Garage Heater and Drain

[m123]

Building a 40x40 garage/shop and have not poured the floors yet. I'm not sure yet what type of heater I'm going to get yet nor do I know where to put it. I'm wondering if I need to plan for a condensate drain? Do all heaters require one?

Or should I only worry about a drain if I consider a "house furnace"?

I don't think I've seen drains for those gas forced air ones that hang from a ceiling or those radiant tube like ones either. Or do they need a drain too?

What's the best type of garage heater these days?

I'm no HVAC expert but I think the drain you see on a house furncae is actually for the air conditioning unit.

If you can swing the cost, go for in floor radiant heat. If you're just getting a gas fired heating system, if it's not a condensing burner there is no need for a drain.
