Garage Heaters

[Makesy]

As they keep reminding us on Game of Thrones "winter is coming"!

With this in mind, can anyone recommend a good garage heater?

My garage is chilly in the summer months, let alone now!

Looking to spend sub £100, preferably electric powered

There are lots out there, but keen to hear what you all use.

Cheers

I have a convection heater rather like this.

It takes a while to heat it up, but it's great at keeping it above freezing when it's really cold.
I keep thinking of adding fan heater too to heat it quicker but then spring comes around... [emoji849]

How big is ur garage? A 2kw electric isn’t going to touch a larger garage so ur looking at propane for something larger.
If u only need a warm area to work in something like this....https://www.primrose.co.uk/18kw-wal...ater-with-power-settings-firefly-p-86132.html
will directly heat you, but not the rest of the garage.
If u go for a propane blower they’re so powerful even a small one will cook the garage, but be prepared to get thro the gas!

Just be careful about safety. I have petrol, thinners and gas in my garage so anything with a flame would be a worry near any of that.

The problem with gas type heaters is that they give off a lot of moisture which seems to just speed up corrosion on metal surfaces

2 car garage...not looking to make it tropical, just comfortable when the weather gets chilly.

Was looking at something like this though the reviews are fairly sparse, if positive.

Use a Clarke diesel/paraffin blower but I use commercial heating oil with it at 69p a litre quite economic to run and less fumes than diesel from supermarkets , heats up a 35 x 25 x 10 tin garage well, just don't put flamables directly in front .
