Couple of thoughts. Do you have a personal preference to either one? Personally, I would prefer the electric as I feel there is less of the possibility of a malfunction causing an explosive situation in a work area. =:o( I’m presuming that your garage is attached to your house, another consideration if a gas leak occurred. The problems with Electric hear are the initial cost if you have to upgrade your service panel and any additional wiring. Off peak rates here are competitive with other fuels at their current prices. The other consideration is that “off peak” also means that when it’s cold as blazes out; your heater probably will have been shut off by the power company. Bummer!! (At least in SE SD it would be.) I have a wood stove in my garage, to solve that problem! =:o) If you want to base it strictly on economics, figure out how much it will cost for electricity and gas to produce a BTU and go from there. My nickel’s worth (actually may only be two cents)
