Garage Heaters

In today’s society where maximizing space is so important, you use a garage for many things besides just a place to park your vehicle or store stuff. The modern garage has several roles such as car maintenance, hobby room, workshop, and even a family room. Unlike your homes that are temperature controlled, garages rarely have heating and as a result are vulnerable to cold weather, an uncomfortable place to spend time in and not a good work environment. Safe and efficient residential garage heaters have changed this for homeowners and they are now able to comfortable use their garage year round.

There is a large variety of garage heaters on the market today including:

• Propane garage heater


• Gas garage heater


• Natural gas garage heater


• Electric, portable garage heater


• Lenox garage heater

Selecting a garage heater suitable for your needs depends upon the frequency of use and size of the work area. An efficient and compact electric garage heater is perfect for a smaller garage or one that you seldom use. With today’s advanced technology, a small electric garage heater no longer uses a huge amount of electricity. You now get maximum comfort with minimum electricity.

Natural gas garage heaters work well in larger garages, which get a lot of use as hobby rooms, workspaces, or for other purposes. Garage gas heaters are available in standing units or overhead heaters for a garage. You must have all gas garage heaters properly vented to the outside, as there are fumes from the gas. It is best to have a professional install your gas heater for optimum safety.

Propane garage heaters have come a long way over the last few years. There are now some units available, which require no chimney or venting and have a concealed flame, making them safer for garage workshops. A propane heater is very inexpensive to run, comes in several sizes, and some models have an adjustable thermostat so it does not continuously run.

Heated garages are becoming a growing trend in today’s society and more than just a parking place for your vehicle. Whether you purchase a garage heater 120v or a natural gas garage heater, with a heated garage you have additional living space for a workshop, hobby activities, pets, home businesses and warm storage. Garage heaters keep the garage floor dry and warm, melt the ice and snow from vehicles, and increase your homes market value.
