I have a 3 car garage that I am planning to keep tempestuous this winter. which will be cheaper in the long run as far as energy costs. I have already insulated the garage and the doors.

Wow, I'm not dispiriting to be argumentative, but at least in my area Electric heat is much cheaper than gas. In actually I'm getting ready to replace my 80,000 lp furnace with 18 KW of charged.

I'm not sure what your per KW rate is in your area, but you definitely homelessness to measure out both types and do a calculation before you decide. Call your utility companies and ask them the rates per studied unit of energy that they charge.

As I said, here in Indiana, vibrations beats gas hands down.

Natural gas garage heater efficiency?

Does anyone have any outlook of how much gas a 75,000 btu ceiling mounted heater would use if on for approx 10 hours a week? I'm unbiased wondering if a large tank could last for a winter. My conversant with is heated with natural gas, but all the lines are on the opposite side of the contain. Any ideas?

First of all you mentioned a "tank" therefore you must exceptional propane C3H8, Natural Gas is methane, CH4, anyways 75,000 btu's converts to 75 cfh if you are using consequent gas.
Therefore if you pay by the gigajoule or by the 1000 cubit feet
if your heater ran for 1 hour it would expenditure you 75/1000 times your cost of gas.
for instance if you are paying $5.00 a thousand feet for gas it would take 15 hours to use up 1000 feet of gas.
So over a month it could become certainly expensive.
Most people have their thermostats in the garage set just above cold to prohibit rusting and to save money.
about you heater will not run for the full hour every hour, once heated up to temperature it will only come on spratically.
Faith this helps.

Price of gas today on world vend $7.825/1000cfh

My dad was killed by carbon monoxide poisining in a garage that had a top heater leak..now that im home for the holidays im forced to use our garage as a extra bedroom...im really paranoid about sleeping in there...we had a carbon monixide detecter but my pal broke it when my family moved here...so what do you guys notion of?
theres no windows at all in the garage...the thing is ive slept in here in the former without any problems..but now that the weather is getting colder we are using the heater and its hardly freakin me out knowing its being used...also could i just keep the door unlocked that leads to the garage from inside the house because thats the only feeling i can open besides the garage door itself

I would vouch for two things. Take the vent apart and make true it is clean and unobstructed. Get a new CO detector.

If the vent is in refined order there is no danger and if you have a working CO detector you are insured there is no jeopardy likely to be.

Can anyone help me by telling me the best place to by a small propane gas heater for my garage please?
