TPI Suspended Salamander Electric Heat??

[uberhahn]

Anyone have any feedback on TPI heaters like this one:

I have a 4-car insulated garage. I would like to avoid running a gas line and exhaust required for a furnace type.


I like the BTU output, and the fan seems to have good CFM. I've not been able to find any feedback, reviews, etc.


Thanks,

That one is 208V 3PH, which makes it unpopular for the average home garage. No reviews because of no sales.

Here it is in 230V 1PH, drawing a whopping 63A.

FWIW, consider 2 heaters in opposite corners of a relatively large space. Wiring a 30A 230V unit is cheaper/easier, and gives the possibility of zone heating just the corner of the shop you're using.
