You know it's time to get yourself a garage heater when you find that you cannot actually do much work in the garage during the cold winter months.Adding heaters to attached garages is comparatively easy as all you have to do is add a heating duct to the garage.If your garage is a detached one, don't worry as you still have various options.
The most popular and easiest option you have are electric garage heaters. Small areas that require less heating and garages where it is difficult to fit hot water and gas garage heaters are better options for fitting electric heaters.
Electric heaters should be used only if you are sure you have sufficient power to use it without any breaks.To be on the safer side, it is always better to read the power specs of the heater before using it, even though a 100 amp service is usually sufficient.
Electric heaters are easy to install, can be easily used after installation and are usually available in the compact form. These heaters are practically maintenance free, especially if compared to other types of heaters. Most of the portable heaters found today are electric garage heaters.
Some garage heaters will come with a mounting kit so you can have the exact equipment for making sure that your heater is placed in a convenient out of the way place. Depending on your garage, you can place your heater either on the wall or the ceiling. Obviously if you have an overhead opening garage door, it may not be possible to place your heater on the ceiling. You can choose a model which needs to be wired directly to your electrics or you can get one that has a plug which can just be plugged into an available socket.
