ᐅ Garage Heating with Air Heating System

Hello,

I am currently planning a house with an outbuilding. The house will be heated by a gas condensing boiler. The garage is located 5 m (16 feet) away from the house. How can I quickly heat it at certain times (2-3 times a week)? Can I use an air heater connected to my gas boiler, or is the boiler not suitable for that? The garage space has a volume of approximately 220 m³ (7,770 cubic feet) and should be heated to around 15–18°C (59–64°F). What solution is cost-effective and also inexpensive to maintain?

Regards, Fabian

Wrong – read my post CAREFULLY again. Hydronic radiant panels require a high supply temperature. You are talking about something completely different, namely wall heating.
That's right; I shouldn't be replying so late

You can use fan coil units, radiators, etc., in combination with a gas boiler. The deciding factor is the heat demand of the building and any outbuildings.

Best regards.

Hello,

I have received a few quotes from heating companies. They all say that using a low flow temperature won’t be very effective. They all suggest running the garage at a flow temperature of 70°C (158°F) and installing vertical radiators there. The house is supposed to operate with a flow temperature of 35°C (95°F). They plan to use a Weishaupt WTC 25, which has a capacity of 25 kW. Isn’t that a bit too much? My house has a heat load of 4 kW at 20°C (68°F), and the garage has the same at 10°C (50°F). What do you think?
