Thank You so much I was lucky to find one at a used outlet for only $35.00 but was a little unsure about the Load 1and Load 2 but at 6:05 you explained both were positive power and was confident I can do this without being shocked and learning the Electric Boogaloo.
Just got one for my garage and this video really helps me out when it comes to hooking it up the proper way, and with the nice conduit. I gotta get myself some of that for mine.
How to use the automatic thermostat? Instructions say to turn it on high and when it reaches desired temp to turn it off and the heater will switch on and off to maintain that temp. Its not working for me
Hum that is strange how I set mine is I turn the thermostat to about 1/2 and if that is to cold or warm I just adjust from there but it will always turn on and off maybe you are not meeting the desired temp in you space but it should turn off and on..
It works great for the most part if gets really cold say under 10deg than it will have hard time keeping it above 60 but for most of the time it heats the whole shop pretty dang good.
It "used to be" 220V. Back in the day, 110V was standard power delivery in the USA, then it was bumped to 115V, and now 120V is standard. So 2 legs used to be 220V, then 230V, and now 240V. Old habits die hard, I still hear people say 120V and 220V all the time. All good.
I just got mine and discovered they are NOT serviceable if you ever have to replace the thermostat or selector switch. on mine, I added a 24 volt sequencer to attach a remote thermostat. had to rethink the way the sequencer was wired into the circuit the only parts that come out easily was the indicator lamps and the fan.... the heating element will not disconnect easily with out damage. same with the thermostat and selector switch. thought Id share that with you so you are aware that if you ever have to repair it, it will just be easier to just buy another entire unit.
Thanks yeah I agree at this price point if I ever have an issue with it I would just replace the unit so far mine has been running for months with no issues..
I am not sure where you got that from but on my instructions it recommends a 30amp circuit breaker, in all reality 5000 watts at 240 volts equals about 20amps even with the fan I don't see this heater drawing over 22amps.
@@TheElectronMan I just bought the same heater, book says a 32-40amp circuit protection device but yes it only draws 22 amps on high so I’m sure it’s fine
Luckily I have not had any issues with mine as it still going strong for 99.00 I figure I have already got my moneys worth if something happens I will just buy another and then have spare parts..

Yes on 240 they are both positive or also referred to as hot, glad I was able to help you out...
Just purchased one and waiting on the arrival, hopefully it's still holding up for you. Thanks for the video
Yes it has been great for the price I can not complain the only thing that has went out on it is the light which I didn't need anyway....

Appreciate your review! Ordered two of these off Amazon for my 56x34 pole barn just to knock the chill off on the sub-freezing days.
That should do the trick I have had some 20 deg. days here and I am running one in a 30x30 shop and it keeps it around 70 degrees if I want.
I've got a heater very similar if not the same thing in the basement. It works very well keeping it above freezing in winter
Thanks for the review. Just picked one up on clearance from Bed Bath and Beyond for $29.99. Looking forward to installing it !
Hope you enjoy it! What a bargain.

Did you put the hinge on the door? Mine doesn't have that
Interesting no it came that way they must have changed it on the new ones...
Can these be used inside of a house?
I am sure they could you just need 220 volts handy to hook it up.
It was undersized for 900 sq ft. Did it work ok?

Just installed this model in my garage. It was $80 and it gets my garage so hot very quickly
They are great for the price; you just can't beat it.
I have one in my 1 car garage it keeps it very warm I love it.
Bed bath and beyond $75
They do a great job don't they
You got that same exact heater at bed Bath and beyond?
Never mind… I see that they do sell them. Never would’ve thought that.
Can I run this all winter? Or do I have to shut it off?
@@ftmftank1 it has a thermostat so you can set it and walk away
why do you keep saying 220v when its 240volts? are you in canada or usa were its 110volts?
Just a bad habit as I always think of wall AC as 110 volts when in fact it is 120 volts but yes you are totally correct it is 240 volts not 220...

Excellent Video. Thank you!!
Thank you and you are quite welcome :)
hi thansk for reviewing the heater I might by a heater i dont know, does that heater make the electric bill go up ?
Not that bad to be honest not much more than a normal space heater would cost.
Does the power light always stay on even when dial is off?
Yes mine does... Guess it's to let you know that it has live power run to it.

Your breaker size is smaller than they want 32-40amp

I got mine through Home Depot, $84.00!
Nice I can not believe they can sell them for that they are great heaters..
Got one on amazon today. $80
@@yourmomma3132 not bad, thats a great price! home depot is out of them and now they want $88.00!
It's a piece of shit! Comfort Zone prides themselves on having NO SERVICEABLE PARTS AVAILABLE! Try to find a fan replacement!
Luckily I have not had any issues with mine as it still going strong for 99.00 I figure I have already got my moneys worth if something happens I will just buy another and then have spare parts..
@@TheElectronMan there ya go less than 100 and if it quits 1,2 years whatever you got spares parts!
