fordtech5 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Well the weather is starting to cool here , and will have to move my stuff into the house, was thinking of bitting the bullet and heating my workshop/garage, its attached to the house, what do you guys use for heat, gas,electic, wood, whats better, and cheaper?

bassguy Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I use a small portable electric heater. My shop is 10X12, well insulated and it doesn't take much to heat it up to a comfortable level. Sometimes that thing will run me out of there.

RayburnGuy Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Here's the links to a couple of Heater Calculators that should help you decide what type and size heater you need for your work space.

RayburnGuy Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks Bob. When I read Fordtech's question I seemed to remember somebody here at TU (probably Dave aka Vodkaman) mentioning there was a formula for figuring this out so they were the inspiration to do an online search.

woodieb8 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 we heat with electric. remember guys open flames and solvents,you can not have open flame heat... and yes its expensive. 20 years ago the r.c.m.p. came. they thought with our electric usage i was growing wacky tobaccy.. true story...
