I have radiant hot water heat in my garage works great, it's hooked up to my home system. I love it until I open a $556 natural gas bill for December. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Needless to say the heat in the house and garage is way down and everyone is wearing sweats in the house!

Go the Hot Dawg route, a friend has one in his garage, it's noisy when the fan runs, but it does a good job of keeping it warm.

40 is balmy in these parts. I use an electric ceiling heater and a ceiling mounted radiant heater which keeps my garage pretty warm. Even when its below 0.

You might consider a window mounted or through the wall heat pump, if you're located in an area with moderate winters. Then you would also have AC during the summer. Air to air heat pumps can be more efficient than straight electric resistance heat, but they don't work well when temps are 35 degrees or less. That is one of my gripes about them.
