You will find these 3 garage heaters in the market these days:

• Electric Garage Heater – can be either hard wired or plugged into a 120v outlet to heat a garage. They can heat up to 17000 BTU’s which is enough to heat a 600 square foot garage depending on how it is installed. Benefits are: easy to operate, 100% clean, no maintenance needed, fully efficient, no open flame to worry about, thermostat control, easy installation and most of all very durable.
• Natural Gas Garage Heater – are designed to be permanently installed. They can heat up to 80000 BTU’s which is great for 2500 square foot garage
• Propane Garage Heater - are designed to heat up to 50000 BTU's which is ample to heat a 1400 square foot workshop safely and effectively. They are permanently installed and require a steady source of propane to fuel the heater. Propane is relatively inexpensive and can be found widely at home improvement stores across the US.
  
  

Safety and maintenance

Let’s talk about safety now. A heater is very beneficial, but choosing one wisely is important because you want to ensure that you have adequate ventilation for the type of heater you use. Garages are storage place for so many flammable items like gas, oil, paint, wood and paper which means that having a heater in the garage requires special attention. Keep the heater away from flammable items and use the heater only in a well-ventilated areas.

There are many garage heater options on the market. I recommend going online and doing a search. Carefully determine what model is best to meet all your specific needs. A qualified heating professional can help you determine the amount of BTU's you'll need, then help you select just the right heater for the garage or workshop. Keep in mind warranty and after sales services, installing services and maintenance for gas heaters. Of course prices are important too.
