Are you looking for an electric, propane... etc?
I have a propane tank with a double burner in my basement garage. Even though it never gets close to freezing down there, its nice to take the "chill" out of the air when I am working.
I am not sure if you are wanting something that keeps it heated at all times, or just when you are working.
It will be fine. The heater I showed you moves up and down. You can point it at the ceiling if you wanted to.
mcpp66,
I have a two car garage I do a lot of work in. 22x22 The walls are insulated but the door is not. When it's 30 to 40 outside, it's in the 50's inside. I was looking for a propane heater but took a electric heater we got at Costco. It's one of the Parabolic dish types and it will get garage up to the mid 60's to 70 degree's.
This isn't the exact one we have but something like it.

I also have 1300 watt halogen lights and if I'm polishing I have them on anyway and they put out quite a bit of heat.
That looks pretty small, it really heats up your two-car garage? Really I don't mind working in the cold, I want to wax the car so I want to get the heat up so that's my motivation. If I can do that and spend as little money as possible that's what I'd like to do.

I just recently bought a propane forced air heater - and it will raise the temp. in my garage very quickly. I am using a 75k-125k BTU adjustable in a 3 bay garage.
For a 1 car garage you could probably get by with a tank top unit like acc1079 said he used.

These are very nice little heaters - as I have used a small one of them as well (a single burner).

The Cadet is a nice looking unit that looks like it would do the trick in my 2 car garage. All I want is a comfortable temp to work in, 45 to 55 would be great when it's 25 to 35 outside. I think I'll check this one out.
Low is 45F and high is 90F. So if you have it just past low it will keep a constant 50-55F temp.The Cadet is a nice looking unit that looks like it would do the trick in my 2 car garage.
