What's the temperature in your 'GARAGE' ?

[innkeeper]

Well I'm at 63 in Ballston Lake N.Y. , just north of Albany. My Garage is 16w,26L,14H, ....It is about 7 degres with a wildchill of -5.. It is heated with a TPI 14,000 to 19,000 btu ,10" round and a 262 cfm blower fan. Just wondering how everyone is warming up??????

Mine better be at 50 degrees, +/-, since that is what I left the thermostat set to.

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

I keep mine at 52 during the days, 45 at night and when I feel the need to splurge, it goes as high as 60 (but mostly 56). I have an old forced hot air fuel oil fired furnace, it is one of my best $250 ever spent. I also have a used lanair waste oil furnace that I am hoping to figure out this winter, so maybe next year I can burn waste oil too!

55' and 70 when I'm out there.

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

usually leave it at 50, turn it up to 65 when working or 70 if just hanging out.

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

I'll have to check a thermometer to be sure, but based on the current outside airtemp of 15-20 deg F, I'd have to guess it somewhere in the 30's. A bit chilly, so I'm sure I won't be out there long tonight! Dreamin' of a heated garage!

I have in-floor heating set at 64 here in Wisconsin. With that type of system you have to pretty much leave the setting the same day and night. Any change you make takes a long time to take effect. I suppose I could save some money by setting it down more, but it's nice and comfy in there. It's only money. When your feet are warm, you're comfortable!

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

It's 60* in my 3 car attached and 40* outside and droping I have no heat in the garage yet so when its like this I stay inside

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

What ever the outside temp is

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

Yesterday it was quite warm outside @ 40c-104f but the garage was a nice balmy 26c-79f.

I spent a fair bit of time in the garage as it was cooler that our house!

 

[cruzer75]

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

Same temp as outside I imagine~16F
No ceiling and installed ridge/sofit vents when we did the roof this thanksgiving. I'm just happy my stuff doesn't need buckets on top of it to catch the water leaking in during the rain.

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

its in the single digits here, was 7* last night. Mine stays solid at 55*. As that is where I leave the thermostat. If im out there working, it usually stays there. If im just messing around, or wasting time, getting out of the house, I usually set it to 60*.

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

No heat in mine, so the temp will be in the low teens tonight. If Im working when it is below freezing I fire up my infrared torpedo heater.

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

60. In floor heat is the greatest. I heat 650 sq.ft to 60 all winter for less than $225.00 a season. Set it and leave it.

 

[innkeeper]

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

Thank to you all...... Was just wondering, with mine at that temp it helps with the living room and bathroom that are connected to the GARAGE.. stay warm!!!!!

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

i live in northern wi and it regularly goes sub zero around here.i keep it set at 48 but when i go out there to play i crank it to 65 which is shorts & tee shirt weather.

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

Mine was a little under 5 celcius(40f) when I got out here. Turned on the little 220 v construction heater and it was at 15c (60f) in about 10 minutes.

 

[bobadame]

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

Mine is set at 57 degrees. Costs about $60./month for gas and electricity for a 2560 sq. ft. shop. The heater is a forced air natural gas unit laid over horizontal. I removed it from the house when we installed central air. It was only a couple of years old at the time. I paid about $380. for it.

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

January is an off month for me in the garage, it is too costly to heat such a large space when I barely go out there this month,so 35- 40F. In February I will boost it to 45-50 when I'm not in there and let it rip when I am!

 

[sberry]

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

50+, a bit warmer when I toss a couple more logs on in the morning, Never freezes.

 

[NUTTSGT]

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

Mine is usually 50 give or take a degree or two. Generally it depends on the outside temps and how hard the wind is blowing. My wood burner is an old ******* and not real efficient. If I bought a new airtight, I would cut my wood consumption in half and probably cheap the garage warmer at night.

I burn a fire everyday I'm home to keep the concrete warm, once that is done, it helps maintain the 50 degree temperature.

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

What do you run for your heat source?? As i stated mine is a TPI 13 t 19,000 fan forced 262 cfm...

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

My shop is hot in the Summer, cold in the Winter, and just right in the Spring and Fall.

 

[GeorgiaHybrid]

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

Using a kerosene torpedo heater, I set the thermostat to 60 when I am not out there. Working on the truck last night, I cranked it to 70 and was working in a t shirt while it was in the 20's outside.

So far I'm running about $20 a week in kerosene cost so if I figure 4 months of heat (at the outside) it will run me around $320 to heat the place. Not too bad for 1600 sq ft with almost 16' ceilings.

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

21' x 31' three car attached. It is insulated. No heat. Just checked 47*F in the garage and 22*F outside.

By the way. This is my first post and I find myself spending way too much time here. So many wonderful garages/shops and getting some great ideas for my own.

 

[RodneyPierce]

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

I have a 45k btu natural gas garage heater. Similar to the hotdawg ceiling hung heaters, but forget the manufacturer of the unit. It starts with a D.

Where do you live?

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

It's 20 F here in Chitown and my little Williams convection natural gas furnace is keeping my 700 square foot garage with 10 foot ceilings at 50F. Costs me about $15 extra a month to heat my mancave.

I can pump up the settings and get the garage up to 75 F when were below 0 in about an hour.
I run a box fan over the furnace to even the temp.

Best part about my furnace, it was a freeby from a HVAC friend who was moving his business out of state!!!

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

It was 83 today so no need to heat or cool.

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

Regardless of the outside temps during the winter, my little 440 sf shop is kept at 10C (50F) when I'm not in it, and a few degrees warmer if I'm out there working. I heat it with a small 240V construction heater.

 

[Outlander]

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

Um... -15* C today. Felt like 0 once I got going. If I am desperate, I'll turn on the propane heater, but I was not doing anything that required taking my gloves off today.

 

[D.J.]

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

Thanks for rubbing it in Steves32! Its 29 here now, so in my driveway its 29, since I don't have a garage.

 

[5lima30]

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

I leave a small electric convection heater on during the night which keeps it about 42 F (+ -) and then crank up the portable propane heater which will bring it up to 58 F when I'm woring in there. It was 14 F this morning and we had 2-3 inches of snow last night.

 

[Aberdale]

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

My 60x40 (2400 sq ft) with 14' ceilings is 60 degrees. I have a natural gas forced air furnace. The gas bill has been around $60 per month, but will get higher as the temps get lower in Jan and Feb.

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

59* in there, cold as hell outside. 1220 square feet, 8+' ceilings, living space above. I keep it at 59* with a 75,000 btu Mr. Heater. Once I get the slab and the contents warmed up, it doesn't run too much. Maybe once every two hours for 5 minutes or so.

It is oh so nice in the mornings.......

 

[slip knot]

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

65 outside today, 65 in the shop. Damm this is a bitter winter in South TX. Got a 60K Dearborn for when it really gets cold<50. when it gets below 40 we just give up and go set by the heater and drink whiskey till it warms back up.

 

[cglasgow]

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

Ambient, plus or minus. When it's cold out and I'm out there, I'll fire up the kero heater. Doesn't help that much, though -- no insulation (yet)!

 

[srode]

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

Attached garage with 950 square feet, it was 47 this morning in the garage and 9 degrees outside when I went to work. It's been warm here though so the garage floor wasn't that cold yet probably. I think low 40's is typical for Jan/Feb in the garage until I fire up the 250,000btu forced air kerosene torpedo heater.

 

[JeremyManning]

Re: What's the temperture in your 'GARAGE' ?

frigid, -25 outside this morning probably -5 in the garage I have a space heater I plug in when I'm out there
