If I can provide a bit of advice. Buy yourself a bathroom exhaust fan and set it up with a timer so that it pulls the totally moisture saturated air out of your garage. In addition a dehumidifier plumbed via a hose or whatever directly to the floor drain. In slab is awesome, however it does have its own challenges. The setup that I described above will keep you from having mold and mildew issues in your garage. Set the timer to have the fan on about an hour after you usually get home and off after maybe 4 hours. On at 02:00 and off after a couple of hours again should catch most of it, and the dehumidifier will doo the rest.

No boiler yet, but all lines plumbed and ready to rock...

i install moisture sensing bath fans in areas like that, but mostly in bathrooms with steam showers. can turn it on manually, or it can go on automatically with a sense of rise of humidity.

OR...don't bother with the in-floor heat and hang a forced air furnace and have no problems.

RZR101 next door to me has the exact same size garage and has in-floor heating. I have had forced air out in mine since day 1 (14yrs ago now). The garages are insulated real well and I leave mine at 17-18* all the time....guess who's gas bills are lower? Plus...I don't have a goofy little room (this is code) to have the boiler. RZR101's boiler gave up the ghost this season and he is now running a hanging forced air...he is going to do away with the in-floor. (at last beer-fueled discussion anyways)

Does his boiler only do the garage or the rest of his house? There are advantages and disadvantages to both. A little Unit Heater for a garage is definitely the smarter option if all you're doing is heating the garage (but your floor wont be as dry ), but if you're going to heat the garage, heat your hot water for the house, heat the house (infloor, radiant panel, coils in the furnace... etc) then a boiler is the way to go. Set up properly you can have a single gas appliance do it all, and it'll last you 25 or more years . Heck we service some boilers from the early 1900s still... granted they aren't very efficient but they run!
