I don't have any power in my lock up and find a generator too noisy as there are houses on 3 sides although I do use one sometimes. For lighting
I have a couple of 12 v batteries to run a double 5ft strip light through an invertor, they only need a charge occasionally . Use a decent cordless
drill and if I need it a gas powered soldering iron. Any welding gets done at work.

That would be genny and heat surely ?
Plumb a couple of rads into the water pump and you're good to go.
Something like an old BL A series would run silently at a tickover of 850 rpm or thereabouts and give you all the heat and 12V leccy you wanted.
Build a little shed round the back of the garage and stick it in there with a bit of insulation and a nice big silencer to keep it quiet.

Now this is what I'm talking about...
Everyone thinks I'm a loon
I've thought long and hard on this - and power/heat from the same source.
The idea is to throw the gen and compressor into the same "out-house" to cut noise in the main garage.

Sounds like a bloody great idea to me particularly with the radiators, have a few decent heavy duty batteries for it to charge and use an inverter,
aldi and netto have them every so often. Let us know how you get on.

I rather like this one, for all sorts of reasons (but especially for the noise it makes).
