Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fahrenheat Ceiling-Mount 5000 Watt Electric Heater, Model# FUH5-4
Customer Review: Good heater, quirky thermostat
Summary: 4 Stars
I received this heater as a Christmas present and promptly installed it in my 4 car garage. I live in Chicago, and during this time of year (early January) the outside temperature is ~5-10 degrees when I leave for work. My garage is insulated, located under the first floor of the house, and has an insulated and sealed door. Without heat, the garage will stay around 40 degrees in this weather.
I connected the heater to a programmable switch that turns the heater on so the garage is warm when my wife and I wake up and leave for work, turns it off while we're out of the house, then turns it back on before we arrive home. It has been my experience that this heater is capable of raising the temperature in my garage (700 square feet, 8' ceilings) ~12-15 degrees per hour in this weather, which is perfectly acceptable. I'll admit I expected a bit better performance after reading other reviews, but this is still good.
To install the heater, I did the following: Added a 30 amp circuit breaker, ran 10 AWG wire to the switch (Intermatic Hot Water, Dpst Electronic Timer, 7 Day), then ran 10 AWG wire from the switch to a NEMA 10-30R receptacle (Leviton 800-05207-00K Dryer Receptacle 30 Amp 125/250V Flush Mount Black). Output at the receptacle measures 256 volts. Finally, I attached a 10/3 dryer cord (Coleman Cable 09125 5-Feet Dryer Cord, Grey) to the heater to connect it to the receptacle. This allows me to repurpose the line for other tools.
The one complaint I have is that the thermostat is not performing consistently throughout the day. I am not sure why. Without touching the dial, the heater will shut down ~6-7 degrees cooler in the morning than it will in the evening. When I left for work this morning, the garage temperature was 53 degrees, but I am sure that when I arrive home, the temperature will be 59-60 degrees. It has been working this way since I first installed it.
