What heater??

[Jamin_00]

Need to buy a heater capable of heating my garage, no my workshop as it's now known ;)

Extensive works but it's nearing completion :D

Got a little fan heater which is ok at the moment but I know that soon it won't cope so ideally looking for a gas heater but open to suggestions as se of you must have some good ones.

It's a standard size garage and all the gaps etc are in the process of being sealed so this will help loads.

Any ideas? Where to buy etc??

:cheers2:

a super sir gas heater is good Ben but it still needs ventilation m8

[Jamin_00]

Not ideal really as I don't want to gas myself in there :D

As said Gas ok, but needs ventilation unless you buy a balanced flue one, and put the flue through the wall.

My garage is a double, and I use an electric fan heater, but it is about 450-500mm long and 100mm high! Still 3 Kw, but can get very warm in there! I do also use a de-humidifier all year round to stop rust forming! Works a treat. Another thing to do if you have the head room is to buy 1-2inch of builders celertex or similar and then 22mm chipboard/Stirling board to walk on. A warm floor is fantastic, and will keep you really warm.

I have some balanced flu heaters you can have if you want them. Ill post a pic Tommorrow if you like. Sort out collection and thier yours.
Quite compact units.

Or do what Callum did at the RCHA Flyin.

In his little one man tent at about 2 in the morning he was cold so he decided to fire up his 600 nitro for a few minutes so that he could warm his hands on the muffler! Nearly choked to death, greasy nitro lining to the tent, baled out and got even colder! Lol

we use infra red heaters at work and they chuck out loads of heat.

[Kwickkwack]

I have an oil filled electric convection heater with a thermostat
This coming time of year I leave it in 24/7 on a low setting just to keep the damp out, when I want to work in there I use a small calor gas heater and that just tops up the heat.

Cheers all

Any links?

tubular heaters connected to a thermostat, low power consumption and will keep the room at a constant temperature, wall mount low level, use a few around the room and will keep it damp free too.
