    Last winter I decided (after reading up on recommendations from Fchatters) to acquire a heavy duty garage heater. I got a great deal on one - ebay, apparently has a dent in a corner? Ive never actually seen it, wasn't going to bother me. When I finally got around to having the professional electrician take a look, discovered it was overkill for my cabin. Meaning I dont have the 'capacity' to run one this powerful. I also bought the recommended (goes with it) thermostat on ebay. Here are photos of mine, both still in the box, never bothered to open them. Anyway, if any users of these garage heaters have any comments about their function, please share. In the meantime, someone with a big cold garage step up and make yourself an even greater buy.

    My a$k, with thermostat (which was $75.) both - $450. plus shipping from Lake Tahoe 89450

    here is a link to the heater offered at Grainger;

    Where do you get 480 V to run this? I've heard of 220 and 240 but 480?

    Sorry I should have read first -- looks like you have to install a 480V, 3-phase setup to run this...heavy stuff.

    Yes, exactly what the electrician told me. It's heavy duty as I understand. Just a dumb, but aggressive purchase, I wanted to be warm! It's good for a BIG garage or shop/warehouse.

    Supposed to be efficient to run for the amount of heat it provides.

    Now. $225. Nice opportunity!

    Dimensions, sorry I forgot to add these.

    Height; 21.75"
    Width; 19"
    Depth; 8.5"

    Weighs roughly 40lbs.

    With a bulky 40lbs. box, guessing shipping will be around $75. to make $300. (shipped) and I can ship today.

    480V is US standard typically used for industrial applications, in Canada it's 600V for the same (can't use a 480 device in Canada without a step down transformer).

    It usually costs me about $12,000 to bring 480 into one of our buildings. Some of my tenants require it (I make them pay for the cost, but I orchestrate the process). Sometimes the Utility company will do their part for free, if my tenant guarantees them a certain volume use of electricity, then it only costs about $6,000.
    This would make a great dirty Santa present?

    I think this is for the space that already has the required electrical in place. My little old cabin didn't. Thanks.
