I am looking for opinions on on what kW size 240v heater I should get for my garage now that I'm moving to electric brewing. I'm in northern Illinois and cold garage brewing sucks! Thankfully I won't be needing to keep the door open to prevent death any longer.. I'm going to use a steam condenser, so the heater doesn't need to compete with a hood/make up air..
I have a 3 car garage that is fully insulated and drywalled, I'm not really trying to hear it to a comfy 72.. 60 is more than adequate, and most of the time, it will just be to keep SWMBO car warm (you know... Happy wife...)
I've seen a couple pictures online that say 10kW for a 3 car.. is that necessary? I mean, that's another 40A circuit. Granted i have a 200A main.. but would a 7.5kW or 5kW be enough?
