FAQs About Garage Heaters

  • Electric Garage Heaters: These are easy to install and do not require gas lines or venting. They’re great for small to medium-sized garages and can be installed on the wall or ceiling.
  • Gas Garage Heaters: These heaters run on natural gas or propane and are more powerful, making them ideal for larger garages or for those who need more intense heat. They usually require venting to the outside to ensure safety.
  • Infrared Garage Heaters: These heaters emit radiant heat, similar to the sun, and are great for warming objects and people directly in their line of sight. They are efficient for specific heating needs.  Keep in mind you need high ceilings for this type of  heat in the garage.
  • Hydronic (Hot Water) Garage Heaters: These are less common but use water that’s heated by a boiler and circulated through a system of pipes. They can be expensive to install but are efficient once in place.

Garage Size: The size of the heater you need will depend on your garage’s square footage, insulation, and how cold it gets in winter.

  • As a general rule, you need about 30-50 watts per square foot of space for electric heaters.
  • For gas heaters, consider the BTU (British Thermal Units) requirement. A typical garage might need anywhere from 30,000 to 60,000 BTUs depending on size and insulation.

Insulation: A well-insulated garage retains heat better and may allow you to use a smaller heater. Poorly insulated garages will require a more powerful heater.

  • Electric heaters do not require ventilation since they don’t emit fumes. They simply heat the air in the room.
  • Gas heaters, however, do require venting to the outside, as they emit carbon monoxide and other gasses. A vented system ensures that these dangerous gasses are safely expelled.
  • Electric heaters are generally safe as long as they’re installed and used correctly. It’s important to keep combustibles away from the heater and avoid overloading electrical circuits.
  • Gas heaters need to be installed with proper ventilation and maintenance to prevent the buildup of harmful gasses like carbon monoxide. Regular inspection and service are necessary to ensure safe operation.
  • Always follow safety guidelines and check the heater’s manual for any specific safety recommendations.

Yes, a heater can help reduce humidity and condensation in a garage by keeping the space warmer. However, it may not fully solve issues if the garage is poorly insulated or if there is high moisture from outside.

In areas prone to high humidity, you might want to consider using a dehumidifier in addition to a heater.

I have been working with High Road Heating & Cooling for a number of years, through a number of furnace and air conditioner repairs and replacements. Aside from the great work they do, what I can depend upon is how they apply their operational philosophy of “repair first, replace second”. I am now on their maintenance plan which truly provides me peace of mind all year. Cost, quality and service … all done very well! Thank you High Road for being a partner in keeping my home comfortable and my family happy!

I’ve hired these guys many times and have always had an excellent experience. Skilled, friendly, good communicators, and always have my best interests in mind. Highly recommended.

-John

I am super pleased with the service and product. I was kept informed of our installation time and the techs arrived on time. Their service work was done as promised. Sorry I don’t remember their names but they explained the process and how the system works to perfection. I highly recommend High Road to anyone.

-Phillip

Jason came out last fall to evaluate a mini split that had failed. He did a great job explaining my options and what was wrong with the current unit. This spring I decided to have the old mini split replaced by Highroad. Jason and Hunter completed the work and did a great job! They were professional, responsive and all around a great team to work with. From the owner Robin, to Tom in the office, to the techs, they did a great job. Would highly recommend!

-Andrew

I called on Friday and they came out on Monday — fast service for non-emergency AC tune up!

Jason, the technician, was so friendly and knowledgeable. Service took less than 30 minutes!

-Sarah

Randy made it easy to schedule the work on the front end and Jason was very thorough and professional. I learned a lot about how our systems work and how to properly maintain them. Jason was very knowledgeable and efficient with our repairs. Definitely will be calling High Road again if we need service.
