Garage heater
 

Here is a cheap way to heat your garage if you have some extra automotive and household parts laying around. It is temperature controlled with a thermostatic relay. It heats a 3 car garage very well. The fluid reservoir on top is to keep the system full so that there isn't any air in the system. The top fan/radiator assembly is hanging from the ceiling above the wate heater.

how much electric does the fan and pump run you a month

Re: Garage heater
 

I haven't noticed very much, maybe $30 a month, but i only run it for 4-5 hours a night, 5 nights a week.
