Industrial Fan-Forced Heater - 5,600 Watts, 19,107 BTU, 240 Volt, Model Number PH936

This heater is amazing! I have a two car garage with 16 foot ceilings and uninsulated but dry-walled. I tried a kerosene heater and a Propane Salamander heater, both had fuel that were two expensive. I had a 220 volt outlet in my garage so this heat was plug and play with little expense. this heater has a switch that allows you to turn it to a level that keeps the temperature where you want it. It does not blow out super "hot" temperature heated air but it blows out a lot of really warm heated air in volume so it will not burn anything up close but it will heat up your area really well. I have read that this heater is noisy... "Yes", it is, but the noise is because it blows out so much volume of heated air. It is the fan moving that makes the noise, nothing else. I can't say enough good things about this heater. I would buy this heater again and might for my basement.

Got this 1-18. It worked great for 2 winters but now only heats to a certain point then stops, no matter how high you set the thermostat, even wide open, it runs a couple of minutes then shuts off. So it does cycle off and on, just not correctly. Still doing that today, 2-23-20. I think the thermostat is bad. These are made in Canada. Contacted the mfg. and the part is only about $10 but they want $30 to handle and ship it. No thanks. I just can't pay $40 for a $9.80 part that might fix it. Also the price of the same heater has gone up nearly $50 since I bought it.

I use this to heat my shop here in the north country. It keeps my insulated shop warm at outside temperatures above 15 degrees F. The shop is 600 sq ft. I also use a gas heater to help initially warm the shop as the electric heater alone would take to long. Once the temperature is above 50 degrees F, I turn off the gas heater.

I did not purchase this heater from Amazon. I purchased from Northern Tools. After the warranty period (approximately a dozen usages) the heater shot sparks and fire out of the enclosure. Upon investigation the wires inside (see picture) had melted and shorted. Luckily I was present when this occurred, or my garage could have caught on fire.I contacted the Manufacturer (Mecanair inc. out of Canada) and they would not do anything for me. At one time they said they would sell me parts and then said to just throw it out because it's unsafe to use. Wow, these units should be recalled. If there would have been a fire they would have been contacted by my Insurance Company and it could have cost them thousands. Very short sided customer service approach to this defective unit.I also contacted Northern Tool and they refused to help. >>>>Stay clear of heaters from this manufacturer<<<<<

This unit heats pretty well. I have about 850 square feet in my garage. My work space is an area about 15 x 24 at the back of the garage. The work space has no physical separation from the rest of the garage. I am in Colorado on the eastern plains so the weather can drop below zero for extended periods. My garage is fully insulated including the garage doors. The ceiling is 12 feet high. I have this unit hanging from the ceiling at about 9 feet above the floor about 8 feet from one end and I have it tilted down at about 25 degrees and aimed right through the center of my work space. It takes about an hour to raise the temperature about 20 degrees where I am working. Over time it raises the temperature enough to work in shirt sleeves even when the outside temp drops into the teens. It will never warm to living room temps but it is very adequate for a work shop.

As an alternative to gas heat, this works great. It won't heat as fast as gas-sourced heat, but it does bring the temperature up in a small room rather quickly with good fan action.

I have my exercise area set up in the small side of a 3 car garage.I turn it on when I get up in the morning and in about an hour the garageis warm and toasty. I live in Las Vegas and it got down to the 20's for abouta week. During that week it took about 1.5 hr to warm.If there is a down side, I had to have an outlet installed because it requires more than 110 volts.

Only lasted one winter
