That's exactly what I will be doing. I have ordered everything I need. Will be installing it all hopefully this coming weekend. I am installing a 240v plug for the heater unit and a 110v out beside it for a fan.
3/4 inch flex conduit was supposed to be terminated at knockout on heater. That strap was for the wire themselves or if you used an SOOW cord with strain relief through side of heater and wanted to strap cord down. People brush of breakers being wrong just because it fits but a lot of it is the metallurgy and galvanic corrosion issues.
What a cool shop space you've got there. Love the decor. I have a 30x50 with 14ft walls and a 400 square ft loft which is a cool hangout spot with tv and furniture. I have spray foam on all walls and ceilings and it was expensive but I am so glad I did it early on. I have a little electric oil radiant heater that stays on all the time and it's unbelievable how well that little thing does in here. I use a propane space heater to heat it up quickly then just let the little electric maintain. I plan to install a 15k BTU mini split next year for heat and cooling. Just installed a 2 post lift today also! So excited about that!
I have a similar one that is 10,000 watts. It has worked great for me for the last 5 years. One important thing to remember though is that if your shop isn’t well insulated you will be throwing money away to your utility company. My shop is 950 sqft. 8 foot ceilings. The only time I run the unit is when I am in the shop. I went above and beyond with insulation. 10” of blown in attic cat over 6” batts of insulation in the attic. My shop never gets below 40 degrees even when it single digits outside with no heat running. My unit will raise the temp from 40 to 65 degrees in an hour and maintain that by the thermostat throughout the day.
I work in an electrical supply store. I am not here to critique the install but rather give you some info. When installing electric heat anywhere, you want to try to stay 13 watts per square foot of space with a 10ft ceiling. Then factor in insulation and air leakage. Your shop at a 10ft closed in ceiling would require 21kw of heat to be adequate at the bare minute. This translates to 87.5 amps drawn from your panel just to heat your shop using electric. Once you close some space in and eliminate air flow. A few good ceiling fans would help too.
Great demo! Thanks. Yeah , I've got this one on my shortlist of 7500 Watters for my garage saloon...uninsulated cement block garage @567 sq ft, but saloon side is only 400 sq ft. Got a woodstove, but want this for quick fix to take chill out when I wanna go out there, put an album on, and tinker ... Question: how many inches from top of mount to bottom of unit? Thanks again !
I wish I could use electric for shop heat but its just too expensive where I am. That would cost me $1.05 an hour to run. Electric is so mich easier though, no fuel to deal with and a simple on off switch🙂
Great project! I just finished-up installing a 50,000 btu propane heater in my post frame woodshop, and it is amazing! I have a different situation than you, and I need heat 100% of the time so electric heat was definitely not an option for me. I insulated the heck out of the shop to save money, but it will still be a bit pricy to heat. We are also installing a large heat pump, which are insanely efficient. I would definitely look into that for anyone who wants to install electric heat because it is more efficient and you get cooling in the summer as well. For a future project, I plan to add forced air wood heat as well. Gotta keep your options open 😉
Just got done watching your video I have the same heater but only 10,000 . It call for 6 gauge wire which I use and a 60 amp breaker Wired it Just like you did and the instructions on the lid . Turned on the breaker and no red lite I have power to the breaker to the unit and no go Call their tech line and is all they tell you to return to unit It's a simple wire installation I cannot imagine what we did wrong Thanks for listening
I believe your conduit should have been terminated at the unit's hole using a male adaptor so the PVC does not actually run inside the unit. The other commenter note about the breaker is correct, go change to the breaker to the type that fits your panel.
Well I just order the same one for my 24x30x12 shop. I'm like you, I'm just looking to knock that edge off. I'm not trying to heat it like my house. Got a pretty good price on Amazon. It had a discount code & I only payed $169.99 it arrives this coming Thursday. I've been following your shop build & have been using some of your ideas. I'll be sure to review this heater myself on my other RUclips channel. Keep the awesome content coming.
I did the same thing with a 5000 watt heater for my 24' x 32' fully insulated garage. It makes it comfortable enough to work in, and your heater will definitely take the edge off in your shop, but when you see your electric bill you may decide to go with a gas heater. Check out the Reznor infrared tube heater. It would be perfect for a shop your size, and the heat distribution would make it comfortable throughout your shop. Thanks for the video my friend.
I have a similar heater in a fully insulated Morton building. Dimensions are 32 X 36 , 12 foot ceiling. It keeps it at 55 degrees all winter here in Pa. Bad side is adds $100 to the bill all winter.
@@yeloautosportswhat I've found is the 5000w unit made by the same company averages about 51¢/Hour but depends on area you live and chosen providers rates. I just ordered the 5000w unit after looking into this myself. Was going to get the 7500w unit but realized it would be over kill for me Amazon had allot of great reviews on these units
Where are you located? Just trying to judge how cold it really gets, would you go back and prefer the insulation on sides too? What kind of temperatures are you seeing during summer?
I’m in north Georgia. If I could go back I’d really do the same build and insulate and build interior walls as I did on the back. The side of my shop will be done soon! Summer I’m about 80-85 inside
@@ProjectDadLife I’m planning out a dog kennel and want to put in an electric heater. I have a 100 amp service running a 220v/30amp well pump and a few lights. I’m not sure if I can support an additional 220v/30amp heater.
The problem with these heaters is they should come with a separate thermostat that you can install the thermostat down lower in the shop because the heats the top half of the air and then shuts off before the bottom half gets to actually get the heat. I have 10 foot ceilings and mine is mounted 7 feet from the floor and it still struggles to heat the floor area at all unless I turn my temperature way up which then overheats the rest of the shop. My last heater I had mounted down lower at about waist height and it worked great but this shop I have now I have challenges with where to put it. I’d like to wire in a separate thermostat, but I can’t find any solid videos where someone actually installed one successfully without a bunch of foreign jargon. Lol. Great heater otherwise though.
Why would you want the heater up high? You will just be reheating the air that is already hot. You want it down low where it can pull in the cold air more efficiently.
Never a good idea to connect a wire whip in PVC conduit to a Heater. PVC melts. That's why they make Greenfield flexible metal conduit whips. Also, not a great idea to install a Square D Homeline breaker in a GE electrical panel. Just a few observations from a professional journeyman electrician. Just remember, Home Depot sells every electrical thing you need to do it yourself and burn your own house down. Great little heater though.
Dude needs to be a freaking model. He’s got the face, the arms, the entire cake factory…. I mean, sir…. Confidence should never be a problem for you. #slay
These are all made in China. There is a bunch of relabeled versions of this heater. Home Depot and Menards even sells same heater. One place sells it with remote and another place sells it with all manual controls which is cheaper.
Might be better off picking up a used pellet stove for $1500. Most of them will put out 45K BTU. Or just go with a wood stuff. Has to be cheaper than electric
Great video! For safety sake... if you are climbing on that ladder without the bottom being secured, preventing it from sliding further away from the wall, then you are in danger of the bottom sliding and dropping you when you get your weight up near the heater bracket. There should be a label on the ladder that shows the max angle for safe useage.
it will at a 400 dollar a month electric bill, and homeowners should call an electrician, this would fail inspection, you used no liquid tight connector into the heater.

