- Good heater for the money - hopefully will last several heating seasons -
By Jason Brent
- I had reservations about buying this heater, due to the lower price. I paid $139.00 locally at a Fleet Supply store. The other better ones were closer to $300.00. I figured i'd try one and see. Turns out to be a pretty good unit so for.. Hook up was easy.. I mounted mine on garage ceiling, garage is 30x30x10. Well insulated. Minnesota. It will mainly be a quick recovery unit. I have floor heat but isn't fully up and running yet.. I bypassed the factory thermostat and used a line voltage wall mounted one for temp control.. Otherwise, I would be climbing the ladder each time to change temp.. The unit is surprisingly quiet. The only reason for the 4 star rating is when the unit shuts off there is "clanking" that goes on for about 20-30 seconds.. I don't know if its the fan or the elements. The unit is level where it is mounted.. Doesn't seem to be a deal breaker.. The wiring schematics are not real friendly as far as jumpering to change wattage. I left mine at 5,000 watts.. If I wanted to keep my garage at 70 I would probably install one more of these.. I just may yet if I can get another one on sale. I hope they last for more than a few years.. I'm real tired of the throw-away game with products today.. The only good thing is it's half the price of the other ones with the same rating, so I can do a 2 to 1 purchase and be even if needed.. The only other thing I didn't like is that you wire this from the top vs from the bottom like many others.. After you have mounted the unit, it's hard to access the top if it's close to the ceiling. I wired mine on the bench first. The hole they want you to feed 10 gauge wire thru is a joke.. It's like 3/8 inch.. I used the hole where I removed the Thermostat from, and just made it bigger.. If you are going to run this at 5k watts you need 10 gauge wire.. Double check your local electric code, as if you wire this for lower power you may be able to wire with #12, but some codes say it needs to be wired for what the unit is rated at, incase someone would change the jumper to the higher setting in the future.. All in all, this seems to be a pretty good buy for a garage heater.. I now just learned this model is being discontinued.. I have no idea why.. Hopefully not for quality issues..
