In Response To: Shop: Garage Heater (Ben Van Enk)

You must have read my mind. Last night I almost posted the same question. I've been looking at a "radiant" heater (see link) to heat my 24 x 24 x 10 uninsulated Canadian garage, over short periods. I don't know if that's the same thing as an infrared heater. The advantage of the radiant heater, I suppose, is it wouldn't stir up dust, because there's no blower. And it is supposedly efficient because it doesn't heat the air - only objects. That would be good for curing epoxy, I suppose. But I don't know the answers and am seeking experienced advice, if any's out there.

: Any suggestions on a cost effective heater for a 24' x 24' x 10'H pretty well
: insulated garage? Does anyone have experience with the infared heaters, or
: should I look for a blower unit? Any ideas would be greatly apprceciated.

Wall insulation is worthless with air infiltration
