Hi everyone! I'm getting ready for winter and I'm going to put heat in this thing before it gets cold. I've decided on the Northern "Big Maxx" heater. I figure it will be neat and clean and heat things up quickly.
My problem is the proper size for my situation. There are 45,000 and 75,000 BTU units.
My garage is 30x40, 12'6" high ceiling, 2x6 walls w/r19 and r30 in the ceiling, 4 windows and three large bay doors that are insulated.
Can anyone give me an idea/opinion on which of these sizes would be best? Will the 45,000 take care of my needs with the insulation or should I opt for the bigger unit? Winter here gets down to around 15 to 20 on occasion.
Here is the build
