In your area of the country placement of the registers for heating is more critical. Keep the unit in the basement, supply registers on the floor at the outside walls. Return grilles high on the inside walls. Supply registers in the ceiling for heating is not that great in northern Ill.

It's in the relay or blower board on the inside unit. Call a service tech. For some unknown reason your fan relay is not pulling in, or you have a motor problem.

It is not going to cost that much to heat the garage. A garage should only be heated to about 50 degrees. If I were to cool a garage I would only cool it to about 80 degrees. In order to do this correctly you have to perform load calculations to determine what equipment would be the choice.

Do you have anti scald mixing valves built into the fixtures? Maybe they have to be adjusted. Put a hot water line loop and circulator in. It will keep the hot water closer to the fixtures so you don't have to put up with drawing all the warm and cool water out of the pipes before drawing...
