Is this overkill for a 1 car garage (attached) for NJ winters? Dimensions of garage: 19.5ft x 10ft.

It is very small unit that puts out a lot of heat. If your garage is insulated real good it will keep very warm. Mine heats up a well insulated garage 1100 sq ft no problem.

Is the attic insulated, and the sidewalls insulated you should be OK if yes if no. It would run a lot.

Nope. Not overkill. If anything, it just won't run as long to bring the temp up and hold at an even temperature.

I have a 300 sqft shop and it keeps it nice and warm. I assume your pole barn is much bigger. I would suggest 2 of them.

I really can't answer the question. I have a 16x24 foot garage and setting the heater on 1 and 1/2 it gets up to 70 degrees. So I don't have to set it that high. I really don't use it that often so I can't tell how a 20 lb. tank would last.

Walt, it depends on how cold your garage gets. You didn't state how insulated the area is or if the garage is attached. My garage is a large 3 car attached and well insulated garage with a 12' ceiling. When we are in the low teens (rarely) the temperature in the garage drops to the mid forty's. I'll turn the unit on in the morning and it takes about an hour to bring it up to the upper 50's. Eventually I'll run it till it hits the mid 60's and keep it there throughout the day. If your room is near 0 degrees or poorly insulated, you will need a much bigger heater. Wenatchee sounds pretty cold.... Walt, it depends on how cold your garage gets.

I have a 22x24 foot garage and it warms the room somewhat. It's 28 degrees outside and my garage is 55 degrees. I have a double garage door and there are gaps on the side though.\f1\fs26 \cf2 \cb1 \expnd0\expndtw0\kerning0\outl0\strokewidth0 \strokec2 \}

I would say it depends on how harsh your winters get. If much below freezing, to be on the safe side, I don't think I would. I live in Minneapolis where it can get down below zero so I have kept mine in a heated garage over winter.

I would agree with previous comment...it would create a cozy area but will not heat the entire garage

I don't think it's not big enough, but why not. "Lasko 3520 20" Cyclone Pivoting Floor Fan" is big enough for outdoor use for your garage use.

I have mine in a 12x20 garage. Does a great job. Is the heater blowing out heated air? If not you may want to have a electrician friend take a look.

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.

It's out in the cold, cold, detached garage. I'd guess 24" but could be slightly higher.

Long as there is no open air space to the outside yes. This puts out a lot of heat very quickly. It will not be 80* everywhere in the garage, but will in front of it and it will be comfortable and tolerable everywhere in the enclosed space.

It's definitely big enough, but unless your garage reaches freezing temperatures overnight, I don't think you need to cover the plant. I live in zone 9, near Santa Barbara, California, and though some evening temperatures reach the mid 20's, I don't cover the hydrangeas or other plants that I move inside for the winter. I do cover those I leave outside, which is why I bought the cover.

Mine works great. Three stal garage just use it to keep above freezing. It is expensive to run.

I believe that it would work for a garage. I have one in my basement and it is around 1000 square feet. I have been extremely pleased with this product.

I'm not sure what they say in the specs, but I have a 20'X24' uninsulated garage and I am a little disappointed. It was very easy to install and works great and if you are supplementing another heat source then you will be happy. Maybe if my garage was insulated I would be more pleased.

We use it as a garden shed abd storage. definately not a car garage. Its not that solid. Its a nice size but its not massively big. You can put a riding mower in it but you wont have room for too much more. I suggest bolting it to a cement slab or wood deck. I had to build a wood deck and anchor the deck down as i live in Louisiana and hurricanes would taKe that thing away. Overall, im happy with it and it looks nice.
