Is this strong enough to cool down a 1 car garage? I live in Arizona where it gets HOT! (the garage can get up to 125 degrees when the sun is on it)

I don't think it will work well for this application. I have used it to heat and cool a small bedroom (350 sq ft) as a supplement to heat and central air. I think it adds/subtracts about five degrees maximum. So I would not think it would be effective at all in a larger space with no other HVAC source - especially your heat!

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.

I would have to say no. We bought it to place in our garage, turned office and it was too loud and can be messy. It just didn't cool nearly like they said it would. We live in the Houston area, and as you know it's very hot and humid here too. I wouldn't waste my money :)

no I don't think so..we have had it on for a year and it is bubbling and coming loose. We don't see much difference in the temp of the garage.

I keep mine in an unused bedroom we have turned into a store room. Living in Texas it's not really an option to keep the cooler in the garage, at least not for about 9 months of the year. The air conditioning is usually about 74 degrees in my home and the cooler has little to no effort in keeping an internal temp of 52-55 degrees. Even though the door is supposed to be UV protected I make sure and keep the curtains drawn as to keep sunlight from hitting the door directly.

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.

My fan works perfect for almost a year and a half in a Florida garage. Hot as blazes and on low speed. High speed would suck the doors in. No sign of rust either.

good point. this will be my first summer using it. it did wonders for the winter. my bedroom and bathroom over the garage hit 80 degrees for the first time since I owned the house. I will definitely keep an eye on the temps this summer. Worst case I should delicately be able to remove the insulation for the summer. Shoot me a message in August. I will let you know if my house burned down. lol

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.

I use mine in the garage so I can't really tell and I haven't noticed if the garage is warmer.

I use it on my dashboard but rarely have my car parked in prolonged sunlight as I park in a covered parking garage. The Texas heat has not had any affect on it though.

I would say, yes. I know mine has been effective and I store mine in a garage where the temps reach into the high 90's in the summer.

it work great in my garage. but a open porch, and real cold may not work. i get it up to 80 in my garage. and i love it.

I use my fan in my garage. I am located in Southeast Georgia, and relative humidity is always very high. I have not had any problems with its operation or with it rusting. I am glad I bought this fan, and I think you will be happy with the performance and the esthetics. I would recommend it for under a porch awning.

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'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.

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.

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.
