Thanks for taking the time to respond, Dogdas. I think I'll go with a 30K unit.

Hello all, I'm about to install a Hot Dawg or similar type ceiling mounted heater to my unheated garage here in MA and am struggling (maybe overthinking:willy_nil) to determine the right size. The garage is 22'x23'x8.5' with two 9'x7' insulated ovhd doors, four dbl-hung windows(48 sf) and an...

Jason, I'm in similar situation as you. I have the same size garage with two 9'x7 insulated ovhd doors, four windows and a door and same insulation configuration and heat/temperature requirements. I'm located on the south coast of MA, 1/4 mi from the water. No natural gas here; only electricity...

I have a 20' x 22' two car attached wood frame garage with a spalled concrete floor. The top 1/2" or so of the 4" thick floor has flaked off exposing the stone in 70% of the surface. It's at least a 40 yr. old floor( no rebar) with only one crack in it. After calling ten contractors, one...
