Is 300,000 BTU enough for a 10,000 sq ft shop?

Yes, that is the rated coverage, but it assumes decent insulation and ceiling height. Drafty or poorly insulated buildings may need more than one unit.

Does it need electricity?

Yes. The unit needs a 120V supply for the blower and controls, plus a low-voltage thermostat wire. It will not run on gas alone.

Can I install it myself?

Only if you are qualified for gas piping and venting. Most owners hire a licensed HVAC or gas fitter, and local codes usually require it.

Natural gas or propane version?

This listing is the natural gas model. A propane version exists, but the two use different orifices and are not interchangeable without a conversion kit.

Does it have a thermostat or Wi-Fi?

It has no Wi-Fi and no built-in thermostat. It works with a standard low-voltage wall thermostat wired to the unit.

When is the price lowest?

Unit heaters tend to discount in late summer and early fall before heating season. The current best is $1,985.99 at The Home Depot as of November 8, 2026.
