How Do You Heat Your Shop? Poll

[manfre]

I have a single 1400 watt radiant heater. Despite having no insulation, it does a decent job of keeping the shop warm enough for my northern blood.

Maybe it's the low ceiling, but one of those oil filled electric heaters that looks like a radiator warms my garage/workshop up quite nicely in an hour or so.

Going all the way back to the first response here (although a few others use these also). In my small, insulated shop with low ceilings, this is the perfect heater. I keep the finish room heated all the time but just enough to keep the space from freezing (typical 40 to 60*). Turning it up, will heat the whole shop in an hour or so. The cost of using it like this is negligible.

Now if it's real nippy and I'm in a hurry to get a little heat, I can just turn on that high intensity shop light with the two 150 watt bulbs. Having that right over my head sure helps those cold shoulder muscles :gar-Bi .
