400 sq ft Garage, fit well in the space, compact, good fan, plenty hot!
By Bill Ziska on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2025
Small profile, easy to install, directional up down for the heater and a small directional plate in the front of the heating output. I have a 400 sq.ft garage, where I do woodworking but in the cold of Chicago Winters, there were days I just could not work in the garage, tried Propane heater, but had to leave the garage door open a bit and the back door to draft out the gas fumes, so did not work very well and expensive! So I bought this electric unit. So I tried another electric heater (off amazon), but their website was inaccurate and said the 7500 Watt unit took a 30 amp fuse, (which would require 10 gauge wire), and when I got it, it required 50 Amp and 8 gauge. So I looked at all the other options and found this heater, it was 6000 Watts, 25 amp switch, could get to all the manual (installation) to verify requirements and how to install, and worked out great. I installed a double pole 30 amp fuse, 10 gauge wire plus ground in conduit from the fuse box to the garage, and final connection with flexible conduit to hook it up to the heater for easy installation. Works great, on really cold days, does take some a few hours to heat up my garage (exterior garage not insulated ) to a workable temperature, but had a remote control as well as an external thermometer (included) and a web app to help you control the unit (turn on off and use timer to turn off when if you forget). You will need Wi-fi to connect the heater web site and external thermometer to work, my wi-fi does not reach the garage, but I can still set the timer and use the external thermometer to manage the on/off/heat temperature. Only down size is the heat blow out straight out of the unit, and from the picture I posted you kinda see I mounted it in the middle of my garage near the back wall. I have 3 ceiling fans in the garage (for winter and summer use), so these help to distribute the heat all around the garage rather than just in the middle. You may want to consider some kind of additional way to move the heat around your shop. Overall, very happy with the results, size, heat and features. Would recommend it!

Not a good product, not a good warranty, and not a good company.

I have not had a good experience with Heat Storm. I had 2 Heat Storm HS-6000s installed in my garage, a cost of about $2500 all in. One of these is not working and is reading a temperature of over 20 degrees higher than the actual temperature in the garage, verified by a laser thermometer on the outside of the heater, on the walls surrounding it, etc. I initially tried communicating with them through the support section of their app, which has been a black hole with no response. I finally got ahold of them through emailing back and forth to find that they don't actually use that feature, and am now getting slow email responses back and forth with completely ignorant messages and troubleshooting steps. It's worse than using a chatbot from 10 years ago, and somehow these are people on the other end of this. Apparently if I need to send it in for warranty repair, I will need to pay for that, not to mention unmount from the wall, unwire it, etc.. I have now tried calling them, and like others have said in the company Google reviews, it goes nowhere but to voicemail. Not a good product, not a good warranty, and not a good company.
