    Reznor.

    If your garage isn't insulated I'd suggest starting there. You might be surprised with how well it maintains temperature once you do that.

    If it's already insulated then you should be able to get away with a little electric space heater. I have no specific recommendation as the pair I use from time to time are about 30 years old. My guess is there very efficient today though but may not last as long based on current trends of these sorts of appliances. Look into infrared as I think they do quite well based on the limited info I've received.

    I have an oversized single car garage and use a regular space heater that seems to do pretty well. I turn it to notch number 2 and it keeps it from getting too chilly in there.

    Buy once, cry once. Mini-split. If it's cold in winter, it's usually hot in the summer. Either set it at specific temps, or programmed to come on say 1 hr before you work out there and shuts off after the sun goes down. I kept mine on at specific temps so it didn't run longer to hit that temp in the a.m. Electrical usage was a minimal increase on the utility bill. A straight electric ( those smaller units) runs on either 750 or 1500 watts. That sucks power big time compared to the mini split.

    A regular (reznor) style hangs x distance from ceiling and walls. The mini mounts to an outside wall (depending on sq. ft of garage) has a small footprint.

    Where the hell are your jack stands ?
    There is a recently posted thread a tragic result of working without jack stands, and here you are putting the lower part of your body under a car without some.

    I put two of these in my shop:

    https://www.homedepot.com/p/NewAir-1...-G73/205588544

    I did the wiring and install myself. Very easy. I chose to re-wire them using plugs instead of hard-wiring (as you can see in the picture) in case I wanted to move them. They work very well. I'm on my 3rd winter using them. I'll turn them on a little while before I want to go out to the shop and it's warm enough to work comfortably in just a half hour or so. Once I start doing anything I usually shut one off and/or turn them to the lowest setting. My shop is 24x36 with 12' walls and basic, bubble type insulation and they still work well. They have adjustable louvers that work surprisingly well and they can be rotated to push warm air wherever I want it.

    I also hooked up a redneck ceiling fan. Laugh...but it's effective.

    I got mine directly from New Air and they have a 25% off promotion going on right now.
