The MH125FAV is the least powerful of Mr. Heater's line of propane forced-air heaters for smaller jobs (see the MH55FAV and the MH85FAV). The heater gives you 35,000 Btu--enough to heat 800 square feet. Though the larger models give you more Btus, each heater in the line shares the same basic features, including an automatic shutoff with loss of flame or power supply and a high-output fan that circulates heat quickly. Hooking the heater up to the 20-pound propane cylinder (not included) is easy, and the 10-foot hose and regulator are included. CSA certified.

Let's break it down a little to make the process easier.What are the different types of space heaters?Radiant heaters emit infrared radiation that directly warms the objects in front of the heaters (rather than the surrounding air). If you only need heat by a desk or in a small section of a room, a radiant heater is quiet and will use very little power.Forced-air heaters use a fan to blow air that has been warmed by metal or ceramic heating elements. A forced-air heater is appropriate for quickly heating up a small- to medium-sized room, but can be noisy.Convection heaters draw cold air from the floor; the air is warmed by heating coils and emitted from the top of the heater. A convection heater is appropriate for quickly heating up a small- to medium-sized room, but also can be noisy.Radiators work by heating oil enclosed in a reservoir, gradually heating the surrounding air. If heating speed isn't an issue, you might want to opt for a radiator. These are extremely quiet and effective--perfect for bedrooms. Should I buy an electric or a combustion model?If you want a heater that will be available in emergencies, or that can heat areas larger than a single room, choose a "combustion" model--one that is powered by a gas or fuel like propane, kerosene, natural gas, or diesel. Which fuel type you choose depends largely on convenience and local availability. For example, diesel would be appropriate for a heater you take with you on long car trips. How powerful a heater do I need?Heaters are rated by BTU, which stands for British Thermal Unit (the amount of heat needed to heat one pound of water by 1 degree F). To find out how many BTU you need: Calculate the volume of the space to be heated by multiplying square footage by height. Multiply that number by 4 if your insulation is poor, 3 if it's average, or 2 if it's good.The resulting number is a ballpark figure for how many BTU you'll need.Do space heaters cost a lot to operate? As a general rule, electric space heaters are more expensive to use than combustion models. To ensure energy efficiency, a thermostat is a must-have feature for any heater. For radiant heaters, models with a 360 degree heating surface can heat larger spaces. If you need a forced-air heater, models with ceramic elements tend to be more efficient.Are space heaters a fire hazard?Space heaters are implicated in about 25,000 residential fires every year. To ensure proper safety, always follow the manufacturer's usage instructions and fill out the warranty card to receive informational updates from the manufacturer. Also, look for extra safety features such as an automatic shutoff switch that can shut down the unit if, for example, it gets upended. In addition, choose a model where the heating element is adequately enclosed within the unit.
Great space heater for garage Bought this to heat up my garage when I need to do a project in the winter (I'm in the Northeast). Amazon had the best price - prompt delivery. It does a good job(my garage is about 400 sq-ft), uses a standard 20# propane tank . Nice and compact for storage when you're not using it. hot air It took a good hour to get this thing going - holding in the 'pilot' button got real old after the first minute... and out went the flame. Then a minute longer, and out again. Eventually, having held in the button until my thumbs turned blue, it stayed on long enough for me to stretch my hands out. pffffffft. and over... and over... If it stays lit long enough this unit will work nicely to warm an uninsulated 2 car garage with 13' ceilings in under an hour. Of course, you'll have crippled hands and be almost deaf from the fan & roar of the flame - but heck! Good value, a little on the noisy side, but once you break the thermocouple in, it's alright. mine worked fine, BUT Mine has operated flawlessly, BUT I'm surprised no one else has mentioned the fumes this thing emits. In a garage with a door open it's not too noticeable, but if I close the outside door the fumes become overpowering. In an unoccupied building we were working on the fumes became so strong we had to stop the work and air out the building for several hours...could not use the unit in this scenario. Maybe there is something defective about the one I got since no one else seems to mention this problem.
