This is a detached garage with nothing. I have oil heat in the house. I
called my oil company and they are taking care of everything for the LP
service. They provide the tank, the hookup, etc for $69. I just have to
pay for the propane.

were you already on LP service before this? I've been thinking of using
the
same system, but wasn't sure what is involved in getting a big tank
installed. My house has an oil-fired boiler, so I'm considering running a
hot water line to the garage and using a convection unit from that. No
combustion at all in the shop seems like a good idea, and then I could
have
only one fuel to deal with. I just have no clue as to how efficient that
would be, although my boiler man says it would work just fine - although
he
won't dig the trench for the line hehe.

I ordered mine online for about $440. The shipping is like $50. I'm not
sure what the final installation will cost since I have swallowed my
pride
and decided to have somebody else do the gas installation. There's
something about explosions that I don't like.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it run you? I've been
looking at a Rianni direct-vent model for my unheated 2 car garage,
which is looking to cost me around $1000.

Ok, difficult question, I just ordered the Hot Dawg HD45 45,000 heater
for
my garage. It's an oversized two car garage, soon to be dream
workshop.
I
was planning on using a thermostat to keep the temp around 50 and then
cranking it up when I'm in there. Can somebody tell me how they've
done
with fuel consumption? This is a LP type of heater and I'm concerned
about
the exorbitant prices of fuel and the nitwits I work with bragging
about
the
efficiency of their wood burning stoves.
