Comfort Zone 5000W Ceiling Space Heater

Got mine installed and did not have the hinge rear to drop access to the wire hookup area. Simple install to the garage ceiling with a pilot hole for a 2" long, 1/4 in width wood hex head with nice big flat washers to support the single center attachment point to the garage ceiling. Ezy pzy and plenty secure. I wanted to be able to turn the fan direction if wanted. Ran 10 ga 2 wire with ground to it from the QUALITY dryer plug bought here at the Zon, and wired the unit. I set on heat level #2 and turned it on. Excellent HOT heat coming out, and 12 feet away the fan is clearly doing it's job. The fan power is fine, the heat is HOT just set on 2, and the only potential drawback for some is the thermostat is not as accurate in function as your whole house furnace is. Who cares? Most are using this for a garage or shop, and some don't want those to drop under freezing when unattended and unused. I set up a remote temp sensor and in a 12 x 25 ft garage, in Omaha NE and if you want to keep your garage above freezing, this unit can do that. Really, it can do that not working very hard. I was thinking this was a big toy, might help a little or might not. I was wrong. This is a serious tool, well made, works, hot heat and fan plenty strong - and all at $109? Are you kidding me?? Can see other uses for this heater, too. This is NOT a toy, works, HOT heat, good fan, makes a bit of mild fan noise but WHO CARES? You sleeping in your garage? I got the ex warranty so if this goes South I'm covered, but by any account this is a nice unit, works, built solidly and if you do your own wiring be SAFE and be SURE to use a GOOD dryer plug with a lot of surface contact to your 10 ga wire. Critical. Tight and solid good connections is important. Get your gas cans out of your garage and into the shed. Read directions and adhere to them. They're there for a reason. My garage ceiling is only 7" but I attached this as high as I could right to the ceiling joists, center factory attachment point with big flat washers to help support. VERY impressive heater at this price point!!! Nice. My only nitpick is they should have made the ground attachment point the same as the two positives, with easy secure attachment. I used the extra wide wire crimper tool to secure a yellow 10ga wire loop to the end of the ground wire, then attached that to the ground point on the unit where they supplied the hex head bolt attachment. Works fine. Just UN-necessary and their trying to maximize profit by saving a buck a copy. No bid deal. GOOD UNIT. PS: The Zon 10 ga 2 wire and one ground wire pricing was way better than the big store big name hardware stores here!!

Works perfect in Our new 3rd stall garage. We installed a 12x24 attached 3rd stall and needed a heat spruce for the midwestern winters. The heater heats up fast and is easy to install. This is perfect size and out of the way for my husband’s woodworking shop. If only it came with a remote or a swivel so you do t ha e to do it manually.

I bought the Comfort Zone 10,000-Watt Garage Heater to heat my 2.5-car garage in the winter, and it’s been a game changer. It puts out serious heat and warms up the space quickly, even when outside temps drop below freezing. Perfect for working on projects or just keeping things from freezing. Installation was straightforward if you're comfortable with basic electrical work—just be aware this unit requires a 240V connection. Once installed, it ran smoothly with no issues. The adjustable louvers are great for directing the heat where it’s needed, and the built-in thermostat keeps the temp consistent without constantly running. The build quality feels solid, and the fan is powerful without being obnoxiously loud. It’s compact enough to mount out of the way but still heats like a beast.

It would be a 5-star if I had a smaller garage; it is definitely doing its job. For a larger 3-car garage in the Midwest winter, for example, it's 14 outside, and the garage is a warm 55. I would give it five stars if it were a little quieter when it kicks on and a little more efficient thermostat. Again, I love it. If you have a 2-car like my father, who I bought one for, it's 5-star all day long. A 3-car is pushing it a little harder unless you want to run it over 65-70 in the Midwest winter.

Nice garage heater. It's quite and throws heat well. I'm using it in a 20' storage container to maintain heat and it holds a steady temperature day and night.

