Don't mistake this 5000BTU unit for those commercial heaters mounted waaay up high throwing heat like the sun.. 1500W is 1500W. But its safer than my propane radiant heater.
I hung this up over a work bench in my unheated garage. It was 40F and I was expecting a nice warm glow.. the glow was there but the heat was barely noticeable. Initially 7 feet from the floor and angled towards me, I wound up lowering it to 6 feet. My hands got cold so I held them inches away from the element to warm them up.. it took a few moments.
Also, this unit does not include any cord or plug as described. You'll have to mount a box on the side and provide your own wiring.. I used 12 gauge to be cautious but now I see 14 gauge would have been plenty.
EDIT: After having this for a few months I like it better.. but in colder weather use it along with my propane heater. for a freezing cold garage its not adequate even when standing right underneath. But in moderate temps (45F+) it takes the bite off the cold, at least on my head and shoulders.

nice warm heat...but you do need to hire an electrician to install the power cord (not included) and make sure you get the correct gauge wire.
