Well, I'm in my fifth winter in NC and freezing my butt off once again. Two years ago I purchased a kerocene heater for my garage shop, but it requires I leave the door open with the back end out for exhaust, it stinks, and it's dangerous with little ones around the shop occassionally now. So, I'm looking to "move on up" (well, to the ceiling)
I'm leaning towards the infrared type, similar to what I saw recently at Rick's (thesource) place. His was electric, I believe, but 3-phase. I've found similar units in the 75,000BTU rating that are single phase. I've also found the same units in natural gas.
So ... a couple of questions:
1. Natural gas or electricity?
2. If natrual gas, who installs it? The gas company, or a plumber, or someone else?
3. If electric (220v), direct wire or can I hook it to a plug?
Decisions, decisions. I appreciate your help.
