Many of the things we buy at the store can be made right at home.
Elaborate pieces of furniture, display cases and even electric vehicles can be home-made given you have a proper workshop to make it in.
Workshops are often a very personal space where users feel comfortable and at home.
When winter time rolls around, some people bring their projects to a halt because their workshop becomes ice cold.
When your hands become cold, operating power tools can become quite dangerous.
Adding a heater to your workshop can allow you to continue working even in the winter or at night.
Workshop heaters are designed to be placed in workplaces, providing much-needed heat.
These heaters are designed to be industrial in nature, able to withstand the rigors of constant use in dusty environments.
Typically mounted at a high elevation, these heaters use one of two methods to heat an area.
The most common model cycles air past an electrically powered heating element, blowing hot air into the room.
Another model burns natural gas in a heating plate directed at the working location.
Both models are effective at what they do, but not everyone has a natural gas source.
Most people have an electrical outlet from which an electric heater can be plugged into.
Certain features can make a workshop heater easier to use.
Automatic temperature control is a must if you want to retain a certain temperature without turning a dial every few minutes.
A sensor inside the heater turns the heat on only as needed, saving you money on energy costs.
For large areas, more than one heater may be necessary.
Since hot air rises and cold air sinks, it is important to have enough heaters to handle the cubic feet of your workshop.
Heaters are mounted up high as to avoid any potential fire hazards.
They should never be placed next to flammable products like wood, foam carpet or trash receptacles.
You can point the heat stream downward but make sure it does not face fire hazards.
Mounting a workshop heater required only minimal technical experience.
First you must locate studs in the wall and make pilot holes.
The heater is then mounted to the wall with heavy duty screws.
Then the electrical cord or gas line is routed downward in a safe way.
Take care not to overload the circuit, as these heaters can use quite a bit of energy.
