Electric heat is crazy expensive.
What you want is a natural gas shop heater of some type.

The electrical savings will probably pay for this unit in a year, lol.

Quoted from Berserk:The problem with those natural gas type heaters is that not everyone has natural gas (no pun intended) in their home.
Yep, I once had a cabin that only had "home heating oil" which is another name for diesel.
Cleavland OH has several natural gas suppliers.
Those portable heaters are usually rated for "supplemental" heating, so in an unheated garage they will probably never cycle off in cold Cleveland.
@.15 cents a kwh (average for OH residents), a 1500w electric heater could easily burn $100-150 a month in electricity.
That is why people who try to heat their garages for painting with space heaters quickly switch to NG, it pays for itself VERY quickly.
People who heat their homes with electricity get a second meter that is billed at a lower rate, and still it often runs $800 a month.
