I have an insulated garage that I want to heat, but just above
freezing. All the heaters I have will keep the temperature at 14C
(57F) or higher, which I don't want. I just want it slightly above 0C
(32F) to avoid the objects in the garage from freezing.
Does anyone know of such a heater? I can't seem to find one.
Thanks!





I live in Canada where it would be usual to have this application. The
garage that I want to heat to just above freezing is attached to the
house, well insulated so a heater with a thermostat that can be set from
about 0 degrees C to 10 degrees C or more would fit the bill. My question
is - why do manufacturers not provide this option, and why can I not find
ANY heater that gives the minimum and maximum temperature setting of the
thermostat on the box?

It's called a thermocube thermostat. It turns on the heater at 35F
and turns it off at 45F. It is available from Home Despot in the USA.

It is apparently a Canadian invention .
