[QUOTE="MTBSully, post: 15993493, member: 92134"] Well I finally had it with the Boston area traffic and made the move to the great state of NH. Bought a house with a detached 4 car garage. Great right? Problem is there is an apartment above the garage, so the water heater and plumbing setup is in the garage. Right now the water heater is just kind of placed near the water as it comes into the house. In the way and unsightly. Previous owner just kind of lazily put electric heater cords on the pipes and if it was really cold apparently put a small spacer heater in there. So i would like to do something about this. I feel my two options are: 1. Move the water heater under the stairs, enclose it, and somehow also enclose the pipes that go over to the water heater, and put a small space heater on a thermostat in there. 2. Move the water heater, leave exposed pipes and just heat the whole garage above freezing all winter. The whole garage is insulated, drywalled etc with exception of I think the garage doors. If this is the case, what kind of heater should i get? Electric? Heat pump of some sort? Any suggestions? Heres a bad picture just after I moved in of what i am talking about to hopefully give you an idea. I have the plumber coming tomorrow to discuss but if maybe just heating the garage all winter is a better idea, maybe I will do that. Open to other suggestions as well. Thanks bros. [/QUOTE]
