Comfort Zone 10000W 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

In reading the reviews I saw several issues with the fan blade nut coming loose. Before installing I removed this and cleaned the factory gunk off the threads. I'd describe what the factory used on the threads as more of a hot glue or RTV. I put a dab of blue loctite and reinstalled the nut, glad I did as the factory schmoo felt soft and rubbery as it might soften and allow the nut to loosen when heated. The nut is a reverse thread, so best not to lose it. Lefty tighty and such, you won't find one at your local hardware store. Aside from the fan nut, it's a resistive electric heater. Amps is is BTU. This heater pulls 22.1 amps a couple inches from the terminal on the heater. This is about 5300 watts, which is in line with it being advertised as a 5000 watt heater, when considering the additional power to turn the fan. 17k BTU of heat for $122. Current draw leads me to believe it's in that ballpark. The fins on the resistive elements appear to be a better design than some units. Brushless fan motor. Thermostat dial has a positive off position and keeps temperature within a few degrees of set point once it stabilizes. Operation is quiet. Measured at a 45* angle to the front of the unit it is 52 dB 1' away and 47dB 6' away. For comparison the 45k BTU gas unit heater in my garage is about 60 dB at 6' from it (10' height vs 8' for this electric unit), and I consider it fairly quiet. I use this to heat a 16'x16' shed with 8' ceiling. Ceiling is partially insulated, walls uninsulated, and the shed is drafty. It gets temp up around 70* with outside around freezing, then I turn it down to the 3000 watt setting and adjust thermostat to hold temp. Once the ceiling is fully insulated and closed in it should only do better. It is wired with 10ga romex to a 30 amp breaker, once my ceiling is closed in and finished I will transition in a ceiling mounted box from romex to MC cable for a short whip to the heater. I think this heater it a good value for a shed or small garage. There's no point in spending a fortune on a fancy resistive electric heater as they all deliver the same heat and efficiency to the space. This one seems to be decent quality so far as fan, enclosure, heating elements, and other components. Just be sure to clean the threads on the motor shaft and nut and put a dab of loctite as I suspect the nut could eventually come off. The factory could secure this nut better with loctite or staking the threads.
