I am looking for some advice as to the best way to keep my garage warm during the cold New England winters. I have a 7,000sqf garage with available 240V electrical or Propane connections. I am looking to keep the garage around 60 when not in use during the winter.
Electric seems to be very cost prohibitive and Propane requires the need to vent (Not something I want to Do).
Looking for advice and or suggestions. What are others using?

Did you sign up on garage journal? Seriously, there are 9716 threads on this subject alone. Post pictures of your situation there, I know you will get involvement. C3 owners do not have a monopoly on a somewhat off topic subject like this. Actually, it is completely off the topic of C3 General discussions.

Good luck, let us know what you find out.

I have a Raznor 40,000 BTU gas heater mounted to the ceiling. Vents out the side wall. Been working great for 15 years. The garage is well insulated and I leave the temp at 62* when I'm not working in the garage. Keeps the floor and everything else warm.

Next door neighbor has a 20x24 shop= we put a Mr. Heater natural gas furnace in from Northern Tool. He drops the thermostat down to 50 when he's not in the shop, sets it about 70 with a ceiling fan running. Nice in there when it's -10*.
