It does not put out enough heat for a 2 car garage. I say don't buy it. The one I bought I melted the plug. I replaced the plug and that one melted too. The cord got hot to the touch so it went into the trash. It should be recalled as a fire hazzard.

I have a two car garage that's fairly well insulated and rarely see the temp below 50 on the coldest days. Normally 60. Cars have instant heat because of the heat. This is the second year using this heater and it just hums away. Hope this helps. Oh yea attached garage.

Nice safe heater, however not sure it would warm that large of area. I own two.

hmmm two car garage maybe too much for it i think and beware if your switch goes off easily, it drains electricity

Not big enough for that unless you had a mild climate and you run it a long time with an insulated garage

If the temp is below 50 degrees, this thing will warm the garage slightly...however, it will not work well in a colder garage.

I bought two to heat a barely insulated garage in the PNW where temperatures are generally mild. If the temperature is between 40 and 50 then only one unit can keep the garage at about 60 or which is a comfortable temperature for shop work. If the temp is between 30 and 40 then I'll run both of them and will get the same 60 degrees. It never really gets below 30 here so I can't answer that.

Rob- Sorry, But Can't Help You. I Purchased the Heater About a Year ago and Have Given it to a Good Friend. Myself, After trying the Heater Out, I Was "VERY EMPRESSED" !!!. It was the Best Heater We Found, to Heat My Friends Garage, for Our Weekly Card Game. Hope It Helps ? Take care Ken

Our garage is 24x26 one story and this heater heats it up from cold to 68 in about 10 min. There is a btu formula available on the internet.

I have the same size garage, and the HD60ASO111 Hot Dog does a real good job of heating with no problems with it since I purchased it about a year ago as a replacement for what it had. I had a 75,000 BTU unit in it before and I can't tell any difference.

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 think in very well might be better to install 2 of them. I have a single level 2400--but has a bonus room above garage--and a very tall attic space. I got 1 and it is only cooling my attic 10 degrees or so in the heat of the afternoon. I may look to buy a 2nd one later on down the road.

would this heater work as well as others have said in a 2 car garage that isn't insulated?

Yes! How much heat is unknown, but when there are seven operating at once in the 2-1/2 car garage... it gets very hot.

I would definitely not use this device for a single car garage. I attempted to use it on my 30 foot sailboat..just is not strong enough to make much difference. Try a convention a/c unit, if possible. Randy/Key West

I have this installed in my garage and it does a great job keeping it to temperature. However, I don't think the fan on this would do a good enough job of circulating to cover 5 rooms. I think you would have 1 really hot room and it would be drastically cooler the further away from the heater you get.

I do not think you can expect this heater to heat an entire garage (if you are from a northern state), but it will create a nice warm "spot" if that is what you want.

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 this in a 2-car garage and it heats relatively well. My garage is not insulated, so the area I work in is warm, and the entire garage gets relatively warmer. I turn it on only when I am working.

I think you have to look at the space your heating and how well it is insulated. I installed one in a 2 car garage, fairly insulated, and it keeps the temp. just above the outside on very cold days.

Mine works great. Three stal garage just use it to keep above freezing. It is expensive to run.

The heater works very well for me. I installed it in a 2 bay garage with 15 foot ceiling where I can work on my cars with a 4 post lift. Even on the coldest days the unit will heat the garage to 68/69 degrees within a half an hour.

I don't. My garage is not heated . It's actually better when it freezes. Not as much movement.
