We live in an above garage apartment, poorly insulated, with a separate living areas. About 500-650 sqft, would this heater alone do the job? In NC.

I would recommend you use 2 600W heaters for such a big room that is not insulated at all. These heaters are the safest available ones and this supplier is the only to offer 600W. If I were you I would purchase 3 600W heaters and install them around the room

No, it will keep the chill out of the air but when it gets really cold it will not do the job. It does a good job heating a small bedroom with insulation.

I only used the heater for one night to take the chill off, and it did, our unit, the 12000 btu, cooled a 2100 sq ft house on a low setting of 70 and the house was at 67 degrees. I think it will do it in that small space, I am very well insulated with spray foam and 10 in thick walls, we do not have a furnace, in Iowa/Nebraska!

This heater works best in a closed off room versus trying to heat an entire house. I use mine in master (20x20) bedroom over top garage. It has no problem keeping the room around 72 degrees. The thermostat on unit is off by 5 degrees for some reason.

I doubt that this unit could do much in a space as large as a single car garage, even if the garage was well insulated.

The heater works very well for me. I installed it in a 2 bay garage with 15 foot ceiling where I can work on my cars with a 4 post lift. Even on the coldest days the unit will heat the garage to 68/69 degrees within a half an hour.

This heater has two heat settings. I believe they are 600 & 1200 watts. It would depend on what the outside temperature is and how warm you'd like to keep your garage. If you just want to keep the temperature above freezing during very cold weather...yes it probably would. However if your desire is to keep your garage at 65 degrees when the outside temperature is 25 degrees, then this particular heater does not produce enough BTU's.

Heater would most likely warm a 650 sq. ft. space. The blower does not remain on continuously.

Really depends on the space and insulation. At max output this heater produces 60,000 but/hour. You can figure out the heating arrangement here:http://www.calculator.net/btu-calculator.html I use it in a semi-insulated garage that is 1000 sq/ft and it brings it up from 25 to 60 in about 15 minutes on high.

I use mine to heat a (40'x50') 2000 square foot garage. My walls are 12 feet high with a 17 foot center. This heater warms the whole garage so I can work comfortably. I shut it off when it is warm enough to work (about an hour). Since my entire garage is insulated, it holds the heat for a couple of hours. In a one car garage, it will cook you. The unit is simple and very lightweight but requires a 100lb propane cylinder to operate properly. Seems to be a bit much for a one car garage. Maybe a smaller BTU unit which will operate on a 20lb tank might be a better choice for you.

that's close to the size of my outside garage and yes it will...very good heater..

That is a hard question to answer as it would depend on the climate, but under moderate weather conditions I believe it would certainly make a difference in the garage. When set on high, it sits there and radiates a very good amount of heat. If possible I would position it under the bedroom so as the heat rises it would assist that area.

This heater works well with its fan blowing the heat, but how well for a garage will depend on how large your garage and it's placement, I would think. Good luck.

We used it to heat approx 400 sf of garage space. I don't think it will get to the high temp you are looking for.

I heat 900 square feet insulated garage in bitter cold northern Minnesota on the 1st setting. I have had to turn it up to 2nd setting for some people to be comfortable. Its a great heater very happy with it.

We use ours to heat a 500 sq ft space and it does the job. Hope this helps.

I heat a 24 x 24 garage with 10' ceiling. Works great, but a bigger heater would be advised for a 30x40 building. Also depends on your location and what you have for heat loss.

I have a 600 sq ft apartment that has wall electric heat. I do not like the wall heat so I bought 3 of these heaters. One is by the front door, one by the kitchen door and the other down the hallway. They have 3 different heating options and you can set the temperature. I find them to be very effective for my needs and I live in the NW so we get lots of rain and cold winters.
