Choosing a Unit Heater

We have a concrete basement garage and the building has a hydronic boiler. The ceiling is about 8 feet high.

We want a blast of heat to offset the opening of the roll-up door. After the door is closed, just enough heat is needed to be comfortable while working.



What size heater should I choose?



Should it be mounted by the side of the door, or somewhere else?



Additional information:



We have never had to thaw pipes and there is no heat in the garage now. Both the DHW and DCW are in CPVC which is running through the basement . The electric WH is next to the wall away from the roll-up door.

The garage is bermed on the three sides but the door side and half of the adjacent walls are exposed. There is no insulation but the walls are block or stone. The ceiling is concrete panels.
