So after 4hrs it went from 41 to 56 degrees. Not bad for an old set up that once burned coal than oil and now gas...
Actually, they are not good option. I spoke with my plumbing contractor which is a friend of mine and he has installed them, and the radiant wall heaters are better if you are building a new garage with insulation. The infrared radiant tube heaters can be installed in any building/garage. A friend has them installed in his shop that was built in late 1890's.
