Need Electric Heater Recommendations

[davbell22602]

I need electric heater that will heat up a 2 car garage quick in the winter time. I want one of those long round round electric turbo heaters and there loud too. But dont know what there called.

Torpedo heater, and only the blower is electric. They burn kerosene.

I was able to find one on CL last fall for $100 bucks.

I doubt if thats safe to use when painting though. I wanna try to do some painting over my school winter break or thanksgiving break.

A regular electric heater will flash off paint fumes or other fumes, you just about have to have a heater that pulls its fresh air from somewhere else like outside or inside a detached home to be safe. An electric setup would be safe if it pulls fresh air from somewhere else besides the garage. You may want to check the local ads for an outside electric heat pump. They don't get real hot but warm enough to do painting, and they get their air from outside. You might be able to pick up a used unit for around $200-$400.
