I have a finished 2 car garage with 8 foot ceilings. Will this heater work with 8' high ceilings or will it be hazardous to the ceiling? Thanks

This unit is recommended to be installed in buildings with 12 to 15 feet high ceilings. Installing it on a 10 foot high ceiling would not be recommended. Further the unit needs the following clearances to combustibles distances : 34in. from ceiling, 30in. from sides of heater, 30in. from back and 68in. from the base.

You will not want to use this heater with that low of a ceiling. It generates massive heat for quite a few feet above the unit. I installed it and had to take it down and return it. I purchased a forced air unit instead. The forced air unit work great!

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.

I don't know how combustible the fumes are but since you're doing a basement floor I'm guessing ventilation won't be a good as a garage so I'd contact the manufacturer. I will say that my husband turned the pilot light for the water heater off over night when he applied the product. The next morning he lit the pilot with no issues. We left the man door open all night and the overhead door open 1" to help it dry and vent. I just love the look.

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 have 10ft ceiling I mounted the heater from 4- 2ft threaded rod That go throught ceiling to angle iron for support> Which makes the heater hang 18in below ceiling 0n the suppourt bracket that came with heater if you want the heater 1 in from ceiling no extra equipment but mounting bolts is needed.With the right Thermostat that has a AC setting only fan will blow \After reading Shurail comments I have never tryed to run fan without heater running. will try later today . have a HUNTER FAN in pole barn for summer fan

I would give it a 8 in my room over the garage with a narrow 5 ft. area between cieling and roof. I recall 8-10 ft and enough to locate the solar panel near the vent and you can always add more. The connections are the key, be sure to make them fool proff yourself and tape over them after.

This is a VERY good heater. I am using it a 400 square foot garage it heats very well regardless of the temperature outside very efficiently . That said I know it will heat the area that you will be using it in. However the fan that is on this heater does not produce a large air flow. It is basically designed to move the heat away from the heater with very little air flow. What I would recommend is to buy a few small floor fans to move the air throughout the cabin. I am not sure there is a heater on the market that would provide enough air flow to provide the cabin with uniform heat

It will heat a building 600 sq. ft.. If your pole barn is not over that square footage, it should work. It also depends if the building is insulated, is it drafty, how cold does it get and how windy does it get...these are things you will have to consider. In my opinion the high ceilings would mean it might take longer to heat. It would come down to if and how well it is insulated and how air tight is it? Hope this helps.

That would depend on the outside temperature, height of the ceiling and thickness of home insulation. I turn on air-conditioning when it's 84F outside, so I haven't experimented with heating any room to that temperature, however I can get my similar-sized room with a 12-ft. ceiling (at the peak) up to 70F on a chilly day. I wouldn't want to use these heaters as a main heat source under extreme conditions--at least not for long, and use mine as back-up assistance to our LP gas furnace in winter as well as for taking the chill off on cold spring or fall mornings.

I've 8 Ft ceilings as well. The fan hangs down 12" from ceiling giving you 7'. My fan hangs over the kitchen table and I've plenty of room under the fan. I think you would be fine using this fan.

I have mine installed in a garage with 14 ft ceiling and it works. When fully lowered the pull rope however is probably 5 feet off the floor however. So if you're short that may be a concern.

The ceiling in my main bath is 8 feet & it works fine but is a bit 'shaky'. I wouldn't go higher than that.

It depends on the humidity you're at, and the humidity you're trying to get. I have a 2100 square foot house with high ceilings, and it makes a difference, but I'm also only doing like a 35% humidity in the winter... and I'm not really sure I ever get to 35% humidity, I just know it's definitely doing work.I would really recommend something bigger, as your house heater would likely allow for something bigger anyway. However, having one or two of these installed isn't a waste of time.

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.

I ordered two Mr Heaters for my 30 X 30 garage. They were professionally installed by the propane gas company .i have very high ceilings in the garage. I use the heaters to warm the space. The heaters will start and stop automatically. I am happy with the product. They did screech when they were first installed. The pressure had to be adjusted.

I use it in a 10 x 30' x 10' ceiling screened in patio and it's perfect. Don't know how big your garage is, but with your 25' ceiling you might want to consider a slightly larger one, maybe 50,000 but even with a ceiling exhaust I would still crack open your garage door an inch or two to be on the safe side. The heater is a little louder than I expected, but isn't bothersome to me. I think all of them are louder, kinda like a tiny jet engine. You'll want to use a 20# propane tank at LEAST! Hope this is useful.

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.
