COLD TEMPERATURES HAVE AREA HOMEOWNERS WARMING UP TO THE IDEA OF GARAGE HEATERS
Infrared Heaters are a great gift idea for the handyman, hobbyist or pet on your holiday list.

(KANSAS CITY – December 11, 2008) –It could be the HOTTEST item on your Christmas shopping list. In a region where long, cold winters are the norm, garage heaters are becoming increasingly popular and make a great gift for man’s best friend, the do-it-yourselfer or amateur mechanic in your life.

A typical two-car garage comprises approximately 20% of the usable square footage in an average home. During the winter that is space that is drastically under-utilized. Whether the goal is to heat the space for a workshop, warming the floors of the rooms above, reduce the chance of pipes freezing or make “Spot” more comfortable, utilizing an infrared heater to warm your garage is an idea that is quickly gaining in popularity.

“At this time of the year, the request for garage heaters is high,” said Steve Burbridge, owner of Anthony. “If you work at all in your garage, you know how cold it can get out there. Plus, homeowners love to get into a warm, dry car each morning. These heaters offer an efficient and economical way to heat that space and make it useful during the winter months. They really make a lot of sense and a great gift idea.”

Heaters installed by Anthony utilize infrared heat. They work the same way that the sun does. Infrared rays heat the object directly, not the air around it. When the object becomes hot, it heats the surrounding air and any other objects. With infrared heat, people, machinery, objects and floors all become heat reservoirs – leading to greater fuel and cost efficiency. Running off of natural gas, the heaters offer quiet, clean, odor-free operation without the need for electricity.
