I just bought a Procom, two plaque infrared heater to warm my shed workshop beside my mobile home. Will this work to do that?

Yes, with the proper fittins , which you can buy at lowes. You'll likely need a half to 3/8 reducer at the supply side

If you have 220 for the base board heaters like I do.....it will be much less with the supplement used and the elc. heat turned off. Depends how cold it gets where you live and how much you use it.....:)

AYes, I think it would work for you as it is not a whole room heater with blower. It is a kind of oscillating heat lamp with coils; it heats whatever is close to it. In my case, in order to feel the heat, it has to be propped approximately 3" and under away from me.

Yes as long as your thermostat is not sitting directly on the unitif it is you migh. t run the risk of melting. most of the heat comes out of the top of the unit. I highly recommend an IR based thermometer

I'm not sure if it would or not. This will be my first winter with it. What I plan on doing is putting in my garage with a space heater. I live in Florida and winters are nowhere as cold as your. Heating pads in the green house might help. There are company's out there that have heating pads for green houses like ours.

Not sure about working on a mobile home ac. I bought it to use on my York heat pump unit. My problem turned out to be the electronics in the air handler.

I would not recommend this switch for your heater. This will not start the heater until it detects movement. Small heaters are best used when there is someone there to insure it doesn't get too hot or possibly ignite something that may have gotten too close to it. From a simply electrical perspective my Westek plug-in has worked perfectly for over two years to turn on and off the lights in the basement playroom.

Sure, but I think it would be a waste and it won't do squat to heat the garage. It is really only suitable for heating a very small enclosed area, like a small bathroom. If you are using it to keep you warm while at a work bench in the garage or something, it might work if you keep it a couple of feet from you. Overall, I'd suggest saving your money and buying another product.

Way to many variables for an accurate answer, so will say no it won't. It is a "radiant" heater, it heats stuff, not air. Some heat out the top, but not much. What it will do... At sunset, grab a couple of quilts and throw on the couch. Set this thing 3 or 4 feet out in front and fire it up. Shortly, everybody will be bundled up with their feet out pointed towards it. Warm and toastie toes. Your 4 legged critters will take over the floor under your feet. Watch a movie, pass around pop corn, or maybe, HOLY CRAP, take turns reading to the little ones.

I believe that it would do a good job. I would recommend that you try to remedy the drafts. My house is 650 sq. ft. with 10 ft. ceilings. I am very happy with this heater.

If it's a small enclosed space like a cubicle it will work. I use these in my garage and barn for heating small areas and they are perfect for that since they don't get very hot to the touch.

Yes just be aware of what else maybe drawing off the circuit you are looking to add the heater to. Requests a dedicated circuit.

If the heater is inches away from your body, then probably yes. Personally, I would consider a larger unit as this one is very small and best for supplemental heat.

This heater will heat that size room but the heater needs a large amount of oxygen. You should use this heater on a screen porch or out side to be safe. They are great heaters.

That is what it is supposed to do. You do not want it to glow red hot, That would make it a bit unsafe for a shop or any space you might be creating any sort of dust in. Start the unit up an hr. or so before going into the work space to warm it up. This is the best little shop heater I have ever used. Just give it some time

If you use it in lieu of using a whole house oil, gas, or electric system, it WILL save energy and you will have cool parts of the house. Depending on whether it is full infrared and not just PART infrared, that will determine how much heat it will generate for the money. Portables sometimes are infrared / PTC blends and they dont emit as much far infrared energy as a full infrared unit.
