heat making the area cool down slower and the heater doesn't need to run as often because of that.
I would agree but the time it takes to heat up and get the room to temp is a major downfall for my specific needs. I would opt for that style in my room or office where I would be spending more than just 1 or 2 hours in.
That is a good option for regular indoor areas, but in garages, when the door may need to be opened in the winter, even briefly, all that warm air is almost gone and you're back to square one with that unit taking a long time to heat up a very cold garage.
How long does a tank last if you're using it every morning..I'm assuming you're in there for at least a couple of hrs every morning 5 days a week..
my opinion... 20lb tank will run for a total of about 70 hours time on low setting...
Hey Sean! New Video is up with this answered and more! Thanks for watching!

Hey Jordan, take a look at one of the comment posted below. I give a detailed run down on how long it last! 🤙🏽
how long does the propane last
One year review coming Friday!
About how much run time can you get from a 20lb tank ?
Hi Bryan! On my channel is the new video with a One Year Review and Most Asked Questions. Or you can scroll up to my pinned comment on top of the comment section. That is the link to the video as well. Thanks for watching, Bryan!
ps- what is the model number? another vid says is Nat gas only, you said both....
good question. Not sure on the model number off the top of my head. but this model has both options. on the bottom, depending which connection head you connect to, will go for either propane or NG.
You still need to make sure you have a window open a little for air ventilation. Never burn fumes in a closed up space or room😢
Hey Cheryl :) by theory you are 100% right. However, if you knew how much air escapes/enters via the gaps in the garage doors, you’d say it’s like already having three windows open 😂. Thanks for watching ❤️
about how long does that little propane tank last you?
i have another video on my channel that goes over that - take a look. Thanks for watching!!!
This video is about 9 months old. Do you still recommend this set up ? Is there anything you would change ?
Absolutely. I didn’t chat about the carbon monoxide detector, but def should have one. I have three which is a little much but that’s what I like. The fan also finally came in (the one I showed that was being shipped) and it made it 100000% better. So long story short, yes, I def recommend this set up. I used it this morning. Lol
@@carlosistribe Good stuff bro 👍 thanks for the review. I have a 2 car garage and do all of my own car maintenance so having a warm space to do oil changes and what not would be perfect.
@@OGCJ10 absolutely! Just as an FYI, be sure to go around and plug any holes/gaps that lead outside. I went around my garage door frames and saw a ton of gaps. This will make the heat escape quicker. I also threw some towels on my windows where the two sliding glass meet. A bit of expanding foam did the trick for me on the garage frame gaps. It doesn’t make the garage 100% insulated, but every bit helps.
@@carlosistribe Thanks for the tips. I'll definitely go this route. Glad I watched your video.
How long does one of those propane’s last?
Not long I bet
When you burn propane or kerosene it produces moisture! Every time you start it up you get condensation on anything metal. It sucks.
Greg, New Video is up with this answered and more! Thanks for watching!
ahh, i see the model
Can't believe you didn't try the home / garage kerosene heater they run 8-12 hours burn clean and put out insane amounts of heat 🤔
How much is that? Do you have any recommendations? I need a cheaper way of heating my home that city gas is sooo expensive.
How long dose a 20 lb tank last

Does the LNG smell much?
great question. im using propane. No odor that i can tell.
Does it vent thru wall???
No vent. This unit is ventless - One year review coming Friday!
@@carlosistribe I have had issues with propane ventless heaters putting a lot of moisture in the air...had tools rusting in garage etc...so I have been using a "Chinese Diesel" vented heater--runs on diesel fuel for days on end and vents thru the wall...cheap and no moisture. But you have a great video and installation---I suspect if you're in a very dry climate the condensation and moisture would be less of a problem...
How long does a 20 pound propane last thanks in advance I’m also looking at one of these
Great question Nolan! Mine vary a bit as sometimes I like the garage warmer than before, as well as the temp outside affecting the ambient temp. I normally workout at 6a sharp, so the day's highest temp is still closer to the lowest as opposed to the highest (usually noon). in this case, I let it run on high for 30min prior to my workout and the garage will go from ~29 degrees to 55-62 degrees i will then bring it down to low once i am in the garage. When its like this, id say about 12 hours of use. What will make the biggest difference in temperature and efficiency of your fuel is the fan. that will help heat the cold air and distribute the warm air.
I hope this helped! Peace Love and Positivity!
@@carlosistribe the 20lb tank only lasts about 12 hours? How much is the tank to fill? Sounds very expensive. Is it?
@@markbrinton6790 hey mark! If you have the exact variables I do as stated above, yeah. It’s going to be unique to everyone. I was heating a 24x24 from 20 degrees to about 55 to 65. So mine was on the highest setting until it reached that temp. Afterwards I would keep it on low until I was done working out. Lol not to mention my terrible insulation, or lack thereof.
From the trial and error, research and consulting from HVAC companies, this was the most cost effective way without full blown installing better insulation in the walls and going with a heating system that would require labor and expensive parts. Being that I only use this for 3-4 months, it’s the best solution for me. If you’re around freezing temps year round, then I’d opt to go the full route and not this if you can
. A 20lb tank refill is about $15-20 bucks. So theoretically I get between 6-12 comfortable workouts in with a tank. A little over a dollar a workout is more than reasonable for me. I’m not in that garage more than 2 hours at a clip. Remember you can run off the ambient temp for a bit and then have it crank back up when the sensor detects the temp dropped (settings 1-5 on the heater) It doesn’t have to be on 100% of the time as I do. Electrical won’t get anywhere near that cost. And actually gas with better insulation might do that. But the upfront cost will be in the thousands. So if you’re full time working in your space (I.e. 6-8hrs a day )then I would opt the more expensive route. If you’re just working out a few hours a day or a weekend warrior working on some hobbies, this is beyond reasonable.
Hopefully my over detailed response helped lol cheers!
@@carlosistribe yes it did, thank you for the reply. Take care!
Is it really loud?
good question. not at all. the residential fan i have is louder lol

I appreciate the kind words, Stan! And yes, sir! I am proud of my lineage!
same heater is 267$ now lol
Yeah this past year hasn't been good for almost anything in price. LOL!
im confused when you say it required a 100 g tank n didnt want to buy it, yet you bought it anyway n used a 20.....also pls keep mic close. thnks
great question. sorry about the Mic situation. im not really good at this filming stuff lol i bought it because i used the converter/adapter hose. the other video on my channel goes deeper into the review. thanks!
And it'll get cold in your garage and when it heats up it'll rust every piece of equipment in your garage instantly you'll watch every piece of metal equipment in your garage turn orange with rust trust me on this one
l've had this for years now. zero rust in my gym. as long as its ventilated, the moisture doesn't mess anything up. I run this everyday, so if this was true, i'd notice it by now.
Electric heater with a solar panel kit
Why not a kerosene heater
Great question - around me propane is much more readily available and simplistic to use, at least for me. It's been a true 'plug and play' method. Thanks for watching!
Problem I’ve heard about using a propane heater, is the moisture it puts in the air. You noticed it yourself with the water vapor on your weights. And with my garage being used as a woodworking shop, all my equipment and tools would start to gain rust. I say that as it’s happened to others. Wish it wasn’t an issue, or I’d be using that heating system!
Hey James - Luckily (or unluckily) my garage isn't well insulated or air tight. Because of that, moisture has not been a problem at all. And with the fan in place as an extra way to circulate air, I have yet to run into that issue. Pop in a dehumidifier into your garage. There are fairly inexpensive ones that start around to $40-$50 USD range. Without a doubt, that will definitely fix the issue, should it become one.
Thanks for watching! :)