All the heat is up in the ceiling. Put a cheap ceiling fan up there to push the heat down and you’ll see a dramatic difference.
That's exactly what I will be doing. I have ordered everything I need. Will be installing it all hopefully this coming weekend.
I am installing a 240v plug for the heater unit and a 110v out beside it for a fan.
how much would you say this raised the electricity bill though?
Bought 2. One for my son and one for me. No more cold garages.
Just installed the Ken Brown version, waiting for electrician to hook it up. Very nicely done! Thx
Awesome! Thanks for watching!

Deal on this exact model on Amazon right meow. Thinking of pulling the trigger on it. Nice video!
Nice! My Amazon link in the description is the cheapest one! Using my link gives me a tiny percentage to help support the channel. Thanks man

Stupid question cause I'm being sure to get the correct
wire, the unit says 8 awg, this should be solid wire not stranded right?
I think stranded is ok! I’m not 100% sure honestly
How are you liking it 2 years later?
Any Sparks flying out or caught fire yet?
I was going to get the 10,000 watt version but I think looking at your shop compared to mine I could do the 7500 watt as well. Thanks
Awesome

How many inches from mount bracket to bottom of unit?
about 5"
Do they include the single bolt for swivel mount?
Their workshops are cleaner than most homes here in India.
Nice review! How big is the garage, and is it insulated?
Have the same type of heater in my garage. Add 2 fans to the roof. All the heat is up high. Blow it down.
You should have bought the 10,000 watt for that size shop and lack of insulation. Good install though!

Just 100 to the shop
