Hi All,
I am looking for a new or used gas heater for a small apartment (One bedroom Living bathroom above my garage 2 car garage also needs to be heated. It is mostly for guests it will not be used all winter.
I know nothing about brands or types as I have lived in Australia for 20 years.
Can I have some reccomendations please. Should I consider second hand? what is a reliable brand model etc..

Thanks in advance for your help.
Stephen

    Do you have a boiler in the main house? Can you run piping from there to the garage?

    Hey Rob, Thanks for the suggestion Great idea I am not sure if I have the excess capacity in the gas heaters in the home or if it is easier to have its own system. I will only be using the apartment form time to time and the plumber suggested putting antifreze in the line to ensure we do not have freezing problems.
    I will ask the question. Thanks,
    Steve

    Most boilers are oversized so a heatloss of the structure needs to be done to ensure it can handle the additional load. Just to get a general idea, how many square feet is the home including the addition and what type and how many BTU's is your existing boiler?
