Hot Dawg 100,000 BTU Natural Gas Garage Ceiling Heater

A:  No this is ot an appliance that gets pluged in. This is a commerical style unit heater. It would typically be installed like a furnace and be hard wired.

A:  A power vent is not an option, as the Modine Hot Dawgs come with a factor installed power vent. Therefore this is not a natural draft unit. If you scroll down the Home Depot product listing page, you will find a section labeled "Info and Guides". There you will find a PDF of the use and care manual. Venting is discussed on page 6-12.

A:  Yes as it says in the listing there is an LP conversion kit available. Or you could special order it through a Home Depot store factory set for LP. Chris 978 651 3301

A:  There is no direct relationship between square footage of floor space and how much heating capacity you need to install. When it is suggested there is, the formulas typically end up oversizing the product in the vast majority of cases which greatly decreases the efficiency and longevity of the equipment. As I am sure you can envision the same structure if located in Alaska is going to need a lot more capacity than it would if located in Florida. The proper way to size heating is to do a heat loss calculation. There are many free programs on line that will do this for you. Basically you enter room sizes, window sizes, construction type, geographic location, etc. and the program will calculate how much heat the structure will lose on the coldest hour of the coldest day of the typical year. Selecting the capacity that is matched to the actual load you will get the longest and most efficient run times. Once I have the baseline heatloss figure, I sometimes will then oversize it when heating a garage. That is because people often keep this type of space cool. Having the extra capacity will help you to raise the temperature faster on a cold day.
