If you short on cash, then you might look into a Dayton Electric heater. Grainger sells them. A friend of mine bought one, and it heats his 36 x 36 garage. Cost was only $300.

I come from propane, we don't use electric heat lol. My dad's been in the propane biz for nearly 30yrs. We have talked about radiant heaters before not being vented when we were talking about heating my house. He has a furnace that does most of the heating but also has a wall mounted radiant heater to help heat the basement when they need it. He told me they are the most efficient but that's because they aren't vented and you are suppose to crack a window when using one but that's not factored into the efficiency and obviously lowers it.
I found a 100,000 btu natty gas ceramic radiant heater on cl for $75 so I'll give it a shot and see how I like it. If I hate it I'll be looking for a tube type. Maybe my over head doors leak enough air that they might provide enough ventilation that I don't pass out lol
