Heating my garage was a game changer for me.
I put it in myself. Hardest parts was hoisting it up to the ceiling. I had a stubbed out line already running to the garage. So I just had a gas guy come hook it up for me. Though whoever put the line in the ground wasn't really thinking because it had to be tapped off the house line quite a ways down the line. I think its always best to tap right off the meter. There's some wasted water columns in there.
Availability of parts it a big thing. These furnaces are pretty simple. Just a couple weeks ago the control board on mine fried. Literally. One corner of it was charred black and melted through. Was a bit jarring. But I ordered a new one and after receiving it, I was up and running again in a couple hours.
Tl;dr: Heat your garage, its amazing. But try not to burn it down.
