That's a lot of space for this heater or any space heater in the 1500 watt range. Don't think this heater will keep your garage very warm.

I think you will be surprised at how well this heater will work in that space. I use it in a room that is 15x20 and we have it on the lowest setting most of the time and stay at 68 degrees easily. It's a fabulous heater.

Probably not well. Many factors need to be considered such as the ambient temperature and how much you would like to raise it. 1,500 watts or 5120 BTU's per hour would raise your room with average insulation only 10 degrees F. It would make you feel warmer having it next to you while you were out there. Here's a link to an on-line calculator that you might find helpful. http://www.calculator.net/btu-calculator.html

I've had my garage (400sqft) down to 70 degrees. The outside temp today was 92 (heat index of 101). I would check the insulation above the bedroom and other possible factors, maybe even a bad unit.

Lori,does the wall aim towards the large garage door or is it somewhere where there has a dead wall? The heat would be read as a signature that is not normally present in the space. If so then this should work... if at the big garage door then this might have issues until the heat signature moves fairly close to the unit itself....

This is a power vent unit so you can vent it horizontally through the wall, or vertically. I suggest you go on line and download the installation manual before you but it to be sure it will work for your situation. I have mine vented horizontally through the wall which is about three feet from the unit. My garage is 26 X 24 with an upstairs storage area. Very little insulation in the Chicago area and the unit keeps a constant 70 degrees. Hope this helps.

I would say probably not very well if your garage gets that hot. This isn't an air conditioner, it's just a fan so if you want something that can cool down a garage that hot, this isn't the fan for you.It will probably feel like the hot air is just blowing around your garage.

Lol, given it is a garage heater yes it works. It heats my 440 sq foot 2 car garage with ease it has insulation in the ceiling. However it requires a 240v 30 amp outlet. Should be ok with no insulation too. It will surprise you - should maintain 65-70 degrees on high with no insulation in temps to around 20. I usually keep it on half thermostat to take the chill off unless I'm working on a project, then I turn it way up and heats the 440 sq ft garage to 70-75 in about 10 minutes from 50. Will work just fine for your small room. Keep the thermostat on auto and desired temp if using constantly as this should help with your electric bill. Lol, given it is a garage heater yes it works.

It is amazing for the garage. I have a two car garage, 22 feet by 20 feet and it can take the garage from about 48 degrees to 70 degrees in about 45 minutes. Afterward place it on automatic mode with the thermostat set to about 3/4 and it will keep the garage toasty enough to work in a tee shirt on just about any project. Hope this helps..........Bob

I have mine on the wall in a similar insulated oversize double garage/shop. I use it in conjunction with a ceiling dust filter to circulate the air. It was 32 or so yesterday and it warmed the shop to about 60+ in a couple of hours. I think good circulation helps since I have a 10 foot ceiling. My filter instructions for good circulation suggest installation on one side blowing to force the air around in a circle.

My window is also 22" wide X 39". I had to add a 4 1/2" filler vertically along one side of my window. I used a piece of 3/8" plywood. I'm able to remove the filler for the winter months. It cools a little over 500 sq ft.nicely.good luck.

Hello, I use my Mr Heater to heat a 16 x 26 area with no problem. But I have it insulated pretty good. I want to say I could run around 6 hours on a 20 lb tank? If your garage is insulated, you would be shutting it off part time. The best way is to run it thru a thermostat. TSC stores use to sell a thermostat the would work on one of these? It's a nice little heater that you would fine is pretty handy to have around.Hope this helps,RGH

Our garage is 24x26 one story and this heater heats it up from cold to 68 in about 10 min. There is a btu formula available on the internet.

Not very good for this type of application. It is better for a room that is well insulated. 16 X 23 may be too much area in a basement for this type of heater.

If the temp is below 50 degrees, this thing will warm the garage slightly...however, it will not work well in a colder garage.

It works fine in my home. I have one electrical panel, thus all the common wires are served from one source which is what makes it work. It would work to a detached garage as long as its wiring is from the home's electrical panel.

I put this in a 50 x 50 shop with 13' ceilings, 2 overhead doors, very well insulated with a spray foam sealed insulation on walls and roof. Works great.

It'll take some time, depending on the temperature when you turn it on, but it'll cool a large family room/dining room easily - maybe 13x24. It takes it a long time to reach the other rooms. I sometimes use it in my 3-car garage when I'm out there working in the summer.

We built a 12'x10' office in our warehouse and insulated it very well. The heat works great and the ac works good considering it can get up to 115 degrees here in the summer. It is a quality product. I think it should work for you but it very rarely gets below freezing here.
