Xcel (Local energy company in the state of MN) is going to be running a service to my garage next week. The planner said they will be putting the meter on the left side of the garage about 3' in because they can't get there equipment down the side any further. I put my heater up in the rear of...

The last few winters I haven't spent too much time in the garage and when I did I had a 10kW electric heater that did a pretty good job. My garage is 32x34 and the ceiling height is 12'. Now that I bought a lift and have spent tons of money this year on equipment, etc I thought I should get...
