Heat needed for garage

11 years ago

What would be the cheapest to heat with: Propane or an electric heater? I am going to install a heater from the ceiling. The garage is a 4 car garage about 36 by 24 with 12' ceilings. I know electric would be easier to install. Propane, I would have to get a tank and run lines and a vent.

Since this is one large open area, I think you should consider a ductless mini-split system. You and get heating only, or heating and cooling.
