      David, quit bragging about our weather This place is crowded enough as it is.

      We're about six months away from moving to a colder climate...and a heated shop.

          It's hot here too, 81 for the past three days. Its 74 in the house at night with no heat on for at least 4 days.

            shop heat

            Infrared whether gas or electric is the best heat for a shop for 2 reasons. It heats the objects in the shop not the air and it has a fast response time. If your shop has air leakage heating with any kind of heater that is designed to heat the air will cost substantially more to heat with because of the wasted heat due to leakage. The only drawback to infrared is that it is line of sight. You may need to use two heaters instead of one in order to get full coverage. HF has a couple on sale most of the time the page below has a number of options that would work. The blue flame heaters heat the air and are not what you want.
