I've been pondering the same question lately. Off the cuff, 30,000 btu would do it IF you're looking to raise the temp about 30 degrees, have 8 ft ceilings and a so-so amount of insulation.

If you Google "how many btus needed to heat garage-shop" there's a couple calculators out there that will help.

Yeh yeh yeh, folks will flex their brain muscles to disagree and good for them, read their responses before you decide what to buy.

I have a 30X30 ft garage, 8ft ceiling here in central Wisconsin, bought me a PRO COM 30,000 btu vent free dual fuel heater at Menards for $200.00 and for me, works just dandy.

There is a lot more to it than square footage. To find out the heat load on any room or home you need to have a load calculation performed. This is a process that takes into account location, construction features, etc. With a portable heater (which is what you're talking about if it's 5,000 BTU), you can estimate heating ability with the 10 - 15 watt per square foot rule of thumb. So, 1,500 watts (5,120 BTU) will heat about 150 - 225 square feet. To go from watts to BTU, multiply watts by 3.4.

The number of square feet that an 8000 btu heater will heat can not be accurately determined just by knowing the output of the heater.Given a small, well insulated, energy efficient house that is located in a mild climate, 8000 btu could be sufficient to heat the entire house.
