will it heat a 12x18 garage/workshop in winter climate??

It provides heat but is also very bright. The room will be orange! It doesn't provide a ton of heat for us, however we use our in an open cabana with no walls Sonia lot of heat escapes.

It would depend on the outdoor conditions. It would work. But it's not going to be amazing

I installed it in a similar space, but an open-shed environment. It heats well if you are in the path of the light. Over time it may heat an enclosed space, but the space will need to capture the infrared light to re-radiate it.

It is hard to guess. We only use this small space heater on our outdoor patio to heat an outdoor swing. We have ours hanging from the inside of the overhang/roof, facing directly onto the swing, which is about 5' away from someone sitting on the swing. When I sit next to the swing, I don't receive any heat, only immediately in front of the heater on the swing itself. So my guess is no, but for our needs, it has been fine.

The 60000 btu would work great. It is over sized but for the priceit is worth it. I have 750 sq ft garage with 12ft ceiling and it heats it up fast. Less strain on the unit.

I think it will heat it well, but I am not sure how long the tank will last. Could get expensive. Do you have electricity in the shed?

That is a hard question to answer as it would depend on the climate, but under moderate weather conditions I believe it would certainly make a difference in the garage. When set on high, it sits there and radiates a very good amount of heat. If possible I would position it under the bedroom so as the heat rises it would assist that area.

This heater has two heat settings. I believe they are 600 & 1200 watts. It would depend on what the outside temperature is and how warm you'd like to keep your garage. If you just want to keep the temperature above freezing during very cold weather...yes it probably would. However if your desire is to keep your garage at 65 degrees when the outside temperature is 25 degrees, then this particular heater does not produce enough BTU's.

I use it in a three car garage(720 sq ft) to take the chill off when I'm working out there. It works out quite well for me. I like it and myself I think it would heat a 20x13 room.

I heat a workshop in my basement that is 25 x 25 and it is more than adequate all winter. The temp in the winter before switching the heater on is approx 55 deg F and it gets up to 65-70 which is where I set the thermostat. Takes about 15-20 mins and then it cycles on an off every few mins.

I use mine to heat a (40'x50') 2000 square foot garage. My walls are 12 feet high with a 17 foot center. This heater warms the whole garage so I can work comfortably. I shut it off when it is warm enough to work (about an hour). Since my entire garage is insulated, it holds the heat for a couple of hours. In a one car garage, it will cook you. The unit is simple and very lightweight but requires a 100lb propane cylinder to operate properly. Seems to be a bit much for a one car garage. Maybe a smaller BTU unit which will operate on a 20lb tank might be a better choice for you.

I would say No...it has a "thermostat" dial, and in our large garage it keeps it at 45 degrees at the lowest setting during the winter. The first on e I bought would not cycle on and off , so make sure its working like it should.

The unit runs constantly, but it does adjust the heat output to what you set the temperature at, movement of air always helps you maintain the inside temp., I use mine in my workshop and it does very well, my shop is 24' x 24', so far I am well satisfied. the unit dimensions are 24" wide x 15" tall.

I would say probably not very well if your garage gets that hot. This isn't an air conditioner, it's just a fan so if you want something that can cool down a garage that hot, this isn't the fan for you.It will probably feel like the hot air is just blowing around your garage.

If you leave this heater in a garage when it gets to 12 degrees F outside, it will be destroyed. Ask me how I know this. I am getting ready to order a new one. You absolutely have to protect it from freezing.

Assuming that it's a small 1 car garage, yes. Given the other responses to your question, I will echo all of those as well. It's a great heater for the money.

Probably so, I have two of them in my motorhome, which is approx. 300sq.ft and they kept it at 72 degrees inside, while outside got down to 28 degrees! It depends on sq.ft. of the garage, and how well it is insulated, you might need two.

I don't think it is big enough to heat a 2 car garage. I used it on my closed in porch that is over my 2 car garage (which has a large ceiling) and it didn't do a thing. It was in the 30 degree temperature. Just not big enough for that large an area.

It will heat an 800 sq ft room in just a few minutes and keep it warm without much effort. I have not tried it in a larger room but, I am sure it would easily heat a two car garage with no problem.

Walt, it depends on how cold your garage gets. You didn't state how insulated the area is or if the garage is attached. My garage is a large 3 car attached and well insulated garage with a 12' ceiling. When we are in the low teens (rarely) the temperature in the garage drops to the mid forty's. I'll turn the unit on in the morning and it takes about an hour to bring it up to the upper 50's. Eventually I'll run it till it hits the mid 60's and keep it there throughout the day. If your room is near 0 degrees or poorly insulated, you will need a much bigger heater. Wenatchee sounds pretty cold.... Walt, it depends on how cold your garage gets.
