I wanted to add heat to our garage, so here's the heater I chose and a complete detailed video of the install. Enjoy!
Nice install. You'll have a nice warm place to do some work. I could definitely hear that the fan is fairly loud. Have a great weekend Sam!
Thanks, you too!
Great upgrade!!! You needed that heater 😁I like to take a die grinder or Dremel tool to those stubborn knock out. Just sharing an idea. Thanks for the video😁👍🚜💨☀
I was thinking there had to be a better way, thanks for the tip! It is a real luxury to have a heated workspace 😁👍
I'm betting it's not built here! But what is. Quality is a huge issue nowadays! Great video.
Oh, I'm pretty sure there's nothing American about it, lol. Budget is always a factor 🙄 Thank you!!!
I've used infrareds for many many years I just got the same heater but with a blue flame, I got it with a thermostat but actually like them better without thermostats especially with an infrared it takes a minute to glow red at least with a blue flame it turns on and off with the same size flame, The infrareds I used in the past just turned on a certain amount of burners and stayed on all the time The blue flame with no thermostat has like a low medium high blue flame I think that's better than thermostats
Thanks for the information about "blue flame" heaters. I really like the way this one is working right now, but the fan is ineffective and a waste of money. The radiant heat is perfect for my size of garage 😁👍
Nice !!!
Hey Sam ! Catfish here ! This video was a real gas ! Is it ok to refer to you as Mr MacGyver ? I’d like to see you fix the economy and bring peace to our world . All with a used piece of gum and a match ! 😊 Nice video !
Hahaha! You're too funny 😂 somebody needs to do something! Maybe we can change it one MacGyver at a time? 😉👍
Did you have any issues with a melting plastic smell? I don’t think it’s fuel lol. Just finished installing mine and it’s stinking up the whole garage. It’s not comfortable to be in there, let alone work out, which was my whole reason for getting it.
And my bracket was really tight to the wall so it makes it difficult to turn the fan on and off. Looks like you easily got back there at the end of your vid, though.
I did not have any plastic smell when I ran mine. That's very concerning. The fan switch is difficult to get to but I can manage to get my finger behind to turn it on/off. I hope the smell goes away!
I plan on just getting a regular fan And just placing it a couple of feet in front of the unit
That's exactly what I'm doing now. Definitely don't like the one I installed. 👍
Any issue with gas smell after an hour? I recently had Mr Heater 30K btu installed in garage and after an hour the smell of gas is strongish. Already checked for leaks.
I have not experienced and gas smells. There is a faint smell I assume comes from just the burning and the heat, but nothing concerning.
Have you had any problems with the quick connect fitting?
Not yet (knock on wood) but I've heard they can leak. I'm watching it closely 😁👍
I also own one. This type heater is amazing, but i can tell you that with infrared heat, that extra fan is not needed.
Agreed 👍 I hope this video helps others not to waste money on the fan.
I would assume the non infrared heat version would benefit from a fan of some sort?
@@fanoftheboxtoo after using it for a year, the fan is absolutely not necessary. It is nice to have a box fan on the opposite side of the garage to circulate the air, which would give the same effect for any heater in any room.
@fanoftheboxtoo yes. Because the blue flame version actually throws heat out into the room, a fan would increase the heat flow. The infrared version only heats the objects in the room. It does not necessarily "throw heat."
@@samsdoinstuff perfect thanks. just ordered the blue flame version with the fan and plan to use a standard fan to move air as you stated
What is the red plastic button looking thing that comes with the
I looked back at the video and I honestly have no idea what that is. I don't think I needed or used it in the install 🤔
25 years in the oil field say tape gas dope fluid. quick conector can start to leak .
Thank you for the advice! I will watch it closely and re-do those fittings with tape. I really appreciate it 🙏 😁👍
does the thermostac turn it off and on?
The black knob on top has settings 1-5, and it will turn the heat on and off when it reaches a temperature complimentary to that setting. There isn't a traditional thermostat with a desired temperature setting. You can, however experiment with which setting will give you the desired amount of heat and as I did, learn where to set it in regards to how cold the room temperature is. Hope this helps 🤠👍
Glad you didn't hit the wires in the wall when hanging.
That stud finder tells me when I'm near electricity 👍
Just thought you might want to tell us viewers that.
@@davidnelson677ummmm.
You could have mounted it much lower heat rises and they do make optional feet so they can sit on the ground
👍
Why do my heater pop an make noise when it starts an when it cuts off
That definitely sounds like something you should call the manufacturer about. 👍
@@samsdoinstuff thanks
The fan doesn't work that good anyways
I agree. Noisy and ineffective 🙄
Ours doesn’t work on auto. Very disappointing.
The internal fan works. Good enough to blow a little heat out, as. With a. Wood stove a external fan is your best friend
Ain’t dumb shit aggravating lol I’ve tried to remove them pop outs as they call them they tear more stuff up than they do good lol and I’ve learned to do my own measurements too bud !!
I knew someone out there felt my pain, lol! Someone said cut the pop out points with a grinder... really? I shouldn't have to get an angle grinder out for that. Anyway... the heater is working great. Just shouldn't have bought the optional fan 🤠👍
Are you still satisfied with the heater? Also, what the size of your garage?
Yes, I am still very satisfied with the heater, but I still do not recommend getting the fan. If you want to circulate the air, just use a box fan. My garage is approximately 34'x23' and even on a day in the low teens (F°) I can bring it up to a comfortable 50° in about an hour. I should also mention my garage is insulated and attached to the house 🤠👍
@@samsdoinstuff Great! I just picked up the 30000 at Lowe's on clearance for $110. Couldn't beat it. I should have bought them out so I have heaters for the off grid log mansion.
I plan on making mine portable, like mounted on a dolly...not sure yet. But this will definitely heat my two car shed.
Thank you for the info, and, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Be blessed!
@@mnight207 You are very welcome 🙏
Condensation maker?
I haven't had a problem with condensation as of yet 👍
Not uncommon for gas heaters to create condensation on windows ' doors due to ambient temputures.
Bill in Arkansas
I can see a fan in mine but wont turn on thinking its bad
Could be. You don't need it anyway.
Can I use propane
Not sure if they have a propane version but I have the Mr Heater Little Buddy for propane and it's really good too 😁👍
I have the propane version. Don’t waste your money on the fan. Not needed.
According to the directions they only want you to use the two outside holes anyways,
Thank you! I needed to get it high enough for the fan cord to reach the outlet. It has been working great and I love having a heated garage 😁👍
Is that a AAA battery
Yes it is 😁👍
Not a Big fan of the quick connect option too many chances for gas leaks
Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to watch for that 👌
if sam cant figure it right out its impossible
Haha! You're too kind 😁👍
Needs a drip leg installed...
You're absolutely right. Would you put it right before the right angle that leads into the heater?
@5:18 Well, I do not like the way the back of your hair was trimmed but we all live with it?! Stopped complaining the back of the unit knockout is fine...
🤣
Don't use a galvanized nipple. You can use black pipe, brass, and stainless. Galvanized pipe can explode with gas in it.
Good to know. Thank you! 👍
