Given that the number is a measure of efficiency, I think your incorrect... the oil is 8% less efficient in your scenario. However, efficiency doesn't always equate to cost effectiveness and so perhaps what you meant to say was 'more cost effective'... ?? Whether that's true or not would depend...

Best depending on your criteria for what is important... and so for YOU perhaps it's 'the best'? But you don't share your criteria for 'best' in order to help a thread reader determine if that criteria matches there and thus would be best for them. [emoji848] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I have 7 Honeywell wifi thermostats and am very pleased with them. 3 of them are running Reznor garage heaters. I had to add a couple wires to power the thermostat and enable fan only mode, but otherwise the install and setup is pretty easy no straight forward. The 9000 series someone posted is...

Ceiling mounted Reznor heater... I don't understand the 'metal knee wall cover'? But I do grasp that in spring/summer it'll prolly be a good idea to attach some foam to the cinder block on the exterior.

That's correct. Sounds like not a huge issue. If I hadn't already insulated and sheetrocked the walls I'd probably take a look from top side to find out if they're filled and load them with vermiculite if not, but for now I'll leave it and look in to adding insulation to exterior in the spring...

In northern WI and my garage walls are sitting on a single course of cinder block and was wonder how much heat I'm losing and what my current options are to insulate if warranted? Would it be worth glueing 2" pink XPS foam board on the inside? Also, the header to the garage the door is a large...

Found this surfing and seems like a perfect solution and fun project. Wondering if anyone has done this or something like it themselves and can provide comments and feedback about it? http://www.familyhandyman.com/garage/storage/customizable-garage-storage/step-by-step

I'm in Wisconsin and the garage is 28x34 detached with a second story bunkhouse for overflow sleeping quarters. No running water. I normally just heat the garage when I'm working in it but I'm considering keeping the garage heated this winter and have some questions: What is the lowest...

Yep, I'm doing it, works great! Honeywell 6580wf, goes down to 40. I did have to add jumper wires to pull common to thermostat. I also pulled the fan wire so I can run fan only for circulation when I want. I'm doing it on two UDAP 60s and one UDAP 75. If you choose to do it and want the info to...

Oh, and THANKS for all the comments and feedback. This community is greatly appreciated! Chose the ceiling finish and built my lighting solution based on threads here and couldn't be happier with the results!!

At this point I'm leaning towards leaving the beveled edge butted to the ceiling to see how it looks once its painted and if I don't like it will have a plan B to use some sort of trim/border to address it. I'm even thinking I could use a darker flat accent color as a border around the ceiling...

Do they make a channel that's deep enough to cover the drywall beveled edge? It would need to be like 2" deep wouldn't it? Unless I trim that off first at which point I'd probably just **** it to the ceiling J channel and I think it'd look fine. Yep, the edges of the metal ceiling are...

Right, that was an option I articulated as "running parallel to studs". This does pose some additional work in that there are more seams (it's really just 8' longer seam to finish not a big deal) but also finishing the seam butted up to the finished ceiling will be challenging. Maybe I'm...

Walls are 8' sitting on a single row of cinder block, with 6 ceiling mounted fluorescent lights (4 foot x 2 bulbs). Garage is 24x28.

I want to install sheetrock on the walls running perpendicular to the studs. The beveled edge of the sheetrock will **** against the ceiling trim and I'm just wondering if the bevel will be noticeable after painting? A couple options I have would be to run the sheetrock parallel so that an...
