Black Gold waste oil heater. I've used it to heat my shop for 10 years. It is one of the best investments I've made for my shop.

I use a propane forced air heater. Brings my garage from the low 50's to about 70 in about 20 minutes.

When I designed my 30x40 shop for the builder to construct, I only envisioned a ceiling-hanging furnace and a swamp cooler.

He had the HVAC guys install a roof-mounted refrigerated air/furnace! I kinda sarcastically said "thanks". I wasn't too thrilled about the electric bill going out of site, but it's not too bad if you take it easy on the thermostat.

I use this propane fueled unit in my detached 2-1/2 car garage. Keep in mind that we've only seen below freezing temps 4 times this winter here in Houston. But when it gets used, I sweat!!

In my last garage I bought a used electric whole house furnace and had some duct work made up. Biggest expense was the breaker box ,wire ,and breaker. Great heat and pretty quiet.

I now have forced air propane..noisy. Will probably repeat what I did in my previous garage.

I Have a GLO-WARM wall mount propane heater. I use the small gas grill bottles. It will get the garage up to about 65 deg in 30 min or so. I like the small bottles vs the big bottles because, i can run arround to Lowes and trade them in.

Currently use an electric wall mount heater with forced air.

Considering options for solar heat and then use the above as a supplement.

Blazeking wood stove, takes a while to heat up, but sure feels good on these cold montana nights.

[HarleyD67]

Ceiling mount forced air heater.

[SPARKY69]

gas heat -- one of the best things I added to my garage

Doug...love your Camaro shrine in the background...will have to set one up.

I've got a cheap way to warm up the garage. All I have to do is walk in with dirty shoes, talk about one of her relatives, or mention something that I should have done, but didn't...she comes out, gives me a blast...heat's good for fifeteen mins or so... then I do it all over again.

Have the unfortunate situation where the garage that is part of the house... one of the "crosses" that some of us have to bare. I envy those who must walk to their garage!

Ceiling mounted natural gas forced air unit like Gary above but Ive not used it yet, just got that property with a nice insulated shop for the camaro. In my new pole barn there, Im going to install Wirsbo slab heat fired by elec. boiler. Love that slab heat.
In my current home, the 3 car garage has wirsbo slab heat fired from my ground source heat pump cheapest way to heat anything.
