It’s like TURNING ON THE SUN! #Garage #heater #workshop

What happens here

After 16 minutes and 32 seconds of operation, the garage temperature increased from 41°F to 60°F. The carbon monoxide detectors consistently read 0.00 ppm throughout the test, confirming the heater's zero-emission claim. The test also demonstrated the heater's ability to be paired with a wall thermostat, allowing it to automatically shut down and restart to maintain a set temperature, which initiates a post-purge process before restarting.

Goal: Confirm effective heating and safe carbon monoxide levels, and understand thermostat integration.

Tools and materials

  • Carbon Monoxide Detector Klein Tools — Verifying CO levels
  • SunFire SF120 Radiant Heater SunFire — The evaluated heater
  • Thermometer La Crosse — Confirming temperature increase

have some ventilation is that right oxygen replenishment okay and we happen to have it right there so this used to be a shop so we've got a ventilation fan cooking right there all right guys we are just starting the test my garage is a balmy 40 some degrees 41 degrees it's hit the timer we just fired this thing up stopwatch oh all right let's see what it's gonna take to get her up to 60 degrees 60 degrees is pretty darn warm you want to work and it's warmer than 60 degrees there's something wrong with you [Music] you know then Michael's actually assembling a carbon monoxide tester right now we're going to test this off for carbon monoxide [Music] and while he's doing that let's see we've got 60 40 degrees here that is more Michael how tough is this burner I mean is there a lot of Maintenance that's got to go on you gotta be careful around it or what no I mean that's a real tough burner you know we've even Frozen that and it'll start right up um only maintenance sometimes is just changing the nozzle wait a minute what do you mean you froze in it well actually we've actually taken these heaters out you can actually we've actually froze it and refired it back up really yeah I think we're gonna give that a test that's good all right let's do it all right guys it's been 16 minutes seconds right now we're up to 60 degrees so we've heated this shop up 20 degrees in 16 minutes that's not a bad and if we put a thermostat on the wall so if we put a thermostat on hook the thermostat up to this would this shut down and start back up and keep it at 60 degrees it would so we're going down through a post Purge process and then when it gets down to the temperature it would start up again absolutely so if you guys want to keep it plugged in okay so you said that you froze this so I think the next thing we got to do is put that claim to the test okay what did you find out about hot dogs he's a hot dog so he said you called your company and you can actually cook a hot dog in front of that and eat it eat it now you would you do that with a torpedo eater I wouldn't yeah Stan I want to try that try it okay so we're gonna test out what you said about carbon monoxide we're inside you got two carbon monoxide detectors right that's reading zero right so nothing's getting blown off and this is the second one just to make sure the first one was working so we're getting zero off from it let's go through the shop and see if we've got any carbon monoxide anywhere else [Music] zero and…
