Review: Installed into a 650 Sqft, 3-bay Insulated garage. Unless its below -20 degrees Celsius, it does a fine job of warming up garage to work in or melt snow off the cars. If you have steel garage doors that are not insulated, you should at a minimum start there with 4'x8' sheets of foil-backed styrofoam insulation that you can cut into pieces to snap into the door sectionals and tape the seams. Throwing up fiberglass bats between the wall studs is a very quick job. Drywall is an added bonus. This is an expensive unit to run, so you will make back what ever you spend on insulation. Highly recommended you use 10/2 or 8/2 armored cable to hard wire it. At 240v, you don't want to ever nick a a flexible dryer type plug cord. That voltage is enough to knock your balance off a ladder. I installed a mini 2-space breaker panel in the garage, wired to the main panel with 10/3 wire. (You should not bunch high current cables with other cables back to the main panel. Stove and Dryer runs are always given their own stud holes and space to avoid over heating). In the mini-breaker panel I plugged in a 15-30-30-15 quad breaker. The 30-30 is tied together for 240v and acts like a switch for the heater. Extra piece of mind, the heater has no power. The other two 15 breakers, I use for 2 additional 15a dedicated 120v outlets for tools. Obviously, I can't use them when the heater is in 6,000w mode, but they can be used at same time at 3,000w mode, or whenever the heater is off. The heater looks great and runs quiet, and the thermostat works accurately. I have left it on for 3 days at a time with no issues. You should run at 80% capacity for a 240v-30a (7,200w) circuit. And 6,000w is very close to that. As others have mentioned, you won't find a 35a breaker. Highly recommended purchase.
Review: Nice looking...compact and gives off good heat

I cannot say enough about this heater. The install was super easy and love the built in thermostat function. It keeps our dual bay home garage nice and warm even in - degree weather, and it's very quiet.
