Can you use inside a cold garage??

Advise checking with the manufacturer. If the door is closed, I expect it would increase risk relative to oxygen levels. Also ceiling height would be a key consideration as a substantial amount of heat surrounds the top of the unit.

Having been a 10 year member of a refinery fire brigade, I would strongly recommend not using this heater in an enclosed area like a garage for a couple of reasons. Any burning hydrocarbon, i.e. butane, gives off carbon monoxide. This is considered the "Silent Killer". The second reason, this heater has an open flame. Any containers of flammable liquids could be ignited by this flame if vapors are released or stored to close for the pressure rating on the container. This heater works great, but should only be used in a well ventilated area.

Yes... I bought it for my grandkids, and it's been set up in the garage several times during colder weather. Basement? Well - if the ceiling is high enough, it should work fine, too.

would this heater work as well as others have said in a 2 car garage that isn't insulated?

Mine works great. Three stal garage just use it to keep above freezing. It is expensive to run.

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.

Yes. Good idea for unheated garage where CFL is dim when cold. Otherwise old incandescent bulbs are OK since usage is very low.

I purchased one awhile back, but for my garage, indoors. However, I am sure you could use it under and eve, but I am not sure I would have it exposed to the elements, ie rain / snow getting in it, you may be asking for bigger problems.

We have ours inside, but we live in a hotter part of SoCal than you. I would bet that garage storage in such a mild climate like yours, doesn't really affect it much.

yes, just make sure the temp difference between outside and inside isn't great. Like is shouldn't be freezing outside

It's probably not recommended, but I did last winter. I'd light it, close the garage, leave it running for 10 minutes to heat up the garage, then head back into the garage and stay working with the door closed. I never ran into issues, but my garage is not exactly airtight. I was always watching signs of oxygen deprivation or carbon monoxide poisoning, but never encountered any.

Temperature in a garage could be too low but if it's a play room used by humans it should be OK

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.

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.

This is outdoor only. It has to be in an exterior open aired space. No interior garage installation allowed. that would vent harmful exhaust into the garage. They sell the indoor unit and will require proper venting flue. Both indoor and outdoor units are great!

I wouldn't the coils will freeze. I would do some research on using a dehumidifier in a garage at 30F

I believe as long as you have a place to vent it out of the space you are trying to cool, it should work. Just make sure that where ever you vent it out to, that it is ok to vent really warm air in there. This is a powerful machine and the air that it circulates out is hot. But it works really well cooling the space, I had it in an above garage room that would normally be very hot and it worked great!

I think it would work fine in a small garage-if your intention is to set it low to keep pipes from freezing, if you intend to heat the garage in a cold area it would probably run constantly. pretty simple design, the only issue I had was to replace the fan motor as it had worn out after a couple years of use.
