shop heat

[Sackett2]

I chose a diesel house heater off craigs list for 300.- in good shape. We had tried two other diesel hearers but they had issues. As the property isn't plumed for NG, and didn't want a high electric bill, this suited us. a couple hundred dollars of diesel lasts 3-4 years, as the usage is when its real cold or need a bit of heat. we have it on a master switch so we can be sure it's off when not needed; and in about 10 minutes it can take that frozen shop up to 60 degrees.. If I'm going to do some auto painting, hit the master switch and i'm safe there too.

I love the Edenpure - they have a special advertising technology that yields 3000% profit.

Yes but they have their expenses...they have to pay some radio guys a lot of money to put their reputations behind it.......at least I would assume they do, nobody in their right mind would get on a nationally syndicated radio show and sell this thing otherwise. I am ashamed that our local Ace Hardware sells these things. I will never go in that store again. They are taking advantage of the uneducated and poorest sector of our society.

I put a propane furnace in when I built my barn. I have a 25' x 30' area closed off as a shop and well insulated. Hooking up an old wood boiler in the other end.

When I worked in my 24x24 foot insulated garage this heater Cadet The Hot One 4000 Watt 240 Volt Garage Heater - RCP402S at The Home Depot heated it pretty well. Usually warmed up in less than 30 mins. It's a little small for my 30X40 shop I built. They also make a 5000 watt.
