Comfort Zone CZ220 5000-Watt, 240v Hard Wired Fan-Forced Ceiling Mount Heater with Dual Knob Controls and Safety Overheat Protection, ETL Compliant, Grey

Got mine installed and did not have the hinge rear to drop access to the wire hookup area. Simple install to the garage ceiling with a pilot hole for a 2" long, 1/4 in width wood hex head with nice big flat washers to support the single center attachment point to the garage ceiling. Ezy pzy and plenty secure. I wanted to be able to turn the fan direction if wanted. Ran 10 ga 2 wire with ground to it from the QUALITY dryer plug bought here at the Zon, and wired the unit. I set on heat level #2 and turned it on. Excellent HOT heat coming out, and 12 feet away the fan is clearly doing it's job. The fan power is fine, the heat is HOT just set on 2, and the only potential drawback for some is the thermostat is not as accurate in function as your whole house furnace is. Who cares? Most are using this for a garage or shop, and some don't want those to drop under freezing when unattended and unused. I set up a remote temp sensor and in a 12 x 25 ft garage, in Omaha NE and if you want to keep your garage above freezing, this unit can do that. Really, it can do that not working very hard. I was thinking this was a big toy, might help a little or might not. I was wrong. This is a serious tool, well made, works, hot heat and fan plenty strong - and all at $109? Are you kidding me?? Can see other uses for this heater, too. This is NOT a toy, works, HOT heat, good fan, makes a bit of mild fan noise but WHO CARES? You sleeping in your garage? I got the ex warranty so if this goes South I'm covered, but by any account this is a nice unit, works, built solidly and if you do your own wiring be SAFE and be SURE to use a GOOD dryer plug with a lot of surface contact to your 10 ga wire. Critical. Tight and solid good connections is important. Get your gas cans out of your garage and into the shed. Read directions and adhere to them. They're there for a reason. My garage ceiling is only 7" but I attached this as high as I could right to the ceiling joists, center factory attachment point with big flat washers to help support. VERY impressive heater at this price point!!! Nice. My only nitpick is they should have made the ground attachment point the same as the two positives, with easy secure attachment. I used the extra wide wire crimper tool to secure a yellow 10ga wire loop to the end of the ground wire, then attached that to the ground point on the unit where they supplied the hex head bolt attachment. Works fine. Just UN-necessary and their trying to maximize profit by saving a buck a copy. No bid deal. GOOD UNIT. PS: The Zon 10 ga 2 wire and one ground wire pricing was way better than the big store big name hardware stores here!!

Installed the heater in my 500sqft garage with R12 insulation and it works great. I think it could be better if I bent the fan blades a bit more to increase air movement but honestly, it is just fine. I use an additional fan mounted up by the ceiling to circulate more air and it helps get the heat off of the ceiling. I connected my heater to a 2 pole 30A switch so I do not need to access the controls and it works like a charm. Highly recommended.

Still toying with it but so far the thermostat switch does not seem sensitive enough to hold a steady temp. I have used this heater for a while now and I am very satisfied with the performance. I switch it on the middle setting for about an hour before going into the shop/garage and can expect 12-15 degrees on a cool west coast (6-7 degree) day. I necessary I'm sure I would be able to satisfactorily heat the 400' space in much colder weather.

Haven't had it long but I love it so far. 250 sq. foot insulated shop. I only need the lowest setting so far. Quiet and heats up my shop quick.

CCC Comfort Zone, I was surprised by the quality of this product for such a low price. It is certainly of industrial quality. Before buying, I read all the reviews for this unit and one thing that came out a lot was that the unit often came with loose parts so before installing it I verified that all bolts and nuts were tight. Although mine seemed ok but didn't want to take a chance. This unit has a local thermostat but it is not very practical when the unit is 8 feet up. Therefore I bought an Aube RC840T-240 On/Off Switching Electric Heating Relay with Built-in 24 V that fit perfectly inside the unit so I could use my existing low voltage thermostat. I've been running it in my garage since the second week of September and it rocks ;-)
