I'm looking for a decent garage heater that will heat a 3 car garage this winter while Im working on the cars and doing stuff like oil changes. Anyone have a decent heater they can recommend? I probably would want to go with an electric one so I dont have to deal with kerosene and oil.

 

Check your local hardware/autoparts stores and see what they have.

 

I'm going propane due to the fact I no longer have power in my garage. Which also means I am doing all of my car work by flashlight.

 

I use a kerosene heater. I had no luck heating that much space with electric heaters that were even close to the $100 kerosene heater I have in price.

 

I would suggest you to search at your local shop for the garage heater.

 

Propane heaters work pretty good and they attach to a standard propane tank. Since my dryer is in my garage I usually run that when its cold outside which works for my 2 car garage.

 

Be very careful with Kerosene. Depending on how large of a heater you get, they can actually burn up all the oxygen in the room!!! It almost happened to me. My brother gave me his industrial one he got when he was painting houses in the winter. Had it on and the garage door cracked and the window open, and I nearly passed out! I'm actually looking into overhead electric heating elements like you see in entrances to Costco, Walmart, Sams club, or your local grocery stores.



Here is an ebay link to the ones I am considering:

wow, I like that idea. If it got colder here, I'd consider something like that.



I wonder how much power consumption that thing has.
