I am looking to add heat to my garage. I have done alot of research on here but still have some questions on what size heater and the vent pipe.
I have a 24x36 garage that need some heat in:
- 24' x 24' of it has a vaulted ceiling at 9/12 pitch to 14.5' ceiling. R19 insulation in the ceiling, 2x4 walls with R13 in the walls.
- 12' x 24' has a 10' flat ceiling, R50 insulation in the ceiling, 2x6 walls with R19
Two garage doors, one 18' x 8', one 9' x 8' with an R value of 7
I did a quick calc and think i have 10,000 cubic feet.
I live in upstate NY, what size heater do i need?
I wanted a Mr Heater 75k BTU
I want to run the vent pipe horizontal, but it will be above my walk in entrance door and below my sofit/eave. Nowhere does it say how far below the eave it needs to be. It says 12" of pipe from the siding, which will look Terrible. Are there any other options. I see that gas fireplaces have nicer vents outside?
I posted better pics where i want the heater.
If i go horizontal the vent will be above my garage side door, you can see it in the pic with the green siding. I want it to look decent and not some crapy tube coming out of the house.
Thanks, I really appreciate the help
Thanks
