Mine are doing the exact same thing except they are randomly burning out 1 by 1. It is very frustrating. I had fluorescent tube lights last for 10 years and I barely got 4 out of these.

I have a 20x30 insulated garage. I have a hanging Comfort Zone 7.5k heater. It does a fantastic job and was super easy to install. Sure based on some other peoples comments there might be other ways to heat your space but I can tell you I don't regret this purchase at all. It does the job...

That finished product looks really good.

I don't think it is really oversized at all. I think its rated for up to 750sq ft and I'm at 600. I've been using it at the low setting.

I only have it set that high right now because I just poured a concrete table top and I want it to cure at a good temp.

I just overthought mine and ended up with a 7500W electric for right now. I'll see how much I can bare the cost of heating the garage after I insulate it. I have gas on my property and do want to run it....I just have no good places to mount the heater due to my garage being at the front of...

I can start another thread for this...but this little heater does a great job at heating up my garage. Even with an uninsulated door it is holding the temp at 65 pretty good.

I have it set to 65 right now. It is currently 50 outside. Its only kicking on every 30 min or so for about 10 min then shuts off

Yes, 2 walls are shared. The other wall I insulated. The ceiling is 80% below the house and fully insulated, the other 20% I am going to blow insulation in. The garage door will either be insulated or I am going to buy a new door. I haven't decided that yet.

Yeah I'm going to figure out a way to keep air circulating in there. Either a wall mounted remote control fan or something.

Hopefully I don’t regret this but I ended up installing a 7500 watt electric heater from Rural King. The venting thing was really bothering me as I don’t have a great location to vent. Under $300 installed for this guy. I appreciate everyone’s input on this. It gave me a lot to think about...

Here is a picture of the last position suggested above the garage door: Here is the opposite side of the steel beam Here is the original spot that I proposed where you can see the ceiling isn't built down for hvac/utilities

I can't hang it from that location over the door. There is a section that is built down for utilities and looking at the pics of when the house was built, they are not structural whatsoever. F

So you guys are proposing to do this instead? Is 80k overkill for a 20x30? Should I be getting a 50k instead?

The beautiful thing is that I am going to run new gas line for this anyways so I can put it wherever I need to along that interior wall
