Will it keep a garage (approx 20'x20') warm. Doesn't need to be hot and car doors are insulated. Bedrooms are above garage and you can feel the cold

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.

Well it heats up my small bedroom of about 120SF... Might not put out enough heat for an uninsulated garage that size.

I installed in the winter and never had an issue. VA doesn't get too cold for long but it does get in the 20's and 30's. As I said, never had an issue...attached unheated garage.

Mine stays in a bonus room over the garage and we only heat and cool when we use the room. It depends on your climate, but mine has been unaffected by the temp changes. I was a little concerned, but the kit is really pretty sturdy. It's cute! It can really be played.

The heater works very well for me. I installed it in a 2 bay garage with 15 foot ceiling where I can work on my cars with a 4 post lift. Even on the coldest days the unit will heat the garage to 68/69 degrees within a half an hour.

Garages are usually not sealed and cold air will come in and hot air going out. You'll likely need to have it facing you at close proximity to feel the warmth. This would apply to any other heaters this size. But if you do have a sealed garage, and depending on its size, it will have to be left on for a few hours before you feel warmth throughout the room.

If the temp is below 50 degrees, this thing will warm the garage slightly...however, it will not work well in a colder garage.

I have a two car garage that's fairly well insulated and rarely see the temp below 50 on the coldest days. Normally 60. Cars have instant heat because of the heat. This is the second year using this heater and it just hums away. Hope this helps. Oh yea attached garage.

I have two in an insulated 4 car garage with 14 foot ceiling and when outside temps of 30 - 35 it keeps the garage about 60.

Sure, but I think it would be a waste and it won't do squat to heat the garage. It is really only suitable for heating a very small enclosed area, like a small bathroom. If you are using it to keep you warm while at a work bench in the garage or something, it might work if you keep it a couple of feet from you. Overall, I'd suggest saving your money and buying another product.

It depends if your garage is insulated or not. Mine isn't but it keeps part of it warm. I used it last year to do my wife's brake job and it was 0 degrees outside. It was chilly but no where near as it was outside. Propane wise 2 hours a week should last about a month or even more easy.

This will cool a small room. Will not cool a whole house. You will need to leave the door closed to get it really cooled.\It will cool my bedroom 16x14 with the door closed and not turning it off. Hope that helps.

Is your garage fully insulated to prevent heat transfer? If so, the unit may work to keep one end of the garage cool if you were to blow it on you from a distance adjusted for comfort. You need to calculate the volume of air you are trying to cool compared to the unit's rating. If it is not large enough, you may need a larger size.

Our garage is 24x26 one story and this heater heats it up from cold to 68 in about 10 min. There is a btu formula available on the internet.

2.2 is about right. its pretty plush. its effective. keeps the garage at garage in low 50's on 30 degree nights. assuming all your exterior garage walls are insulated well too. some builders cut corners and skip wallls.

my door is 16x9.5 2" insulated and it works perfectly. it does run at a slower speed than say a residential 2 car garage but not an issue

Lol, given it is a garage heater yes it works. It heats my 440 sq foot 2 car garage with ease it has insulation in the ceiling. However it requires a 240v 30 amp outlet. Should be ok with no insulation too. It will surprise you - should maintain 65-70 degrees on high with no insulation in temps to around 20. I usually keep it on half thermostat to take the chill off unless I'm working on a project, then I turn it way up and heats the 440 sq ft garage to 70-75 in about 10 minutes from 50. Will work just fine for your small room. Keep the thermostat on auto and desired temp if using constantly as this should help with your electric bill.
