User questions & answers

Question:	Is this 3 phase
Answer:	No It is not 3 phase, but it is 220 volts and not 115 volts, to wire it it needs two hot wires and a ground, I said ground, being AC current the two hot wires alternately act as a neutral. With 115 volts you would need one hot wire, one neutral wire, and a ground wire. This furnace will work on 220 volts only.
Question:	What's the BTU output
Answer:	Manual says 21,311 to 25,589 BTU per hour.
Question:	I have a 28x32 garage with 10 foot ceilings. Side walls are insulated and drywalled and ceilings are just drywalled. With this work in there
Answer:	I have this heater in my garage which is 40 x 30 feet with 12 foot ceiling. The walls are cement block which are sand insulated.this heater does a great job in my garage. It heats up quickly and well controlled heat temps. Would not trade it for any other kind of heat or heater. I give it a high rating and am a very satisfied customer.
Question:	How many amp service breaker does this need ? Is 20 Amp service okay
Answer:	This is not a subject of opinion; it is a very specific matter, lest one burn to death in a fire. Whatever or whomever suggests anything else, is dead wrong! Ohm's Law is a fundamental law of physics, and the NEC governs everything! Amperage is calculated by dividing Wattage of the appliance by manufacturer's stated Voltage supply. Period. Street voltage can run from 220 to 240, so always go with the higher, and the current must never exceed the breaker, or it will do its job and break to prevent overload. 10,000 Watts divided by 240 Volts equals 41.6 Amps. This unit requires a 50 Amp breaker. Wire size is determined by load, length and material of the conductor. #6 AWG copper or #4 AWG will serve up to 165 feet with an NEC maximum allowance of 3% voltage drop from the source. A longer run will require #4 and #3 respectively. One CANNOT use any such thing as a 30 Amp or 40 Amp conductor or breaker!

Question:	can a thermostat or external termocouple be adapted for control
Answer:	This product does not have a pilot. So putting a thermostat would not work to regulate heat in the area do you desire
Question:	Is this natural gas or propane gas
Answer:	This is a propane heater

Question:	Does propane continue to flow when the switch is turned off
Answer:	The switch operates the fan only. Propane stops flowing when you turn the knob to off on the propane tank.

User questions & answers

Question:	can this heater be aimed vertically ...ie have the fan blowing directly upward
Answer:	This can be used in a vertical position.
Question:	Does this have a tip-over shut-off protection feature
Answer:	It does not offer a tip over switch
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	Heater elements draw a lot of amps which will cause the circuit breaker to trip. Most likely you have other loads drawing amps on your circuit which is overloading
Question:	Can the temperature be set at a specific temperature (130 degrees
Answer:	1) I wish it could be set at one temp setting. It heats up to 174 F and then cycles off. I bought controls for mine, but I have not torn it apart to connect the controller.2) I have no idea as to the BTU's but its low. 1500W isn't much. It keeps my work space at 55 F when its in the teens outside.3) CFM is around 300 to 400. At 8' it feels like a strong draft.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this sit on concrete
Answer:	The air flows in through the back and out the front. I do not see any reason you could not sit this on concrete. I would not sit it on anything but concrete because it gets pretty hot.
Question:	DR-975 power on - bad instructions Heater does not turn on after power interruption like instruction say it will. Any workaround from using remote
Answer:	Yeah I returned my DR-975. It doesn't turn on when power is applied to it, so any automated system that powers it on a schedule will not work. You have to use the remote to turn it on manually. Also my interior thermostat wasn't working, when I switched to wall thermostat it would work just fine--even no wall thermostat was installed. So I don't know what's going on there. I just bought the 966 again since on Home Depot it's actually advertised at 1000sqft heating capacity.
Question:	Were can i get a remote for this unit

Question:	Unit only displays “lo” not air temperature. doesn’t respond to up or down on the remote. internal thermostat only. what’s up

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this unit be installed through a cut out in the celing so it points down towards the floor while having the majority of the unit in the attic
Answer:	Highly unlikely. The louvers on the front that direct air flow have maybe 45 degrees of downward angle. This just seems like a bad idea
Question:	does it smell when running
Answer:	not after initial burn period .Very quiet compared to my last heater ,does not smell .
Question:	Can it run on a propane tank for a gas grill
Answer:	This heater can run on a gas grill propane tank. Make sure the propane conversation kit has been installed and then you'll need to use a grill hose that has the regulator on it. Then you'll have to change the fitting after the regulator.
Question:	One description says heats 700 sq ft another says 1250. Which is it
Answer:	It heats my 900 sq. ft garage nicely.
