Advice for "plug ins" for Hot Dawg Heating

[bucs012]

Over the next few days I am having 200 amp service put in my garage. I plan to go with Hot Dawg heaters for my 50x30 garage. Heating with Natural Gas.

My Shop- 20x15 feet with 9' ceiling so plan to go with the 30,000 BTU unit. Do I need just a standard 110v or should I wire in a 220?
Also is the plug a special plug? Will I need a 20 amp or 30 amp plug wired in?

The rest of the garage is 1200 square feet so I plan to go with the 45,000 BTU unit.

I want to make sure I have my electrician do what will be needed, NOW since he is here.

Thanks.

They require 110v. I just used a 14 gauge appliance cord. Im pretty sure the whole heater uses less than 5 amps. I have the 45k unit.

The 45,000 BTU Hot Dawg heater has a total amp load of 3.7 amps at 120 volts.

They don't have a plug on them. I used a piece of armor flex looped from the heater with a romex clamp to the wall. I installed my thermostat wire inside the armor flex too. This makes for nice clean install. I have a standard wall switch on the wall to kill power to the heater.

you can kind of see the armor loop in this pic:

Great choice in the forced air heat. It keeps my shop warm and easily inc's from just above freezing to working temps in minutes.
I was told we had to vent it out the roof....neither here no there really. They really do take v. little power - just a flint and a fan is all.
