I also added two ceiling fans that help to cool in summer and bring the hot air down in winter.

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm super happy with the new heater. I had a similar style Mr. Heater Big Maxx in my previous garage. The Modine Big Dawg brand seemed to have better reviews and more of a commercial grade. Certainly a bit more expensive. It's pretty quiet when it runs and heats the garage really well. It's going to be a very comfortable place to work I think. Glad to hear they stood behind yours when you experienced a problem. I have the gas shutoff valve on the end of the rigid black gas pipe near the unit as shown in the installation instructions. I have an electric switch also on the unit. Not visible in the pictures. The electric panel is also in the garage with the heater on a dedicated circuit. Having a ceiling fan in the garage isn't a bad idea. I'll keep that in mind.
