Garage Heaters

Utilize Garage Storage Space
Protect Everything All Year

Utilize Your Garage and Garage Storage Space all year with Garage Heaters. Even though the garage attached to the Average American home is 20% of space, they are seldom heated.

Whether you are using your garage for storage, a work area or just park your cars in it, garage heaters can benefit you.

Heating the garage helps to utilize your Garage Storage Space and protect everything in it during colder weather periods.

The four types of heaters best suited for the garage are Ceramic Element Heaters, Coil Based or Fan Forced Heaters, Oil Filled Radiators and Reflective Heaters.

Ceramic Garage Heaters

Ceramic Element Heaters are efficient and safer than the older style coil based heaters. The ceramic core is generally bigger than standard heating coils and operate at much lower temperatures.

Ceramic Heaters generally have a higher efficiency rating than coil based heaters. The materials used provide heat over a larger area, hold heat for a longer time, similar to an hydronic or oil filled heater.

Oil Filled Radiators

Oil Filled Radiators use a heating fluid which is sealed in the radiator that you never need to refill. An internal heating element heats the oil which then radiates the heat into the garage.

This type of heater is very efficient because the internal heating element is not always on. Once the heating fluid reaches the predetermined temperature, the internal element shuts off and the fluid radiates the heat. When the heating fluid cools, the element turns on and again heats the fluid to the desired temperature.

Because there is no fan, Oil Filled Radiators are exceptionally quiet.

Coil Based Heaters

Coil Based Heaters or Fan Forced Heaters use the infrared wavelength to heat metallic coils within the heater. The coils then emit infrared energy to heat air then have a fan force the air into the garage.

Coil Based Heaters should have a safety mesh to keep any objects from coming in touch with their heating elements.

Another type of Coil Based Heater is the Baseboard Electric Heater. They are similar to coil heaters, but are usually larger longer so they release heat over a wider area.

Radiant Heaters

Radiant Heaters distribute heat the way the sun does, using radiation. Like heat from the sun, heat from an radiant heater travels outward striking objects directly in its path. The heat is then conducted from the heated surfaces to the surrounding air, where it sets up convection currents, gently distributing the heat evenly

Halogen Heaters

Halogen Heaters or Reflective Heaters are a relatively new heating technology. They use energy saving halogen bulb technology to deliver warmth to nearby people or objects, similar to heat from the sun.

This is a direct heating method that provides better levels of comfort to the person than older technologies. Similar to heat from the sun, you immediately feel the warmth provided by the Halogen Heater.

Infrared Heaters

Infrared Heaters are commonly used as spot heaters. With a spot heater, all the air in a room is not heated. You can be kept warmer even in a cold room because Infrared Heaters heat objects not air.

Some infrared garage heaters use a quartz glass heating element and some use a metal sheath tubular element. Metal heaters last longer, do not emit light, and are more resistant to damage.

Quartz heating elements heat up quicker and have a higher efficiency rating than Infrared Heaters.

You can better utilize your garage storage space, and also protect everything in it during colder weather periods, by adding one or more efficient garage heaters.
