Question garage heating

are there any "decent" electric heaters out there for this?

mine is attached with no living space above, not sure if it has insulation up there, if not, ill put some in.

im having a 100 amp sub panel installed to power it, and a small shop in the basement, that will be for lights, a 20 amp circuit, a 50A for welder, and a dedicated compressor line(s), mybe a 240 volt and a single 20A for a smaller one.

the house has gas, so, i could get one of those "hang from the ceiling" jobs, but i prefer not to.

any thoughts? Ive seen some electric baseboard heaters that are 240 volt, but im afraid they will take too much juice and run the risk of popping breakers when the compressor kicks on.
