This part about the garage scares me, totally against code in most areas to
heat your garage with the house's furnace.
Now if this is remodeled space that you can no longer get a car into, then
no problem.

If it is still a garage, rip out all the duct work that attaches to the
house's furance, and add a second furance to heat just the garage. The two
systems need to be completely independant of each other, and no connection
what so ever for air to flow from the garage to the home.

You could legally have a heat run into the garage, but you couldn't
have a return out of it. That means it wouldn't work properly anyway.
The best idea is a seperate system, pay attention to the elevation
requirements and the UL listing of the unit you choose to use.
