Garage
You can try some of the heating wholesalers, Emco, Sinclair Supplies, RSL to name a few. If your garage is well insulated one of the two smaller sizes will be right.
I think mine was 40,000 btu in 36,000 out and the garage is 24x24.
I put in a commercial thermostat that I could set down to 5 deg C.
I would recommend that the unit be professionally installed, permitted and inspected. Most of the installers will want to mark up and sell you the unit and the install as a package price.
In this economy, I would phone and ask for quotes (written/faxed/email). Since new construction is way down they may have installers that are not doing too much.
You could purchase a unit (ask for scratch and dents, don't buy one if they look too beat up) and have someone install it if they are game to do that....
