I have a 20x20 detached garage with R25 ceiling,R12 walls and an insulated overhead door. Easily heated with a ceiling hung 30,000 BTU Mr Heater unit. Fan forced exhaust vented thru wall or roof. I use the roof vent as it is cheaper. (B vent like used for a water heater about $ 25, the sidewall vent kit is stainless steel and adds about $200. Unit was about $400 plus I spent about $500 getting gas to the garage (100 ft underground 1" line )
Around here a garage burner must be vented and mounted above 90 inch off the floor so it doesn,t ignite fumes lying at the floor level.
I have been told the infrared units are much more economical than the fan forced warehouse style heater because garages are very leaky structures. Infrared heats the person not the air .
I hate the propane torpedo style units because as mentioned they produce a lot of water vapour when in use.
