Good to know.... 'cause I've been under some that would just flat be uncomfortable to work around. And they seem to be an ON or OFF kind of heat.

The ones we installed are incredibly efficient. They draw cold outside air and vent out the roof. No exposed flame. They are on a programmable thermostat. We let the warehouse cool off to 55 over night and then heat the warehouse to 65 during the day. Once it is at 65* The first stage burner is the only burner that comes on to keep it warm. If we crank it up to 75* both burners kick in and warm the space up quickly. If the over head door is open for delivery's, (twice a day at least) the warehouse does not cool off since everything in the space is 65*! Nothing worse than working in my shop at home and have the heater running and it is nice and toasty and then grab a wrench (or get on the floor) and have the tools feel like it is 25*!
