Brother Jay, mine is a Hot Dawg unit made (or at least marketed) by Modine. Below is a picture of it installed, if you want to see how that relates to the rest of the garage on page 6 of my gallery there's another pic. Dimensionally it's pretty friendly, nominal 27" wide, 22 deep (16 for the cabinet, another 6 for the fan), 12 high. When we did our major remodel I had the HVAC guy supply and install so that won't help you there. I took a quick look on ebay and there are a variety of outputs listed, plus one 45k unit from a guy in MA that's new and almost half price (opening bid), though shipping cost to you would need to be factored too. A databose search might reveal others. Mine vents through the side wall and works fine. If your slab home is anything like mine in Vegas you may be able to get a shorter gas run from an existing line in the rafters, though if they went minimal on pipe size that wouldn't work.
