is this product better to use in the garage wood working shop or would a blue flame be better?

Details:

I do quite a bit of woodworking in my garage and need some heat but am not sure which would be better-radiant or blue flame?

Anonymous

Answers

Radiant heaters with infrared heat will heat objects, not the air, so you'll feel the heat instantly. Blue flame heaters warm the air so it would take longer to feel the heat in a garage type application where you may only use the heater for a few hours at a time. Blue flame heaters are best used in areas where they will maintain the same temperature 24 hours a day.

I have this infrared heater in my garage. It works very well. I am very happy with it's performance. However if you are using chemicals for wood working such as wood stains and paint thinners in your shop this is not the heater for you. I am not sure about the blue flame heaters, but the IR heaters heat the objects in the room (not the air). This results in a very smelly room when the chemical vapors are combined with the IR heat. I learned this lesson the hard way.

I answered this in my review. It heats all 5 tiles. When it hits the target temperature, it cuts off. If you are near the unit when it kicks back on, you get startled because you get that familiar *Whoosh* when the gas is ignited. Overall, still a great heater for the $$$

Blue flame heaters work like you central heating system, heating the air first, the circulating the warmth throughout the room. Infrared heaters heat like the sun, radiating warmth, and directly heating the objects in your room first.
Both come with a diamond mesh grill for untimate safety, built in oxygen depletion sensor and push button ignition for matchless start.

My two units came set up for natural gas and we needed to change them over to propane. It takes about 10 seconds to switch them over, nothing complicated at all.

why only a 100 lb tank or larger

don't have space for 100lb tank or able to handle for refill. Why not 2 40 lb tanks?

Answers

A 100 pound tank is required due to the cold weather slowing the pressure of the propane down. The flow becomes minimal as the molecules expand in the cold. A 100 pound tank adds additional pressure to allow for proper flow.

ProCom Vent-Free Dual Fuel Infrared Radiant Wall Heater - 5-Plaque, 30,000 BTU, Model# MD5TPA 4.7 5 17 17

owner of business This heater is the best I have ever used it heats our 6 office rooms in a building 42 ft X 32 ft and keep them comfortable, and uses less LP gas than other models. We have tried the 30,000 blue frame but it do not do the job as this heater does. You can not go wrong with this heater, BEST BUY EVER. April 23, 2013

ProCom-5 plaque-30,000 BTU-Model# MD5TPA This heater does a great job of heating my 800 sq ft (with 25 ft ceiling) un-insulated garage, I do not have the fan option, but you can feel the radiant heat from 20ft away. My only complaint, and the reason for the 4 star rating, is that the piezo ignitor failed after approximately a dozen uses. I'm using fireplace matches until I can attempt a repair. February 9, 2013

Highly recommended Excellent heater, good price, outstanding customer service from Northern -- what's not to like? Heater performs well, is very efficient. Easy installation if you know how to run a black pipe gas line or have one existing. I would have liked slotted holes in the mounting bracket, and like another reviewer used my own wall anchors. Those provided are good for sheet rock, not as good for concrete block, but the bracket works well. I also installed a second lower spacer and screw, although the single one provided is sufficient. I've had no problems with the heater at just under 5000 ft. elevation, and it's doing a great job of heating three adjoining open rooms, about 700 sq. ft.in total, with a ceiling fan in the room where it's installed. The instructions are adequate. Gas inlet is on the bottom right as you face the heater. I'm very pleased and highly recommend this heater. The optional fan is well worth the price and is also recommended. December 7, 2012

Works well Unit works very well, easy hook up, sits on floor or hangs on wall. Could be more attractive looking October 15, 2012

30,000 BTU wall heater Fairly easy to install providing that you possess the proper tools (and if not you can always order them from northern tool to help with the installation) I installed my heater with 1/2 black pipe with a drip leg installed where it reduced to 3/8. Very satisfied with the performance of the heater, heats over 700 sq feet of basement. May buy another one for my outbuilding rather then burning wood. October 15, 2012

Huge money saver!!! we bought our Procom-Vent Free wall heater last yr. in Nov. we live in a home that was costing us 175-225 a month to heat with our natural gas furnace! Now our bill is 46. - 60. a month and this is winter billing! This heater was very simple to install, hook up to natural gas and put the legs on; we've sat it infront of our fireplace it heats our whole downstairs about 1200 sqt & were thinking about buying another for our upstairs! I would highly recommend this to anyone; in fact our friends have bought one and are just as happy as we are! August 13, 2012

heater stand After hiring a qualified professional to install the heater I was informed that I needed additional plumbing attached to the base of the unit. He informed me that it was necessary, in order to allow for possible condensation that might accumulate in the gas pipe. The stand that I ordered with the unit did not allow for this additional plumbing (stand to low to the floor). Therefore the unit could only be attached to the wall. Please check you plumbing codes before you purchase this unit. January 28, 2012

awsome love it I just bought this instaled it was easy. Works great. I am buying a second one. coudln't believe it was vent free. Heats my hole down stairs. January 16, 2012

great feeiling of radiant heat we have had this model for two winters in Montana and it is very comfortable to stand or sit in front of; the heater also heats the entire living area of around 700 sq ft with the setting never above 2; be sure to buy the auxillary fan if you don't have ceiling fans; the aux fan can be a little loud so we usually turn it on auto when not in that part of the house and off when sitting there. Our uint is mounted low on the wall and we built a simple faux hearth under it to conceal propane connection January 16, 2012

ProCom Vent-Free Dual Fuel comfort heater I purchased my first heater four years ago. Two months later my next and now 4yrs later im going for my third.They are incredible 100 percent comfort and efficientcy. I have one in my basement which keeps all my pipes and floors nice and warm [nice for my dog and our feet].there is one on my first floor also which keeps my boiler from coming on.The heater on the first floor is located directly under my bedroom on the second floor, which by the way keeps my bedroom nice and comfortable,The heater on the first floor heats two 12 by 12 rooms and a 12 by 15ft room nicely.The heaters have a built in thermostat that works excellant .The heater is odorless and noiseless.When they come on my dog lays right down in front and goes right to sleep. Take my word for it they are extremely efficient, affordable and maintainance free. Buy two at a time its easier. January 9, 2012
