What is a Garage Heater?
Lots of people use their garages as workrooms, playrooms or as an additional living or seating area. The trouble is that most garages have concrete floors and are relatively cold during the winter months. This may make them impractical for most uses except for storage of extra items or cars. To address this issue, people may purchase a garage heater to help provide some extra warmth. There are numerous things to consider when selecting a garage heater. Many of them require electricity to run, though some run on propane or tap into a home’s natural gas line. The way heaters are installed also represents some differences. There are wall mount, hanging, or free standing types. Larger heaters and the ones that use propane or natural gas usually require ventilation, and wall mount and hanging heaters need to be installed carefully. Free standing heaters don’t have to be installed. However they tend not to be as effective and need to be placed carefully in order to avoid potential accidents
