can these be used inside garages with the garage doors open?

They are very smoky. I don't think using them in a garage would work out very well.

I cannot see what it would hurt, if you don't let the garage fill with smoke.

I personally wouldn't use them inside the garage, because I have gas cans, mowers, weedeat eaters, etc in there, and don't want to take the risk of anything getting ignited. I've read some of the reviews, where other people use these things inside their homes, and I wouldn't recommend that, either. I would think that these would probably be effective in the garage, as you mentioned, with the door open, just be careful when you're lighting them, if you have fuel cans etc around. By the way, I also prefer the PIC coils to this brand, but have bought this brand a couple of times because the price was so low. I feel this brand breaks as you're trying to separate the coils more frequently than the PiC brand.. Probably just my opinion!

I believe G7 recommends against that. I have them in fixtures inside my garage, but they are not directly exposed to the elements.

That is not the way that I have it but do not see any reason why not. the shutters are not that heavy to open and the force of the fan should be able to open them up even when the unit would be upward.

Long as there is no open air space to the outside yes. This puts out a lot of heat very quickly. It will not be 80* everywhere in the garage, but will in front of it and it will be comfortable and tolerable everywhere in the enclosed space.

These are meant for cabinet doors from inside. You may have to contact Stabilus directly to get the correct one for outdoor use.

I am quite sure that you can. I used one on the inside of the house & one on the inside of the garage. I used them that way because, I am going to remodel the kitchen & it was faster and warmer. It was January in Minnesota. Hope this was helpful, Terry S.

I use mind inside. I do not think they are made for the out doors but not sure. You would have to ask the manufacturer.

Yes, I use in the garage. I like LED instead of CFL for cold places. LED's don't have a warm-up time.

Yes, you can. We don't typically do this because our windows are older and we don't want people to break into the house, but if you have windows that you can lock when they are open then this isn't an issue.

I can't say definitely. We are using them inside. They do not appear weatherproof so my best guess would be "no". Here in SoCal there are many outdoor uses where they would be fine but that does not make them OK for other (wetter / colder) outdoor situations.

They are indoor only. I would definitely not advise using them outdoors. Even in an entry alcove.

Yes you could, but I really doubt it would have any benefit. tHEY work best in enclosed spaces that humans do not inhabit. SmALL Barns, Garages, AND Storage Buildings, are ideal.

I use two in my garage door opening. I set them in a slight zig-zag patern and connect the to the door rails with zip ties. This is a reliable and rugged brand. My dog is 12lbs.

I think they would work great for garages I use them in my grow room and I run them for 12-20 hrs a day and they work great

I used mine inside the house because of the weather vs. electronics. No they are for inside. If you weather proof them like I did and put them inside a water tight PVC tube with PVC cap on the end they will be okay.

As long as it is anchored to ceiling beams, you shouldn't have any problem using it in any room. My garage is sheet rocked, so it's just like any other room in the house. Hope that's helpful.
