best place to install the DGwH4031 model? It's going in a 20 by 30 detached one room well insulated garage/workshop. By workshop area or accross room blowing toward work area. Thanks

The fan will never blow across a room that large. The unit is good, and it can keep the room warm, but you may want to install near your work area to feel warmer.

I have my heater mounted back on the far side away from where I work, It is one less thing in my way. It does a good job heating my shop.

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.

I wouldn't place it too close to the work area as the fan is quite strong and effective. Heater works well!

I installed mine near my work area and that works just great, especially if I am going to work for a short time.

I placed mine in a corner of my shop, hung from the ceiling, about 2 feet from the walls. Fan has enough force to mix the air the length of the shop (in my case 30 feet). The unit can be easily adjusted for pointing up/down and side to side at any angle needed. My unit was placed at the opposite end from the work area and this works fine.

I am also in MN and it worked like a champ when I installed it this last january. (Garage not heated)

I live in Pa.and my wall control 30-WGL-200gvb is in my garage. It is subject to all types of weather and I have seen no change in the unit. I am very pleased with the system. But I found it to my advantage to get the more expensive style hooks.

I was VERY satisfied with this system. I no longer live where I installed it however, I plan to install it in our new garage. I believe Home Depot sells the system as well in case you want to add to your system without waiting for it to be shipped.

I have this system in my insulated garage and I put a 10x10 vent near where I hung it. Also I put a carbon dioxide detector to be safe. Heater works great!!

I put mine on when I got it and haven't had a problem. I have it hung from garage rafters. I have it on the medium setting. Shuts on and off and keeps my garage in South Jesey at about 40 even when close to zero.

I would try to. I installed my unit in a 500sqft rectangular room. Place the unit on a solid exterior wall with easy access for electrical and drainage. Mount the exterior condensor above ground with the supplied wall mount. It looks clean and will be out of the way. I did have two leaking valves that cost me to have the unit recharged after 2 months of operation. Either than that the unit is good for the price.

Hey,I ended up buying the WDEUBK10000N. So far no issues. It's build seems to be able to take more "abuse" then my last one which looked more like the WDH1U. It's quiet enough; I had to actually put it to my ear to here to see if it was on. Not sure on the temp because I don't keep it running all the time.

I use my heater in my 25'x 45' garage as a back up and to help the furnace and it provides quick heat in the morning, I only use kero you can use diesel but you will probably notice fumes, I can't take the fumes its not as bad as a torpedo heater but I myself wont do it, try it if ok then do it

The HVAC company that installed ours, hooked the electrical to our house air conditioning system's electrical and put a larger amp in the panel. We haven't had any problems with them both running at the same time, and we live in Arizona (temps are reaching 110 degrees F this summer). They never mentioned an outside disconnect. We put our in the garage, and we love it! Hope this helps.

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.

Hi Mr. Butterfield, My wife and I have our Danby Freezer in a small room in our apartment in NYC. The Danby DUF408WE Freezer is constructed so well that there seems to be no reason why it would not do perfectly well in a garage. If I had a garage, I would put the Danby Freezer in it too. Also, the Freezer is Silent when it is on! It makes a very low noise after you open the door and close it, that it sounds like it is making it airtight. The Danby Freezer has heavy duty plastic sliders that move smoothly when pushing the Freezer on a floor, they also adjust in height if a floor is a little off balanced. I feel the sliders on the Danby Freezer would not move easily on a dry cement floor, unless it was painted to a durable and smooth finish. Therefore, I would protect the floor that you put the freezer on from dry cement, corrosion and dampness. I would set the Danby Freezer on top of a 1/4" inch thick Plexiglass plastic flooring or something similar. The Danby Freezer is easy to clean and defrosts rather quickly. You can place a small one inch tall long baking pan set on the floor with the door open and any water draining out can be caught in the pan. There are no ice chunks forming inside the Freezer either. It just has a frosty coating or snowy look around the walls and elements inside the Freezer that melt off the interior when it is defrosting. The Danby DUF408WE Freezer is the Best Freezer I ever had! You will not be disappointed. Best regards and Happy Holidays for the New Year! ~ Marc

the unit has a heat source so it doesn't seem to matter the temp of the room (above freezing). I have it in my garage and it is often in the 40 degree range. The unit does put out heat when operating (when removing humidity--if humidity is at or lower than your setting the heat turns off but fan continues to operate). You should be fine. I love this thing. I moved from Eastern WA where humidity is hardly ever above 50%, to Western Wa where it is in the 80-99% most of the time. I am allergic to mildew/molds etc and this unit keeps my home dry and no musty scents. I was prepared to purchase a second one for the upstairs but this dandy unit keeps both floors perfect.

Paul and Castaway are exactly right, the exhaust from the car would cause this to go off constantly. However, if the garage is only used as a playroom and has any device using natural gas (e.g. water heater, clothes dryer, etc) then it will be a benefit to install it there.

There is some guidance in the user guide (should be available from grizzly website). Key points would be away from walls to allow for better air movement (so somewhat central) and where it won't be in the way of working. To avoid having a fan blowing on you, I'd suggest having the output point away from common work areas.
