Electric Shop Heater

[sha_ba_do_bang]

So its getting cold here. My shop is 40x50 and is insulated. Also my landlord pays the electric bill so I'm looking for a larger electric space heater(or a few) to get the temp up inside a little

Any suggestions? I don't care about electric usage because i don't pay the bill

How about some electric water tank heating elements and a box fan. I bet Todd and Inuedo would approve. Kid safe I'm sure.

Construction box heater. 4500 watts or so for $60-70 each.

Those would work fine for a few seconds at least until the elements burn out!

Kids don't belong in the shop:flipoff2:

The most you will get for a 110 outlet is 1500 watts. My garage is the same size as yours and if I remember my calculations 1500 watts is only good for a 5 degree increase.

If you can get 220 out there you can get much more suitable units.

I have 220 and 3 phase, Where would i get a contruction box heater?

[nate379]

Farm store, hardware store, etc

Where the hell do you live that it's "starting to get cold"

It's -10* here right now :laughing:

That three phase one is in wichita. I can help with shipping if he gives you a hassle.
