I'm looking for advice......I'm wrapping up the renovations to my man-cave / shop and will need to heat the space. The area is 650sf in size, constructed with cmu and is uninsulated.....its part of a large 5-car garage / barn structure. I'm not sure if I should go with a propane or electric heater.

That is beautiful!
I guess the big question is how often do you want to heat it? Being uninsulated, heating it all winter either way isn't going to be cheap. Do you have 240v at the garage? Are you going to paint or have other flammable gasses in there? Propane is cheap right now. It can also heat the space quicker than electricity. You will need a vent. Check out Modine Hot Dawg heaters. For about $600 you can get a 30,000 btu heater which is plenty for your 650 square feet. Price out electric heaters in that size along with electric needs and you'll find propane is cheaper. |
