Our scoreNot reviewed yetSCORE6.6 / 10
Our takeThe MHU50 one size up for a large or leaky building: 64,000 BTU/h output. In an insulated two- or three-car garage it's more than you need and cycles.The 7,500 W ceiling heater to buy for its 4,700 W low setting, which suits mild days better than the CZ230ER's 6,250 W low. It needs a licensed electrician, a 40 A circuit and 8 AWG copper, and its remote thermostat stops at 50°F.
