550 sqft, but how tall? Is it insulated? All this will play into how you can heat it efficiently. I mean you could plug up one space heater and try but not sure you wouldnt burn it out from running it 24-7. You could buy 4 and plug them in and it may warm you up 5 degrees, but make your power bills more than double. Im kinda in the same boat as you but my garage is 900 sqft with 10 foot walls and at the top atthe higest point is close to 14 ft tall. And mines not insulated. I have 3 double eye propane tanks and 2 karosine heaters in there and honestly they do nothing. Just warms me up when i get close to one. I did find a guy with 500 piece of one inch foam board with a r-3.32 rating that will sell them for 10 dollars a piece. On my next 5 days off im going to go buy 70 of them and insulate my garage. Then plastic off the roof section for now. Its going to cost me about 1000 dollars total, but if or when i have to work out there ill be comfortable. And it wont take to long to heat hopefully.My garage is around 550 sq. ft. The temperature in the winter is around 50 degrees. I'm looking for something that I can just plug in without doing any major mods to get me through the rest of the winter, anyone have any suggestions that may be worthwhile.
Yes 50 degrees sounds good.Man up -- put on a sweatshirt!
