Wanted, garage heat!

**Halon** · 10-05-2014

Looking to get some heat in my garage. Something like a 60k BTU NG forced air heater. Need a gas line ran, a heater, and installation. Anyone know someone that does this for a reasonable price, any referrals?

I'll join this request.

But I have a heater to install already.

I replied to some CL ad's, I'll let you know if I find any that are the right amount of sketchy.

they are so easy to put in. I put one in the town house in maple grove and then when we moved I put it in the house in plymouth.

best place to find a good size one is on k-bid

I have a coworker that does HVAC on the side. He is licensed certified etc. I'll ask him tomarow if he wants somemore work.

He said that he could do it. He is out about 2 weeks right now and would want to look at the job before quoting a price. He can also get good prices on furnaces.

If anyone wants a quote PM me with your contact info and I'll get it to him.

Sorry My guy from work has been super busy. And I totaly spaced on updating here.

**Halon** · 11-25-2014

I've struck out with 2 CL guys that dont get back to me. It's already cold out, bummed I thought I'd have heat by now.

**Goat Blower** · 11-25-2014

Just put it in, it's about as tough as putting in a carburetor.

There is a CL ad that looks promising, I'll forward it to you to see if it's someone you've already tried.

To get from my line/furnace area to my garage will take some work. Not something I want to tackle my first time.

**Goat Blower** · 11-26-2014

Come check mine out some time, I just ran copper tubing from my basement to my garage. Just don't smoke.

**JET** · 11-26-2014

Gas line is super easy now, use the flexible stainless stuff. I just ran a line 55' and it took me an hour to do it. CSST is what they call it and Menards has the better stuff. Should only need a 1/2" line run to it. I scored a 30k BTU heater on CL for $35 to supplement the in floor heat. All hooked up and heating for $150 total.

**goodhart** · 11-28-2014

^Score ! I need to find that kind of deal

**JET** · 11-30-2014

Only downside to the heater is that it is ventless. Even being natural gas the fumes do build up. Not a huge deal, every couple of days I open up a garage door for a couple of minutes and get fresh air in. It has worked great on my painting project. I plan on putting a bigger boiler in for the in floor heat so I will get rid of this then probably. I may just keep it around to help heat it up quick if I need to. It mounts on the wall out of the way. There are lots of them on craigslist for $75.
