If those are the mini split heat pumps, I have one in my garage (2 ton), but it pretty much maxes out at about -25c...no way will it work in -30f. Do yours work in -30?I use Freidrich window units year round which cool and heat in both garages.
Do it. You won't be sorry. They work.
When it comes to garages I would take EP's words as gospel! He is the foremost expert on cars and garages!

GT Drummer is located in Richmond VA, -30 isn't happening.
Correct--only time it gets that cold is when I show up at home with a new car.
What do you mean by "Low Intensity Infrared garage heaters"? 'You mean the electric powered ones or...?
I used a pair of nat. gas powered infrared units in the pumphouse of a car wash I once owned. They worked like a charm. 'Thermostats worked completely independent of any outside power source. IOW, even if all the power in town was knocked out for days - the pumphouse stayed warm as toast regardless. ('Only needed ONE to heat the area, but, I installed TWO in case the thermostat on one of 'em died...or one of the units itself died. That way the pumphouse would still be heated.)
They looked a lot like these:

Propane units are avail. too...
(Edit: Now that I think about it, I believe mine were "Mr. Heater" units.)
These are good heaters but beware, the air will be extremely dry.
