I have a 480 sqft un-insullated garage. Will this heat it above 60? I live in Michigan so it gets below zero out and is in the 20-30 all winter.

It will heat the room running at full blast. If you have a high ceiling it may not work. These heaters are also dangerous in air tight rooms - burn up oxygen...

I am also in Michigan! We used it indoors in an unheated sunroom-no insulation and surrounded by windows without stormwindows and it kept it pretty warm..BUT.. It had after about 2-3months use -a gas leak from a manufacturer problem inside which is almost impossible to access. DTE told us they could not fix it! The company had me pay to return it. Sent us a "rebuilt" one and it had the same problem!! We set it out for the trash!!!! Company did not even try to help us out so we took a hit on the cost of the unit.

i use it to heat a 1,000 ft first floor of a house. no insulation, but i have walls . i think it will do the trick. i also use ceiling fans to bring the heat down. i live in cleveland warmer than your weather

My furnace heats a 20 by 30 foot shop that is well insulated. I live in southern Missouri. I am well satisfied with its performance; however, my conditions are a lot different than your environment.

the room I heat is 46×16, I have a blower on mine which helps a lot, my house is very insulated and it keeps it In the mId 70's

Yes on the switch. The size of the garage is the factor you have to calculate. My shop is 16x24 insulated and from 40 degrees to 60 takes about 20 min when the outside temp is -25 degrees.

We got this one for my husbands 2 car garage/shop and it works great . The doors arent insulated and theres cracks along the edges , so we were concerned that would be a problem but it hasnt it heats the room quick and nicely . I can't say whether its better then the others but were pretty happy with the performance of this one. Hope that helps

I doubt this heater has the capacity to heat even a small space in a garage. We bought it to heat a well pump which is in a 3 ft diameter pit maybe 2 ft deep. It works great for an application like that but I think there are better solutions out there for you.

Garages are usually not sealed and cold air will come in and hot air going out. You'll likely need to have it facing you at close proximity to feel the warmth. This would apply to any other heaters this size. But if you do have a sealed garage, and depending on its size, it will have to be left on for a few hours before you feel warmth throughout the room.

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 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.

Probably so, I have two of them in my motorhome, which is approx. 300sq.ft and they kept it at 72 degrees inside, while outside got down to 28 degrees! It depends on sq.ft. of the garage, and how well it is insulated, you might need two.

I use this heater for a 1300 sq. ft. Garage and it works very well. I'm not an expert but I would just buy 2 of these over a more expensive heater.

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.

For a space of 60 sq ft....I doubt it'll have an immediate warmth impact....You may feel warmth after a few hours of use...If your looking for a high output portable heater...Allow me to suggest "The Big Heater Buddy" ...It'll put out btween 4000-9000 Btu's... Check Cabelas website...The deal with refurbished units....Good Luck.

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.

Depends on the size of the garage and what you mean by super cold. If the cats have a nice box with a blankee in the bottom. If you leave the heater on to heat the garage and not just turn it on at the last minute. If it's going to be sub-zero. Your best bet would be to get a cat bed heating pad that they sell here on Amazon. Then you won't have to heat the whole garage and they'll be toasty. It'd save electricity too.

The 60000 btu would work great. It is over sized but for the priceit is worth it. I have 750 sq ft garage with 12ft ceiling and it heats it up fast. Less strain on the unit.

I use it in a 24x28 garage. I do work in the garage in the winter and it will keep it at 70-75 degrees. I was usi9ng milk house heaters before and they kept burning out the thermostats . For me this heater works great. Lloyd Jones

Really depends on the space and insulation. At max output this heater produces 60,000 but/hour. You can figure out the heating arrangement here:http://www.calculator.net/btu-calculator.html I use it in a semi-insulated garage that is 1000 sq/ft and it brings it up from 25 to 60 in about 15 minutes on high.

I have a "Touch Stone 500 Vortex Heat" model....it's rated at 1500 watts on the label. I heat a 15' x 15' x 25' man cave area in the Las Vegas area. With the relative mild winter temps in my area, the unit keeps that garage area 20-25 degrees warmer than outside with 30-40 minutes of warmup. Cold snaps (below freezing) are a little longer recovery. Hope this helps.
