I am in the process to convert 2-car garage to workshop, need to add the heater. I am looking at the Modine Hot dwag 45000 BTU unit, the HDS model uses external fresh air for combustion instead of indoor space air used by HD model.
I know the HDS model is a better choice, but the cost is more than doubled here in Canada (750 vs. 1650 before tax). I have dust collection in the shop, also have Festool system for handheld tools.
Is it necessary to buy the more expensive HDS model? Have you had any issue using the standard HD model in the workshop?
Thanks,
James
