I have a 3 car garage that I am planning to keep heated this winter. which will be cheaper in the long run as far as energy costs. I have already insulated the garage and the doors.
What Is Cheaper To Run? An Electric Garage Heater Or A Natural Gas Garage Heater?
On December - 28 - 2009
natural gas would be cheaper than electric by far.
Wow, I’m not trying to be argumentative, but at least in my area Electric heat is much cheaper than gas. In fact I’m getting ready to replace my 80,000 lp furnace with 18 KW of electric.
I’m not sure what your per KW rate is in your area, but you definitely want to measure out both types and do a calculation before you decide. Call your utility companies and ask them the rates per measured unit of energy that they charge.
As I said, here in Indiana, electricity beats gas hands down.
electric heaters draw too much energy for their worth.Stick with natural gas
