The electrician wired up the Fahrenheat 17,000 BTU electric heater and so far I'm very happy with the performance. It is heating the garage nicely. I could probably get it down to T-Shirt wearing temps if I wanted to drive up my energy bill.
The darn thing is very quiet too.
Once again thanks for the info! I'm lov'in the warmth.

This heater does a good job keeping it warm but has a hard time getting it up to temp. so the propane heater. Never start any project with propane heater running, you know - open flame(my name is not Tim Taylor).
What I wish I would have went with is this heater;

This is the ideal heater in my humble opinion and I may put one up in the near future.
Good luck in your selection
