    Can I use an external thermostat with the portable dayton units?

    I think I may be going with 2 of the little red box-type dayton heaters that put out 19,000BTUs each. I'm going to put them up towards the ceiling which is out of reach to adjust the thermostat. How can I control these things without getting up on a ladder? I would like to be able to control...

    Need help choosing heater for 24x30 garage

    Is there any advantage to running 2 heaters instead of a single? I may be able to get my required BTUs cheaper going with 2 heaters. (as opposed to the big Oulette which is over $500) http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200316377_200316377

    Need help choosing heater for 24x30 garage

    Thanks very much for the replies guys. I checked my electric bill and AFTER taxes, fees and even paying for 100% green energy (extra .0125/KWh) my avg cost per Kwh is .11. Otherwise, base rate is .07 up to 600 KWHS and .09 after that. (I use over 1000/mo) so my turning point is about $2.37 but...

    Need help choosing heater for 24x30 garage

    also considering the Dayton G73 but airnwater.com says it can only heat a 500 sq ft garage. The G73 is rated at 17,000 BTU for a little bit more money I could get 2 of the QMark portables which are rated at 19,000 BTUs each. I'm not sure why AirNWater.com tout the G73 which costs $299 and only...

    Glass garage door - pay extra for insulated?

    well it's decided, thanks everyone. I'll just go with single pane glass. Even the people giving me the quote say it's not really worth it. I completely forgot the insulated glass could get cloudy and that would drive me nuts. Charles, thanks for the price - that sounds about right then for...

    Glass garage door - pay extra for insulated?

    i'm in western washington and the door would face West and get full sun in the afternoon in the summer. We in Seattle don't get sun 9 months out of the year so thats not really a concern. I'll definitely get some greenhousing going on in the summer but I can just open the door and air it out...

    Glass garage door - pay extra for insulated?

    I'm about to order a Clopay 902 commercial glass garage door. The quote is around $3500 for the door and a jack shaft opener and install. My question is, should I spend $500 more for insulated glass? is it worth it? I realize I'm not going to get much R value out of glass no matter what but...
