what is cheaper to run? an electric garage heater or a natural gas garage heater?

Sep 27, 2008 by THE DUDE | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I have a 3 car garage that I am planning to keep fervid this winter. which will be cheaper in the long run as far as energy costs. I have already insulated the garage and the doors.

Wow, I'm not upsetting to be argumentative, but at least in my area Electric heat is much cheaper than gas. In truly I'm getting ready to replace my 80,000 lp furnace with 18 KW of electric.

I'm not sure-fire what your per KW rate is in your area, but you definitely want to proceeding out both types and do a calculation before you decide. Call your utility companies and ask them the rates per steady unit of energy that they charge.

As I said, here in Indiana, verve beats gas hands down.

Is it safe to use a 110volt to 220 volt stepup converter in a garage to power an electric heater??

I do not have a 220 volt in the running for in my garage and I was wondering if it is safe to use a step converter in stick of a wired 220 volt electric line??

As want as the wire feeding the garage is protected by the proper sized compass breaker, it is perfectly safe to do what you want to do. That was your certainly.

Aside from that, it won't work. The circuit breaker will misstep from being overloaded. The 120 volt line will have to keep on a little over double the amps that the 240 volt heater will take.

Get an electrician to introduce a 240 volt circuit to the garage.
