We recommend a ceiling mounted gas fired forced air unit garage heater some installers recommend infrared shop heaters because they heat objects instead of air.
Heat and air units for garage.
Know the size of your garage.
Today s window units are energy efficient capable of providing air and heat and easy to install in a weekend.
The average garage size of 20 20 feet is a total of 400 sq ft which a 9 000 12 000 btu unit would heat and cool nicely.
Another big difference is the initial cost.
With forced air heat the air is warmer at the ceiling and cooler at your feet.
Lennox garage heaters provide you with an easy and energy efficient solution for making your garage or workspace more comfortable and usable.
The best garage heater.
Most forced air units cost half as much as low intensity infrared tube heaters.
This will trump your efforts to cool the area.
You ll be warmed and so will the floor if it s free of vehicles.
With a properly installed vent the hot air can travel directly from the unit through the vent and out of the garage.
And a forced air heater will take longer to reheat the space after the garage door has been opened and shut.
Of course how hot the temperature gets will be a factor when choosing how big a unit to get.
If you ve got a standard sized window in your garage you could have heat and air conditioning for well under 1 000 with minimal effort.
