  1. Why does this heater cost more than twice as much as other heaters you sell that are more powerful? Is there something that makes this one superior?

  3. Can I put this heater in a granite shop

    1 answer

    1. This would be fine as long as clearances are met. This should be mounted 6 feet above the ground, 17" from the ceiling and 8" from the wall.

      Helpful?

  4. Looks like I'll need a 70 amp breaker as a 60 amp wouldn't be 125% above this heaters maximum draw. Does this sound correct. Hate to oversize it that much.

    1 answer

    1. The heater would use 6 gauge wire. It would use 2 wire cable with ground and requires a 60 amp breaker.

  5. Does this unit come with a Remote Temperature sensor?

    1 answer

    1. This heater does not include a remote temperature sensor.

      Helpful?

  6. What is the average cost to run this unit 

    1 answer

    1. To calculate the average cost you will use the following equation: watts x hours/day x days/month x rate/KW divided by 1000. Example with a rate of 12.5 cents per KW-hr the calculation will be 12,000 watts x 4 hours/day x 30 days/month x .125/KW divided by 1000 = $180 a month.

  7. Can I use this heater in a greenhouse? 

    1 answer

    1. The heater could be used in a greenhouse.

  8. Electric Gauge Wire size

    Please advise the wire size to run to the heater from the 200 Amp electric panel utilizing a 70 AMP breaker......8 gauge or 6 gauge wire with ground. The run from the panel to the heater is less than 100 feet.

    1 answer

    1. This heater is not capable to be controlled by a phone app.

  10. how can it be mounted? brackets included?

    also wondering about the "remote control": does that mean an internal thermostat and remote sets temp and on-off?

    1 answer

    1. The heater is packaged with a mount that is applicable for both ceiling and wall mounting.

      The heater does have an internal thermostat. This can be adjusted, using either the remote control or the display unit on the heater, to a specified temperature range of 45 degrees - 99 degrees Fahrenheit. The remote control also allows you to switch between the different operations modes for the heater.
