Menard's heater-Any Opinions?

[Jeff Sudmeier]

I have been looking for a better heater for my garage but have held off because of the cost.

Any opinions on this style heater?

Any ideas on the cost to run and how well it would heat a 2 car garage 24x24 ish?

Thanks!

Hey Jeff, I cant say much for that heater specifically, but I can say something about my Hot Dawg which is a 45000 BTU as well. It does a pretty good job at keeping things warm. My shop is 24x30 with 10ft. ceilings. It is fully insulated as well. I turned it on the other day when it was 43 and it took about 1.5 hours to get it to 65ish. If you have lower ceilings that will help. It wasnt too bad to install. My father-in-law did most of it. I would say go for it. Something is better than nothing.

Your link doesn't work so I can't tell the type of heater you are looking at. I keep my heater on all the time. It is a 18000 BTU natural gas wall mount that heats 1400 square feet with 16ft. ceilings for about $60 per month.
