Garage is off my basement, the reason I don't use my furnace too heat the garage is that the plenum fan is not big enough to take on the garage, I have a duct running out there with a return, they are currently off, it only has one 550 CFM fan, I tried heating it last year and it just does not have the force to heat it. The garage and house is of equal insulation, except two 8.5 foot garage doors opening multiple times a day plus two cold vehicles and a tractor and snowblower.

Being this is mid point, you might see closer to 7000, but that's still awesome. :D

I predicted the 5000 lbs on what I'm using currently In the coldest time of winter, the end of feb and March will not be as cold as it is now. We will see!
