This heater requires a minimum clearance of 8' above the floor for public garages in accordance with the ANSI/NFPA No. 88 most recent edition. Commercial buildings have different clearance regulations. Please see page 3 of the owner's manual for detailed clearance requirements and also check your local codes and ordinances for installation requirements in your area prior to installing.

No. The hole would need to be enlarged to 10+ inches for the main body of the fan. However, the hole needs to be quite a bit larger than that to install the brackets which run between the joists. It may be possible to work from floor above. Keep in mind you may need additional wiring for all the lighting options.

If you close mount it, maybe.I mounted with the extention provided and its 20 " inches off ceiling and 28 inches to bottom of pull chains. I would not recommend it for an 8 foot ceiling in any which way-

As long as there is good air circulation, I think it would be ok. You might do a ceiling temperature check using a charcoal grill where you plan on placing the unit prior to ordering.

I have in a room in the garage that is 8x20ft and no problem in getting this room to 70F, takes about 10 minutes and stays there until I shut it off. Have seen other comments about this heater for room sizes up to 200 sq ft.

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.

Ooops! I was thinking 8 foot ceiling. Standard garage doors are 7 feet high. So, you'll need the extension for an 8 foot door. Sorry for my previous incorrect answer.

Not without some modifications. It works great for us and we have 8 ft. ceilings.

Mine is in my basement. The ceiling is only 8 feet and there is plenty of room.

I'm sure you could use it in a garage but I doubt it would heat that large of an area.

My garage ceiling is only 9 ft, however there is excess rope. If you require a longer rope, it appears to me that replacing the shipped rope would be relatively easy.

I had mine put up by somebody but if you have higher ceilings I'm sure all you have to do is go to your local hardware store and purchase a chain that size. So to answer that yes you can

20x20x15=6000 Sg ft. so no! 20x20x8=3200 sg ft which would be a normal ceiling height would still be to much for this heater to work properly. You would need four of these units to heat it up properly. 15' height is your biggest problem.

I put mine in an existing drop ceiling. If you are talking about the box on the unit Yes.

Yes... I bought it for my grandkids, and it's been set up in the garage several times during colder weather. Basement? Well - if the ceiling is high enough, it should work fine, too.

I put mine in a 36x36 shop with 10ft ceiling that is well insulated. It has been down to 40degrees so far and heater work great. These heaters require 240 volt 30 amp circuit. I would install one now and try it knowing I may need another. The are quality American made heater.

YES, but ceiling should be in 8-12 foot range. DO NOT use the Velcro provided, use screws provided. Hope this helps.
