120V single family home garage heater

[hhsting]

I have single family home garage that has 120V outlet on ceiling. I am looking for heater for the garage.

1. Does any one know of any good ceiling heater that they used that provide heat in garage during function.

A 120V heater that plugs into standard receptacle will likely not heat a garage noticeably.

You would have to run a circuit, but I have this one. Puts off a good amount of heat.

There's a real science to spatial heating. No I haven't ever got into it! The paradox of perimeters is about endless!
In your case 120V is eye pleasing, 240V is really working.
Hillbillly's on to something!

115*15=1725W = 5,885 btu/hr. Say 20 ft by 20 ft garage with R11 all around (incl floor), If no doors ever opened and perfect seals, will hold to 70F with outside temp at 12F.
No insulation, roll up leaky door, will hold to 70F at an outside temp of 60 (yep sixty) if lucky........

That Northern unit needs a 40A breaker, will keep a leaky garage at 70F when perhaps 40 F outside, cost of $$$$$$$$$

There's a real science to [space] heating. ... The paradox of perimeters is about endless! ...

It may be "real" science, but it's nothing an average high-school kid can't figure out.
There's an indoor temperature, an outdoor temperature, a ΔT, (temperature difference) and various materials with individual heat-transfer properties.
There's a lot of confusion in the HVACR biz because Americans refuse to use a consistent set of measuring units, (the HVACR biz actually still uses Roman numerals!) but once you become proficient with (or set up a spreadsheet for) measurement-unit conversion, it's pretty straightforward.

A good basic book on the topic is Charlie Wing's From The Walls In.

Science !


I never had to deal with the equation of this trade.
I was told by a friend once that the equation looked like one in a TV show of a Lecture Board - filled.
All plug in's and that frankly a 5th grader could do it (now).

Enjoy your ( heated ) space.
