how big is the area to heat? The hot dawg's work well in 2-3 car garages.
R
it is an oversized 2 car

that is what im leaning towards the hot dawg

radiant heat in the floor- instant on-demand water heater!! Oh wait; I suppose you already have your concrete poured...

modine makes a good heater, if you plan to heat it at all times go with a 45,000 BTU if you want fast recovery go with the 60,000 BTU. (ADP is another good one)
P
Buy bigger than the space needed and natural gas if an option. I have a large 3 stall with 10ft ceiling and the 100k natural gas heater has no trouble getting it up to workin temp from 50 (where I leave it).

Lennox and ADP are the same heater and the quality is a bit better. I use them in my race trailers as well.
R
you think lennox is better than the hotdawg by modine why do you think the quality is better ????

I just put up a 125,000 btu Hot Dawg it works great and is quiet. A friend of mine put in a Mr Heater and it looks to be poorly built. It vibrates so bad it is shaking the rafters, appears the fan is out of balance. It is also noisy.

Johnny H what is the Val6 and i have also heard the same of mr heater

I have been using dr. heater DR966 because it comes up with a thermostat. So far it's working good for me. Highly recommended for small size garages. Even if you have a large size garage then you probably have to look up for some other options. You can visit Garageaxs to read their best garage heater review.
You might consider one of these Diesel heaters.

Infrared tube heaters , some of those squirrel cages that most use are fire breathing dragons , open the door and it's gone .

I love the feel of infrared, but if it's a vent free one you're gonna have a moisture problem.
I took this down and went with a 45000 btu Hot Dawg. Much better!

I put a Mr Heater max with propane in my shop. Been in for 6 years no problems with it at all.
