Can anyone give me advice on heating my garage.

The garage has power and gas, which of these 2 options are the cheapest and safest too run. i am looking for something i can bolt too the wall..a cheap and easy fix really as i am rebuilding next year.

Regards Martin

How big is the garage

Is there also water available in the garage

No water
Aprox.5x3x2,5 not including the solder

You can make a central low pressure water heating system - by using a WEBASTO heater and maybe some (house)-radiators ...

... or find yourself a gasheater/blower ....

the WEBASTO a good idea for the future, but for now i will settle for a low cost and safe gas/electric heater with thermostat. so any advice on this quick fix would be apreciated.

Any cheapo oil filled 'electrische radiatorkachel' would do, I guess.
I.e. no swirling dust from ventilator operated heaters. Or fire / CO hazards
from household gas or petrol ones.

E.g. Marktplaats € 22,50

like this one



Look for ones with 'vorstbeveiliging' (anti-freeze setting).

Indeed "safer" - but to me it lookslike you need either a bigger one or at least two of these.


BTRIII Is your garage(door) insulated

The garage is single brick from the 1930's the door is also not insulated (but i can fix that) thats why i am trying to keep the damp and cold out for the winter and planning to rebuild next year.

and when i say "cheap'' i also mean the running costs between gas and electric

@PaulusdB Thanks, i will look into that but i think Olaf might be right with the output of that heater

Maybe you should just get a humidifier

if all else fails

i think you might be on to something there

I have one too. De humidity with it in this time of year is about 40%. When the temperature is lower it is harder to get it dry, than you need some heating.
