okay, it's starting to cold here and working in the garage is not fun at this moment (cold floor, cold tools...everything is cold !!! )
how good are the heaters that use a propane tank? ~how long to they last?? I finally had to turn on the heater inside the house this week....even as cheap as I am, 60° is getting into the uncomfortable zone.....damn, there goes my PG&E bill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

I tried the non-vented propane heater and electric baseboards.
A 30 lb tank is only good for about a weekend, and the air tends to smell funky after awhile if there is any dust / paint / solvent / etc in the air. Since I ran 220 out there for the welder, I just snagged a couple of baseboard heaters from HD and throttle the temp by plugging them in or not. Electric is a tad more expensive than propane, but there are no open flames, and I don't have to worry about stopping and shlepping a tank out for refill, or running out when the place is closed for the day. |
