What is the most cost efficient way to heat my garage?

Our old home has a basement for our dog kennels. We have just bought a new townhouse to move closer to our jobs and we must now move the kennels into the 2 car garage. The garage ceiling is insulated and sits below our kitchen. Both walls that we share with our neighbors in the townhouse are insulated. It was 18F today and the garage was just too cold for me to feel comfortable leaving the animals for a few hours a day.

I want to add a heater for their comfort but don’t want to pay insane electric bills or kill em with fumes.

What is the best way to keep these guys comfortable through the winter without breaking the bank?

      Look at tube heaters, they are fairly cheap and work well in shops and garages. We use them at work and they seem to put out good heat and supposedly are much cheaper to run than your typical furnace. They are also quiet.
