I would like to put a 110v electric heater in my 3 car garage 22x33. Any suggestions on one to put in there for occasional use? I currently have a 110v 20amp outlets in my garage. I do not want to run a 240v wire. Please help?

The only reason you'd go to 230V is to get more current. The maximum wattage of the 110V circuit is (volts * amps) = 2200 watts. If that's enough to heat your garage, then you can use that circuit. You won't be able to run anything but the heater when it's on though.

There are several caclulators online that will tell you how many watts you need - there's one: http://www.igcusa.com/non-greenhouse-btu-calculator.html
