SIAL 51,300 Btu/hr Industrial Gas Fan Heater Portable Workshops Heater Heat Cannon Gas Radiant Heater Hot Air Blower Mechanical Switch Piezo Ignition, Yellow, 15KW

Heat garage

heats up large area in 5 minutes, wish I had bought it last winter would have saved loads on heating bills

It worked like magic. Just what I needed. I used it in a 64m² space and the whole place was hot in less than 2 minutes of switching it on.

Excellent heater for my 36sqm workshop. Takes the winter morning chill out of the air in minutes. However, it does produce exhaust fumes so the area needs to be ventilated and you need to limit its use duration. Overall I am content with it as it does what I want (removes the chill) for the short period its needed for a relatively low cost. Much less fumes than my previous paraffin blow heater.

This heather is completely unsustainable to run. It eats through a £51 19kg gas cylinder in approximately 10hrs

Well i had to switch heater off within 5 min , not because it is broken. Quite the opposite because I was getting to much heat lol , as soon as I had it running the heat was there . On the serious side don't stand in front of it look out for children and pets . My garage is 21 ft long so I will have to tidy the bottom end of garage before setting it up again, So the heater was setup half way down garage about 10ft , so I found it was a bit to much . Think it will need the full length of 21ft . So I wouldn't advise buying it for something small . I don't think it can be turned down , because the book was saying it needs a certain pressure to operate, the regulator is not adjustable. I have an adjustable regulator I might try it to see if it will run at a lower flame . But would have to be careful and not blow out the flame with the fan that blows out the heat . I did panic at start because I couldn't find the lifting handle that screws on to of machine, but it was fixed underneath the polystyrene foam that is at the top of the box . So if you buy one and looking for the handle that's where you will find it .So good enough quality i do recommend putting ptfe tape on the the fittings for the hose and regulator, in the video i would say ignore the way they are showing how to fit the said fittings. They will show you to test joints with soapy water , the safest way is the tape less than a pound . But it is your own decision. I do have 2 diesel heaters in garage but only run at a time , but if I was to run them together the cost would be quite high on diesel & kerosene. Plus it takes a while to heat up garage. Plus I'm adding 2 radiators. What I thought was run gas heater for 5 or 10 mins, heat the place up quick then turn on diesel heater switch off gas . So a very good purchase I have no idea what amount of gas it will use. Noise level is ok my most recent diesel heater when on full has a very noisy fan , also an exhaust outside and 3 exhaust boxes fitted to try and keep noise down a bit . The only thing that does concern me is ventilation will need to look into that , probably get a carbon dector, and anything other dector that is needed. One last thing when starting heater up you have to push brass button in for gas flow , the machine moved across the floor so I pushed the machine against a steel box then pressed button again. So bear that in mind when starting up

It is a very efficient heat. The only negative, is that there is no adjustment control on this model. So a 14kg bottle of gas last 8 approximately days when on for about 6hrs/day.

"It heats up incredibly fast and works extremely well!"
