240 volt heaters

[jarhead]

Anyone have experience with the 240 volt heaters?

It appears I can run one for 2-3 bucks over an eight hour period. That to me doesnt seem that bad.

The positive aspect of it for me is no humidity output, no refilling, and fast installation.

I am thinking about a cadet garage heater called the hot one.

Thanks, Joe

They use these to warm the public enterance lobbies at my place of work in the winter. They work very well.

Two guys I work with liked them so much that they each bought one for use in their shops this winter.

I am not sure how 3 phase works. I can wire in a 20 amp 240 V breaker though. I wonder how noisy those are. It looks like it would do the job.

Fostoria makes other models. I don't think they are all 3 phase. Can't imagine the ones my friends have are.... As you mentioned in your first post, there are other brands to consider as well, especially IF all the Fostoria pieces are to heavy duty.

They are pretty quiet I guess. Just the sound of an electric fan running. A whole lot quieter than my kerosene bullet heater, with a pump and fan running, and a big 2 foot long open flame inside raoring away.

Here's a place that sells a variety of electric heaters that would probably work. Most of them are designed to be hung from the ceiling and hard wired, but they also have some portable ones. http://www.air-n-water.com/electric-utility-heater.htm

Here's the one I went with: http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200316377_200316377

Works good. Very quiet, and puts out a lot.

Hey Jarhead - I take it you were in the Corps? I enlisted 24 years ago today. Got out 20 years ago.

I was in from 74-79, man that makes me old.

I like your heater. Mine only puts out 4000 watts but I can keep my garage at 62 degrees
