7500W Electric Garage Heater, 240V Hardwired Digital Ceiling Mount Fan-Forced Shop Heater with Full-Function Remote and 12-Hour Timer, Ideal for Workshop Warehouse

Using this to heat a three bay garage. Works great. Heats the garage fast when I need to warm up the space for mid winter work outs or car maintenance. Easy to hang and it’s fairly light. Hardest part was having to wire up a 40 amp 240 volt circuit ahead of time.

This was ordered for a garage/shop. This is listed as hardwired but I installed a dryer plug and put a dryer outlet in the outlet box. No issues installing the dryer plug. The heater has been used a short time. It is quiet and throws good heat. I noted that the remote has all the same functions as the buttons on the unit. No need to touch the heating unit if mounted high in the room. Unit appears to be well make and looks good in the shop. I was going to purchase a more expensive unit but it wqent out of stock and I decided to order this one. I'm not disappointed.

Great shop/garage heater. So far has worked great...warms up my garage fast...does suck the power though...about the same as running costs of propane...maybe a little cheaper...I would highly recommend this heating unit.

Installed in November. Seems to work as intended. At 0 degrees it warmed up my single car garage to 30 degrees or so, albeit it run for 4-6 hours to get there. Hope it's built to last

I wish I had read all the lower rating reviews before purchasing. The ad claims the following: “Wide Area Heating”, “27 FT Remote Coverage” and “Heating Cover Up To 1250 SQ FT” Wide area heating must be a personal definition that needs to be explained. I installed in my garage, just under 400 sq ft, and it does not do the job I thought it would. It definitely does not heat 1250 sq ft. If it does, it must take days to heat up. I have a very expensive insulated door and the garage and attic are all very well insulated. Here is a description of a test I ran to see how effective it was: Outside Temp 32 degrees, I set to 90 degrees and ran it for 3 hours 8:50a - 53 degrees in garage 10a - after 80 min and 36 degrees outside, 69 degrees in garage 10:50a - 43 degrees outside and 73 degrees in garage 11:50a - 46 degrees outside and 76 degrees in garage One thing about the temperature in the garage, the thermostat is mounted on the wall by the home entry door, at about 7 ft off the garage floor, or 4-5 ft from ceiling. It is warmer air in the upper area of the garage. As I take 3 steps down to the garage floor, the temperature drastically drops. Meaning, although the louvers are turned downward toward the floor, the hot air from the fan is not reaching the floor, and is only heating up the upper atmosphere of the room. I turned the unit back on to have run for another 5 hours. After 2 hours or running, outside temp is 49 degrees and inside garage is 79 degrees. It has taken almost 5 hours to heat up a small garage only 23 degrees. Seems like it should take only an hour or two at the most, to heat up such a small space, to where the temp inside the garage would be well into the upper mid to upper 80s, not 5 hours. 3 hour time did work and shut off as stated by company. That is my experience, and although it does emit heat, and the garage (upper atmosphere area) is warmer, the space near the floor, where I would be working, is still cooler. My assumption is it could take more than 24 hours in order to heat up and maintain anything in the 80s, considering the evening temps drop possibly into the 20 or lowers. We will see how things go come Jan/Feb. After this, my recommendation would be to go with a bigger unit than you think you need, especially if you are in a colder climate. UPDATE: Because the upper portion of the garage heats up faster than the lower portion and the heater doesn't heat up fast enough in order to heat the lower section, meaning the air closest to the floor, because the heater registers that the upper air is warmer and has reached the temperature that you've set, the unit will shut off, not continuing to heat the lower portion of the room or any part of the room. I would definitely not spend the money, or put it towards a better/bigger unit.

I wanted to heat the garage for use in the winter when doing projects for around the house. The garage was insulated to help with cold winter weather found in the rocky mountain range. This thing works. I have had no issues with it. I did have a full sub-panel on in the garage so the wiring was straight forward. I did use a heavy duty plug rather than fully directly wiring it. I bought a cord and the plug and surface mount box from here: https://www.amazon.com/Leviton-55050-Receptacle-Industrial-Grounding/dp/B00004YUNO?ref_=ast_sto_dp And a matching pigtail cord. After that I just followed the instructions. Wiring the cord into the header. Wired and mounted the surface mount box and I enjoyed 1 full winter with a warm garage when it was needed. Since it is mounted on the ceiling I love this thing has a remote. The only issue I have is not the heaters fault.... Not at all. The ceiling is fairly high and the garage is a good size... the heat builds up above me. So I have it set at a higher temperature than I would have thought needed for it to heat long enough to get it down to me. I am considering adding a ceiling fan to try and help improve the circulation. But for me the bottom line is that it works, and does so amazingly well. After a full winter of typical use being only on the weekends it still looks and acts brand new. I do recall in some of the reviews a statement about it being loud or having a grinding noise. Mine does not. Well not after the fan first starts. The first few seconds the fan is louder than during use. But honestly once it has come up to speed, just a few seconds, it is quiet and just hums along. I had looked at a number of options and competitor products. I looked at Kerosene heaters, natural gas heaters, and smaller and larger electric alternatives. For Kerosene I didn't want to have to store it or be able to run out of it mid-way thru a project. For natural gas, which heats my home, I would have had to run pipe to it that carried a potentially explosive material. So that would have have to be hired out and it... concerned me so I passed. The electric alternatives all seemed about the same except for the price and the remote option. This one was exactly what I was looking for and exactly what I wanted. Should anything happen I would get another heater like this, and if possible this same one as a replacement. I would recommend it highly.

