Will this cause any issues with condensation on tools? If so, would running an AC on its dehumidifier setting help? That is what I was thinking for now as well. I have lots of cold weather gear, but the main issue is my hands and legs. I will get some base layers, but will the radiant heater...

Is NG a dry heat? I know propane pumps out a lot of moisture (I imagine this is from how the heaters are built, but maybe it is the fuel itself?) I don't want a lot of moisture in the garage as that will cause rust just like the condensation from freezing and thawing. Also, there is no...

That's an interesting idea. I wonder if it would eventually have enough heat to help heat up the air like a weird radiator. Obviously not a LOT of heat.

That is good to know. Thanks!

Gas? Like NG and LPG? Or any fuel heaters like that? I get what you're saying about radiant, but what about a radiator? Like the old ones you see in movies

Well, yeah, 1500w is, but idk if anyone sells a "1500w diesel heater". I was just saying what power and that it was electric . But that is good to know about the 1500w. I noticed that about a 1500w forced air one, but I figured that was because the fan just mixes the heat with the cold and it...

Ok, then the diesel is what i want probably. Are they safe? I'd like to set it up maybe for a window like you said.

Yeah, but that would be $1000. I don't have the cash for that atm.

Would a 1500w electric radiant heater work? The diesel one is what I will probably end up with, but if I can save money, it would be better.

I have a 22x14 shop that I want to heat. It has no insulation anywhere, but the roof is solid and leak free (to my knowledge). I usually leave the normal human door open, but the garage door is closed almost all the time (and the human door would only be open when I am working, so maybe 4hrs a...

If you have the capacity on the main panel, then it might work. If you have a 40 amp breaker, it would probably be fine. Now, if it is a 15a breaker, then you really need to look for a new one, cause it probably isn't working..

Meh. It is nice, but there are guns kids squealing tires ans revenge engines, and general noise. I don't live in an apartment with neighbors on top of me, so some noise is fine. and my neighbors are great. Never had any complaints or anything.

Yeah, that sounds about right. My doe grinder can go about 20 seconds before it slows down a LOT.

15hp!? I said cheap, and all you all latch onto is quiet. I can buy a lot of ear plugs for the price difference LOL That thing looks awesome and sounds (quietly) like a great machine, but I don't have enough amps in the whole shop to get even near 15hp, much less the money for that beast. I...

Yeah, that is what I'm thinking. Only other way is if I got a used one cheap, but then I might just be bringing a time bomb into the shop. literally. I really don't get why they don't make tanks from aluminum ...
