I just wanted to get some advice from others on which unit heater they recommend. So far I have gained a lot of knowledge by asking simple questions on this site so I figure why not.
The unit heater is going to be hung in my 40x30x10h barn with good insulation near central Michigan. I planned on a 75,000 btu unit but I am not set on it. Just the same I was looking into a hot dawg h20 or dragon breath but after reading (on here) that they are noisier then units with a squirrel cage I though I might go with something quieter incase I get booted out of the house I have somewhere quiet to sleep lol.
Also, I am not one to hunt parts down and reassemble them. Id rather open a box and install it as is. So the unit on freeheat4u.com site seems okay?
What are your thoughts?
Thanks

one of my greenhouses is 48x30x14 ft tall, I use a 22x22 water to air exchanger in a wooden frame( 2 - 2x12 about 35 inches , 2- 2x4 about 30 inches ) , a 55 dollar fan and 35 thermostat from amazon and its simple efficient and quite , comes on and off as needed according to what temp you set it at , about 300 bucks all said and done , I have 2 of these , one in each greenhouse and plan on doing my garage the same way , doesnt get much simpler

Here is a pic of the hanging unit heater in my 24x24 garage that is insulated also. Its a 100,000 btu unit from central boiler .Works great keeps the garage 50 most of the time without the fan even kicking on.
