So I want to put a heater in the garage and I saw Princess Auto had some MR.Heater units there, they are 48000BTU and they have them on for $600. Just wondering if anyone has put one in and if they work alright. Any help would great.

I install these for a living, haven't had any luck with the princess auto one. I prefer the Reznor, they are very durable, and very few issues with them. Lennow has a decent one also a bit more money thou