Item was well packaged having 4 plastic reinforcing corners on the bottom of the box. Despite that, the foam that is packed in the box was cracked all around indicating the typical rough handling of packages we have come to expect from the delivery service in our area. I mounted the bracket 16" off the back wall of my garage, which lined up with a ceiling joist. I had a 50' piece of #10/4 SOOW cabtire with a 230V Hubbel twistlock connector in the middle. I wired it directly to a double 40A GFCI breaker that I had previously used to run the hot tub I no longer own. While I had the bottom off, I noticed some of the wires that went up into the heater section were bearing quite tightly to the edge of the access holes in the main heater floor panel, so I installed rubber grommets in the holes and manipulated the wires so there is now less tension on them. After installing the bottom cover and powering it up, there was a slight smell from the first-run of the heating elements. Just a note that there is no instruction manual with this unit, so if you don't feel comfortable around electricity, don't try to wire it up yourself. For the ground "bolt, I just split the #10 stranded wire in two equal sections and twisted them around the shank of the bolt. I had previously added a larger diameter washer to the bolt to ensure the ground wire was fully captured. I was unaware how the 3 switches worked initially, but if you look at the wiring diagram, it shows switch 0/I as one heater element and the fan, II and III are just additional heating elements. From reading the advertisement of a different heater (same features, just different colour) I understand that the O/I switch is 3000W, then switch II brings it to 4000W and all 3 switches make 5000W. I can tell you that with the thermostat set at 1/4 of the way the switches at the 4000W setting, it heated up my garage overnight (about 6 hours of running) to the point where everything in my garage was at. or above room temperature. When I checked current flow through the cable, it was reading about 18A. I have since been running it on the low temperature switch and left the thermostat at the 1/4 of the full sweep of the dial and it's toasty warm in my garage. This unit replaced a 120V 14" infrared heater that was encased in an aluminum body, (like a big halogen flood light, only emitting a red light) having a tempered glass window. It got really hot if you were too close to it. I ran a 6" 3-speed fan behind it to provide some convection and it would warm the garage ok, but even overnight, my tools hanging 10' away behind my workbench would still feel cold to touch. This is not the case with the new heater. It's pleasant to be in there now, even when the overnights were -12 here, the whole garage is warm because everything gets heat-soaked. I have read in some comments that the fan motor may be loose, etc. I did not check every screw, but I definitely will to be sure. I would rate this as a 4.5 stars only because there was no manual included to explain the operation. Update: 1 month later This unit is still working great. We have had some very cold spells in the Niagara region this winter and it's so nice to open the garage door and feel a wave of heat coming up from under the door. I figured out the operation of the 3 switches. Each switch engages a separate heating element, so if you need to heat up the space very quickly, flip them all on. I will turn the thermostat almost all the way down when I am finished in the garage for the day and leave just the first switch on.

Great heater with adjustable heat control. Heats my garage through temperature control which saves me hydro. Highly recommended

Does the trick, but a remote would be nice. And the switches seem a bit superfluous. I have a two-car garage, uninsulated. It keeps the space warm enough to use, but it switches on a lot. That's to be expected given the lack of insulation.

Like y'all I needed supplemental heat in my unheated garage. The 400sf garage is insulated and has a quality door and window so has never dipped below freezing, but I have 2 chest freezers and a fridge in there so I want to keep the temp above 10C, preferably 13ish. I wired this unit is using 12AWG and it works great! I am using it on the 3000W setting and the thermostat is at 8 o'clock and the temp bounces between 12 and 14. The thing barely runs! Couldn't be more pleased. I figure it is costing about $0.25 a day when the temp outside drops below 12C. Totally worth it. There is also a ceiling fan in there running on low which helps I am sure. It costs $0.05 a day and runs 24/7. Considering the cost of food, this is no-brainer insurance.

Only mounts to ceiling not wall as bracket holes not at 16" centers. Thermostat does not hold temperature set point, wandering from 5 to 20 deg C with a set point of 10 degrees.
