my good buddy is a hvac heat cool guy . he recommends this heater in a garage or shop situation. he calls it a hotdog , i believe that’s a name brand . if i couldn’t afford this one i’d get a used 80-85 % efficiency house furnace in gas . there for sale cheap everywhere….i have a hanging shop heater runs on propane and a air tight wood stove but i only heat on occasion .

Y'all are making me wish I had gas run up here....
Maybe I'll consider a tank instead? It could also serve to feed a backup generator, come to think of it.

I heat 1100 sq ft of my shop with a NG radiant tube heater.
Great heat...like working under the sun on a July day.
Warms the floor and everything in the shop just like the sun.
I have about 9.5 of ceiling height.
I installed it in the 90's. Simple to do yourself.
For about ten years I used a pellet stove to keep the shop @45F or so then cranked up the tube heater . I like a warm shop...too old to be cold.
For 50 years I slept in cold trucks during the winter never wanting to waste fuel by idling. If it got to zero I would start and high idle the engine to keep the oil warm then shut it down again. Used an electro warmth 12v bunk warmer to sleep on. Multiple blankets. Sometimes I wore a ski mask to keep my noggin warm. I was a diehard.
Now I like to stay warm!

Mine were natural gas, comes both ways. I put a small vent in the ceiling above it. I've installed three of these in three different houses. Easy, no noise, no electric, clean, set thermostat and walk away and will heat 3 car garage cheap. I still have one in the box new, I decided not to put it in this house. I'll keep it incase I do decide to install.
