Ok, "GJ" folks, before I mount my new garage heater (Beacon-Morris 45K), what are the opinions on venting, straight up through the roof or horizontal wall vent? I have a clear shot either way, standard roof boards above and brick siding on the gable end. Thanks in advance for the advice!

Nice "thegrargeguy". Nice uppity attitude toward another member. Don't reply if your too bothered

70chevy: what kW is your Dayton??

Ok, so for the folks in Michigan type climates, how has running electric affected your electric bill. I'm planing in keeping the unit on 40-ish when I'm not using the garage and turn it up for project time. Cost v. Ease of instal v. Running gas line and venting. A lot of different opinion here.

Well thanks for a the replies so far. I'm in the metro Detroit area. Originally I was planing on using NG, just hate to cut a hole in my roof. A friend of mine is a HVAC contractor and mentioned he had installed 220v electric wall units before. Problem is-I don't know anyone who has electric...

Thanks for the info, I'm in the Detroit area so our weather is the same...all the info I have keeps coming back to the NG forced style heater for my set up. Finished with 1964 insulation in the walls, I will be adding to the attic, door is already insulated so that should help with heat...

Thanks sarman47! Do you have any condensation issues?? trying to decide on open v. sealed combustion chamber. There is a price diff (more for sealed), but I can get the same heater here at my local Lowes-which I am leaning heavily towards.

Hello all, been a member for some time now, mostly reading up on others projects trying to get ideas for my own. I'm planing on installing natural gas heat this fall and am looking for some advice form those that have. Any advise on brand and open v. sealed combustion chamber would be very...
