This weekend I was able to really test out the heater I installed in the garage. I had to replace the wheel bearing hub for the second time on the Cadillac. Friday night I kicked on the Dayton G73 to full blast, and in about an hour it was up to 55* Fahrenheit from the mid 30′s. Matt and I went to work on the car in the glorious warmth which we had at about 62*. Due to not having a tool we needed, we were unable to finish Friday night. Since I wanted the garage warm in the morning I just set the heater to its low setting and left it on overnight.

Saturday morning I awoke to a wonderfully warm 53* garage. Within about 2 hours the car was done, and the garage was cleaned up. Though being a long weekend(I get Monday off), I decided to just set the heater to the low setting for the entire weekend. I have periodically checked the temperature in the garage as I have been in and out of the garage on Saturday, and it has been holding a steady 53*. Overall I love the heater, and having a warm garage. The only downside is the fact that it needs an hour to get the garage up to temperature, and it cannot really do anything for the cold concrete.
