Since our modern home has a 2-car garage and I only own 1 car, it made sense to convert the space into something more useful.
I never park in the garage anyway, because I don’t have an automatic garage door opener and it’s just too much work to bring it inside.
I decided to convert the space into a workshop, so I could finally continue our woodlaboring hobby. I got all the tools and components set up, however there were still a few things that were lacking. The garage is not connected to the central heating and air conditioning idea of the house, which means there is no temperature control out there, then during the winter time the temps in the garage can drop below freezing, so to get the most out of our workshop I needed a garage heater. Do you think the difference is between a garage gas furnace and any other brand of space heater? Neither do I! The only thing I can tell is that garage furnaces are more compact, more efficient, and designed to be safe to leave unattended. Think about it, with all the various chemicals, pesticides, and flammable stuff kept in the normal garage, you can’t just use a usual space heater. The heating elements in these things are too volatile, and you run the risk of starting a fire. A garage gas furnace is designed particularly for this kind of industrial environment, including an automatic kill switch to prevent the temps from ever getting too high. A garage gas furnace is superior, which also means it costs a lot more than a normal space heater.
