Garage heat

About used..............and if you do the install yourself........

Again, be aware of combustion hazards. Been a few years, but ignition sources in a garage are supposed to be 18"? 24" off the floor? This is supposed to be "above" low lying gas vapors, etc, so keep that in mind.

It would be better if you find one that is known as "sealed combustion" or "outside air for combustion. Older furnaces draft the intake/ combustion air into the burner right from the heated space.

Ideal would be a "downflow" and you could hang that thing up into the "rafters" to get it out of the way and direct the heat downwards

Best to-and required most places I'm aware--to keep the LP tank out doors. Be aware that small tanks may not vaporize properly in extreme cold weather. They need enough space in the top to form vapor and keep up with use. So if you are "going cheap" with portable tanks, you may need to run two in parallel to combat the problem

Research and be aware of "clearance to combustibles." Many furnaces, overall, only require 1" clearance. "B" vent needs 1" and "C" or single wall pipe is 6". This can be reduced in certain instances with shielding, IE stand off metal sheet with airspace both sides The previous was for gas/ LP and not oil or wood. You can run "B" vent clear outside with a what is called "listed cap." Easy way to avoid roof damage is to elbow it out the gable end, or depending on garage construction, out through high on the side wall and then up past the roof with support brackets. You must have a certain amount of roof clearance depending on roof pitch.

So basically you need an LP furnace that's appropriate/ fixable/ useable, some vent, some piping for LP gas and some hose/ connections, and a cord/ cap to plug it in. It does not need to be "hard wired." And of course a cheap wall stat
