Hoping to get some recommendations from people who actually OWN and USE space heaters please. Daughter is renting unheated 270 sf studio in normal 40's building in Bay Area. Gets into low 40s at night. Oil filled radiator provided runs freezing one night and 90s next, so she's getting sleep...

Hello again Friends, I have been following the garage door insulation posts for a few months. Finally ready to have someone come help me this weekend, and realized I still don't have a clue how to mount them, and how to get an ??? air space between the foil on each side? So I'm using the R13...

Do you know if they come in a steel finish or even black? White feels like just one more thing to clean... Thanks! T2

FALCON67 -- there are a bunch of us hoping you'll answer the question of what you used and how you did it to attach the insulation. ???Please?

The door kits have a very low R value -- around 4 I think. However you can buy and cut the rigid insulation that has R 13, as some of these people did. Also, I suspect that the extra layer of radiant/silver, so it's on both sides, helps as well. I'm finally getting ready to insulate mine --...

LOL. Guess you're not a lawyer huh? Failure to pull a permit can give an insurance company a reason to deny a claim on anything that caused damage and wasn't permitted -- such as electric! (Which is one reason I'm trying to get as much info as possible now, to do all electrical at once and be...

I have been dreaming of this door ever since I saw the photo! The more you can tell me about putting it together (and obviously it holds up well) the better! Many thanks! T2

I have natural gas that comes in at the garage, so I definitely wouldn't use propane, LOL. Is there something similar you can recommend that would use NG? Thanks! T2

"Campfire for heat and a block of ice with a fan for cooling would be cheaper ! " Naw. Around here wood is more expensive than n gas -- maybe even more than electric. ;-)

Sorry to ask another question, but what is a two stage unit please? is it heat only or also AC ? I sure am getting an education here!! Thanks! T2

Wizard, what would you suggest for a garage where there is n gas easily accessible please?

Ummm. Does it ever rain where you live? Thought about salt getting into the water table? I'm no scientist but I figure all those states that banned salting because it was ruining the water supply must know something... And we need it here in the west....

Sorry. Wish I were able to do it myself! Why? It's purely financial. Maybe I will be able to upgrade in a few years, but I just can't right now. I am still going to get a local quote or two, just to compare, but was hoping some of you could really give me some concrete help with the less...

Wish I were. :-(
