small home shop heater

Larry,
I have 16' of electric baseboard heat (220 single ph.) in my 24'x24' well insulated garage. I just turn it up an hour before I go out there and it warms it up enough to be comfortable in 20-30 degree weather. I think it was around $150 to do the entire job and I don't even notice it on my electric bill for an occasional Saturday use. But once you open the garage door for a few minutes it's back to square one. The ceiling mount electric heaters that T Hall spoke of work great also. If I spent more time out there I'd add one of them along with the baseboards.