This thing really saved me when I forgot to order propane and had to get by for a while on a second home during the coldest temps of the year. I was worried about some of the bad and scary reviews but it has been working great. The install wasn’t too bad but expect to pay another $150 in installation materials. First thing I noticed when I started it was that the fan was pretty quiet and the temps were not too hot. This made me feel better about an overheating and fire issue. I installed it in my basement of a 3700 sqft house when the basement is included. I closed off some bedrooms and was able to get 54 degree temps on the first floor and 58 degrees in the basement. I lowered the temp to the point that the heater could keep up and have some time cycled off. Turned out to be 55 degrees. Outdoor temps were below 1 degree F. I altered the install to make it temporary for now. Hung it from a metal shelve and positioned under my duct work to be fire safe. Also ran the wire directly above so that any fire would melt the casing and short the wire, causing the breaker to trip. The thing I forgot to do was move my WiFi smoke alarm nearby. I wanted WiFi control of the heater since I would not be there so I ran an incandescent night light and tie wrapped it to the heater back by the thermostat. I plugged it in to a Kasa WiFi plug so I could schedule or turn on and off at will. It made the thermostat read 74 degrees, lower than my set temp which would trick it into turning off. It was a 7 watt bulb. Then I put a camera on it all with a motion sensor (Simplisafe) so I could check on it. After a few days I felt pretty good about it. Any fire should be relatively contained. The alarm camera would notify me and I could turn it off via the night light. Should that fail, the wire would be first to go and turn off power. Since it was just metal and concrete, it shouldn’t be an issue.

This ceiling mounted heater came packaged safely and securely. Item was new and wasn't missing anything whatsoever. The instructions were a bit vague but let's face it. If you are purchasing this heater than I assume you noticed that it say's "hard-wired" in the title, I hope. Now for any of you that don't know what that means. It means that you will have to wire this thing to your breaker panel yourself. It does not come pre-equipped with a power cord/wall plug. You will have to order or go to the store and buy the appropriate 10/2 AWG, copper, insulated and grounded wire, as well as flexible conduit, and the appropriate 30a breaker for your panel if you don't already have an empty one inside your panel that is functional and not currently being used by something else. And that is assuming that this is the method in which you plan on using. If you do not know what I am saying and this is all gibberish to you then I highly suggest you seek professional help or keep on looking for something that doesn't require you run cables through your walls/attics and mess with anything inside your breaker panel because if done incorrectly you can injure yourself quite badly. In other words. You will likely be electrocuted! And not the fun kind of electrocuted either... That is only the risk to your person directly. the next major consideration is that, if done incorrectly, you will likely cause a fire at the breaker panel or at the heater itself or even anywhere down the length of cable that you installed yourself in which was not the correct choice for a lot of you out there that don't know exactly what you are doing in regards to electrical installation of a high voltage appliance such as this heater. So, long story short. Please do your research and make sure you know what you are getting into, what is required of you, and what the risks are if you decide to take this on yourself without any training or professional supervision. Please be safe and be smart. This heater kicks A$$ though in every way! Take care and stay crispy... ;p

I bought 3 of these heaters from 2 vendors. One was a $150 5kw and I ran it for 2 winters to set the garage temperature to 45 degrees which was perfect for melting snow off of a Trip to Audis at the Mackinnaw bridge. 45F is perfect when it is -10f. It held with garage insulation all winter. Season 3 it failed. Purchase #2 developed a slight noise and is beginning its 2nd hard winter. (If you don't like the idea, buy a gas for $3500 installed and include the natural gas bill. I will replace it again if it fails for the energy differences with no exhaust pipes for fuel to replace the 30a./240V unit that selects 1800w, 3000w and 5000w. I have an insulated 28ft by 36ft /3-car garage with insulated doors. I have had gas and installation of Nat. gas runs quite a bit more than PIE&G electric. One more thing in winter storms a 20kw natural gas generator works very well if a tree breaks your power poles It will run two of these heaters. The heater is top left running them in 5kw on each heater is pushing it split them a 3k and 5 like I do on a hundred amp service I am very pleased with the low cost and ease of installation The one on the right is plugged into the welder plug
