If you can run gas, that is without question the way to go! I did this for under $300. 44k BTU,700Sq garage, and it does great!!! I was lucky however that my service was on the other side of the garage wall, about 12 feet to the right. I have had the garage at 70 with the outside temp around 10, of course full insulation helps. Look around and you can find these units for about 2-300, this one is a Reznor, Modines are great also. And just for the record, I do have another ball valve to shut off gas to the unit, you cant see it in the pic..... Good luck!!

I'd love to have one. And will eventually, where did you pick it up for that price? I'd get gas run to the garage if I could find a unit cheap enough to put in.

This was a 1999 model year that I was lucky enough to pick up from a buddy of mine, after a few minor repairs it was around $200. I have seen similar ones between 2-$300. Just keep an eye out and you will eventually find one, took me over a year...

Y'know, before I bought my Hot Dawg, I looked all over hell for something like that! I never did find a place that had anything like that in stock.

My garage is a tad over 700Sq, well insulated and 45k is plenty...I would say up to 1000Sq... This may help you

It's about 1,000sq ft w/tall ceilings, three windows (w/coverings), two doors and two overhead doors (one double wide) w/insulation panels and all is drywalled. House was built about 4yrs ago and is an energy efficient home so I hope some of that spilled over into the garage as they were building as well. I'm pretty immune to weather so I don't need it to stay 70 deg or anything... just a little warmer in the winter.
