Thanks Terry, Sorry if it was confusing.... I'm pretty confused, haha I am planning to run a new 240V circuit to my garage and the local inspection guy gave me a load calculation sheet to fill out to see if I have ample capacity in my home's 150 AMP electric panel to add the new 240V...

Thanks Alfred E I actually never found a nameplate on the furnace. Found only a small sticker inside unit with model number. Like Stuart said, I think I’m set enough with those numbers. Thanks!

Hi everyone, just joined recently, and have already received great advice on trying to get some heat in my garage for the winter! So glad that the GJ exists... been telling my car buddies to check it out. Wrenchin' on water cooled VWs, '15 BMW X3, '74 Triumph tr6, Vespa P200E, '02 KTM EXC300...

Gotcha, thanks! okay, I'm all out of questions!! hahaha guys on this forum and site have been amazing! I'm now a huge fan and am telling all of my car buddies about the cool community here!

Thank so very much, Stuart! this gets me really close to wrapping the load calculation up. Yes, the sheet that I was provided by the inspector does calculate 3w per sq ft of the home. There is one last question that I was stumped on... it's asking for the number of small appliance circuits...

Thanks Stuart, The furnace is a standard gas forced air 80K BTU Goodman unit. model GMVC960804CNAA here is the link to the specific unit. I Actually saw on this link, that minimum circuit ampacity is 10.6 Amps and recommended breaker is 15 Amps @115V... so I guess that puts me between 1219W and...

Just saw this PoorUB - you're all over these forums!! haha thanks - found some info, what do you think?

In researching the furnace, online specifications state that it uses only 110W for the furnace (it states that most other furnaces are around 360W) - both of these numbers seem low to me, haha The outdoor unit is a little trickier.... looked it up too and cannot find any stated wattage, but see...

Thanks so much, Stuart! I will check for those manuals!

Howdy all, I had been bugging the guys over in the HVAC forum about gas furnace venting, and I'm now thinking that wiring a 240V circuit to my garage and going electric heat might be best... I'm trying to figure out if I have capacity in my main 150 Amp elec panel. I would plan to do my own...

Thanks, Max ! You're right! I will ask over in the electric forum. Appreciate your help

Okay! based on the excellent info that everyone offered (thanks so much) I am now focused on either a direct vent wall unit or running 240v electric to the garage and doing wither a 5000 or 7500 Watt heater... I'm trying to figure out if I have capacity in my main elec panel and actually...

Wow! 2002 turbo, that's excellent! I've been really into water cooled VWs for the past 20 years or so... most recently a 2003 1.8t manual Jetta wagon.

Sorry, I’m “choking” on the price, not checking haha

Thanks, I’m sure that the Dayton unit I was looking at (used) is natural draft… come to think of it, I also read something about venting on a wall with prevailing wind…. That’s the case with my wall (the one with glass block windows). So maybe a power vent is best . I’m checking on the $800...
