  1. Can I use this heater in an uninsulated basement.

    I have an area in the basement that we turned into a hang out space for my kids. It is around 400sq ft. It is a walkout with 3 windows and one wall we framed out and drywalled the rest of the walls are concrete and uninsulated as is the floor which is stained concrete with an area rug. They do not spend alot of time down there but when they do it needs to heat reasonable quickly. The average temp year round is about 50degrees. Can I use an industrial heater for the basement?

    1. As long as you have the power to run it. You will need at least a 40 Amp breaker and this heater should heat that area very fast.

      Helpful?

    2. The heater can be used in your uninsulated basement. This 7500 watt heater would be more than enough to keep the 400 square feet at a comfortable temperature.

      Helpful?

  2. do i need anything else for the heater to be installed??

    1. Make sure it's on its own breaker and have nothing combustable in front of it.

      Helpful?

    2. The heater is ready to be installed and will need to be hardwired to a 240 volt circuit.

      Helpful?

  3. can this be use in a wood working shop around sawdust

    1. The short answer is yes, but do clean it out every couple of weeks. I left mine up over several seasons but failed to clean it and barely averted a disaster. My fault, as I did not use much common sense. Heats my garage well, even after many years of use!

      Helpful?

    2. It is safe to use in a wood shop. It is recommended to clean the elements periodically to keep dust to a minimum inside the unit.

  4. HOW BIG OF AREA WILL THIS HEAT

    1. I installed it in a standard 2 car and it works great.

      Helpful?

    2. Due to variables we cannot say exactly how many sq. ft. this will heat. To accurately figure out how many total BTU's that you need to adequately heat your area follow this formula:

      BTU's = (cu.. ft of area x .133) x desired temperature rise*

      *Desired temperature rise is the difference between the temperature without heat and the desired temperature.

  5. How many KWH per hour at low setting?

    1 answer

    1. The Fahrenheat Heater draws 7500 watts when operating. The temperature control strictly controls at what temperature the unit kicks on and off.

      Helpful?

  6. Can this heater be wired to operate with a separate thermostat in a location away from the heater?

    1 answer

    1. The Fahrenheat Ceiling-Mounted Heater can be used with a wall thermostat in the same area. We would advise you to contact the manufacturer, after the unit is purchased, for help in wiring the unit to the thermostat.

      Helpful?

  7. Can I run this heater around combustibles and the fumes

    When I say combustibles I mean resins and their fumes generated curing

    1 answer

    1. Probably not advisable. Too many variables to be more specific, such as flashpoint of the specific combustible resin fumes and proximity to the heater.

      Helpful?

  8. Is a 30 amp breaker ok to use if I decide not to turn my thermostat all the way up?

    If I only run my heater half way on the thermostat or three quarters max, is it ok to run off a 30amp breaker 10/2?

    1 answer

    1. No, this unit requires at least a 8 gauge wire with 40 amp breaker.

      Helpful?

  9. I plan to use this in a small drying room. What is the high air temp range?

    1 answer

    1. This Fahrenheat Ceiling-Mount Industrial Heater has a thermostat heat range from 45 to 90 degrees. When this is being used at the highest setting, it would be 90 degrees.

      Helpful?

  10. Wall Mount Thermostat

    I've read your answer requires the M601W line voltage thermostat BUT I see Northern sells item #162570 thermostat for 240 V adjustable between 30-110 degress fahrenheit - Will this work also ?

    1 answer

    1. Our item number 162570, the ag thermostat, will not work with the Fahrenheat heater as the thermostat is only rated for 8 amps at 240 volts.
