What's the Best Way to Heat a Shop or Garage?

In my opinion, the best way to heat your shop or garage is with in-floor heat.

Here’s how it works: tubing is installed in the concrete slab and filled with a glycol mixture that circulates warm fluid through the floor. You can power it with natural gas, electricity, wood, heat pumps, or even geothermal.

Why do I think it’s the top choice?

1. You’re heating from the bottom up.

Heat rises, so starting with a warm floor makes way more sense than blasting heat down from an overhead heater.

2. The floor becomes a giant heat sink.

Once it’s warm, it holds that heat and keeps your space at a steady, comfortable temperature without big swings.

3. It’s cheaper to run.

Compared to a radiant natural gas overhead heater, natural gas in-floor heat can cost up to 90% less to operate.

If you’re building a shop or garage, seriously consider in-floor heat. You’ll thank yourself every winter.
