To install the one you have, if it is a stationary unit:
-- 1 square inch per 1,000 BTU outside air vent opening
-- proper flue gas outlet per code, likely through roof
-- proper gas line connection and shut-off
--if ignition is electronic, a power connection

I was going to vent in through the wall to the outside using b-vent, if it has to go through the roof then I will have to sell it. My garage it probably 600 sq ft.
The gas line I was going to pay to have a plumber install that to insure it was to code, and also because I don't feel comfortable working with gas lines, other than hooking up a water heater and such.
As far as power goes the unit requires 110V for the fan, and has a transformer internal for the automatic ignition system, it does not have a what I would call a conventional pilot in that its activated only when the thermostat (wall mounted) starts the furnace up.
I will say that small electrical units are useless in my garage, they could be on for days and do nothing, it's below freezing in there at all times right now, and the space is just huge with an attic over top.
