Comfort Zone CZ220 5,000W Ceiling-Mount Garage Heater

Model CZ220

SCORE7.0 / 10

Our default for a one- or two-car garage heated in sessions: 5,000 W with 4,000 and 3,000 W steps, hung from a joist. The knob thermostat has no published range, and like every electric heater here it can't share the garage with gas cans or paint.

Before you buy

  • 1-year warranty; after 30 days the heater ships to World and Main freight prepaid.
  • One amp figure covers 208-240V; on 208V the heater makes less heat, and Comfort Zone doesn't publish how much.
