can this be installed in a small house to heat the house, not a garage?

I would not recommend that because a) it does not have any way to take in fresh outside air, meaning you would have negative pressure in your house and would be using your breathing air for combustion, b) it would not distribute heat throughout the house...you'd need ductwork, and c) it's pretty loud for inside a house. Not bad for a garage, but not great for a house. I think there must be better ways to heat a small house, including electric radiant heaters. You could buy several for the cost of one of these. Just my opinion.

No, you will regret it the day you turn it on. Also if you check on-line you will be able to find a furnace for a lot less money. Thanks,Shurail HVAC

I don't know why not. It generates a little heat and needs ventilation for the fan, so don't trim tight to it. We have it in a small clothes closet in our motorhome.

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.

Yes, as long as your heating/cooling system supports this. (i.e. You need the appropriate wiring in the wall.)

I wouldn't use it to heat my house for sure but as long as you have a window or door cracked a couple inches for ventilation it would be okay to cook a meal or make some coffee in an emergency power outage. Just keep it on low heat to reduce emissions and don't leave unattended or take a nap with it left on, you may not wake up. ;-)

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

Simply put, no, you may not. Use the heater in any space that has adequate ventilation. open the garage door a couple of inches and go ahead and light it up!

Yes, I use mine in the garage after purchasing a pool table. Heats the double garage in 15 Min. great product, definitely recommend.

This heater works well with its fan blowing the heat, but how well for a garage will depend on how large your garage and it's placement, I would think. Good luck.

If it's a small enclosed space like a cubicle it will work. I use these in my garage and barn for heating small areas and they are perfect for that since they don't get very hot to the touch.

I would definitely not install anything that is supposed to be installed outdoors in a shed. The chimney on this heater is very short, basically a few inches with a cap, and I would worry both about combustion byproducts and fire safety if it were installed in an enclosed space. There are on-demand heaters rated for indoor installation. You could hang it on the wall outside the shed.

No. This is a line voltage thermostat (120/240 volts) for electric heat only. Look for something comparable in low voltage.

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

Absolutely you need a small heater. I use a tiny electric heater that is thermostat controlled.

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.

It can, I installed mine that way, it requires a little handy work like drilling a 3/8 hole on the face plate of the intake side and remounting the switch, later I installed a thermo switch and used that, set to come on at 78 and off at 70 transferring heat from a pellet stove to another room.

Absolutely. We put this in our cabin as back heat in the event we are not there when a power outage occurs. We have one in our home - it does a wonderful job - be sure to run ceiling fans if you are planning to use it on a regular basis as they can cause house to sweat.
