We offer a complete range of garage heating services designed to keep your space comfortable no matter how cold it gets outside. From new installations to repairs and maintenance, we've got you covered.
Natural gas and propane garage heaters are the most popular choice for Illinois homeowners. They provide powerful, efficient heating that quickly warms large garage spaces.
For smaller garages or spaces without gas lines, electric garage heaters offer a clean, simple heating solution with easy installation.
Infrared heaters use radiant heat technology to warm objects and people directly, rather than heating the air—making them highly efficient for garages with poor insulation or high ceilings.
Forced-air unit heaters are a classic choice for garage heating, using a fan to distribute warm air throughout the space quickly and evenly.

Whether you have a single-car garage or a large detached workshop, RJ's offers heating solutions that fit your space and budget.
The size of heater you need depends on:
As a general rule, you need about 30–50 BTUs per square foot for an insulated garage. RJ's provides free assessments to determine the right size for your space.
Gas heaters are typically more cost-effective to operate and better for larger spaces. They require venting and a gas line connection.
Electric heaters are easier to install, require no venting, and work well for smaller garages or occasional use. They're also a good choice if you don't have natural gas available.
Yes, when properly installed and maintained, garage heaters are very safe. Modern units include safety features like automatic shutoffs, tip-over protection, and oxygen depletion sensors. Professional installation by RJ's ensures proper venting, clearances, and code compliance.
Operating costs depend on fuel type, heater efficiency, and usage:
Proper insulation and a thermostat-controlled heater help minimize energy costs.
While insulation isn't required, it significantly improves heating efficiency and reduces operating costs. Even basic insulation on garage doors, walls, and ceilings can make a big difference. We can advise on whether insulation improvements would benefit your space.
Most garage heater installations can be completed in half a day to a full day, depending on the type of heater and whether gas line or electrical work is needed. Electric heaters typically install faster than gas units that require venting.
Yes! We install heaters in both attached and detached garages. For detached garages, we can help with gas line extensions or recommend propane or electric options if natural gas isn't available.
For most purposes, 45–55°F is sufficient to prevent freezing and keep the space usable. If you're working in the garage regularly, you may want 60–70°F for comfort. Using a programmable thermostat helps balance comfort and energy costs.
Yes, annual maintenance is recommended to ensure safe and efficient operation. Maintenance includes cleaning burners, checking ignition systems, inspecting venting, and testing safety controls. RJ's offers maintenance plans to keep your garage heater running reliably.
A heated garage is an attractive feature for many homebuyers, especially in cold climates like Illinois. It can increase usable space, protect vehicles, and improve overall comfort—all of which add value to your property.
