But.........a heated garage would be freaking AWESOME!  :)


Does anyone know about Geo-Thermal installation?  Cost to install?  Does anyone already have this?   

I've seen heated floors in garages a few times around here.  They used heating elements similar to what the Packers installed in Lambeau Field.  It's labor intensive, and I'm sure the materials are quite expensive.  Also, your contractor has to be rather precise to ensure the elements are placed at the proper depth in the slab.  I've only been in one of those completed buildings, and it seemed to work great.  A good old fashioned wood burning stove is probably your most economical bet there for a garage.
