Re: HEAT!! (for your feet...and hands...in the garage)

Yes. Pretty expensive unit, then a lot more labor to install, pipe, and exhaust it. More efficient, yes.

Re: HEAT!! (for your feet...and hands...in the garage)

You will never regret having heat in that space. Even sheets of the pink rigid board insulation between the rafters would make a big difference. As budget allows, do your garage door first, if it isn't already insulated. That thin metal does an excellent job of transferring heat outdoors & freez...
