Hi all, Anyone have a good electric shop heater they can recommend? Needs to be 120V. I'd put it in a 2-car garage but, without insulation on 3 walls or the ceiling. I realize these are some difficult constraints, but I don't really want to spend the money to insulate or upgrade the circuitry to 240V since we may decide to move in the next year or so. I'd rather spend the money on those upgrades after we get the "forever" house or after we decide that the current one is our "forever house." I guess all I really need it to do is generate a little warmth in the 5 foot x 8 foot area where my lathe and grinder is located and where I do most of my work.
I'm in Maryland, so not warm but not extremely cold. I'd say it the winters around here usually have temps ranging from 25-30 degrees Fahrenheit. In a cold spell, they'll drop down below 20 but not usually for an extended period of time. I also don't need it SUPER warm while I work. 50 degrees is fine. Just enough to keep my hands warm and nimble, the lathe not too cold to touch, and the resins not too brittle.
