Re: Shop Heat?

Kind of depends on how well the shop is insulated. I did all the interior walls and insulating in my shop. Walls are 2x6's with full insulation on all walls and the ceiling. Windows are modern type used in home construction and doors are all insulated.

My Shop is 20' x 40' and has a 14 foot ceiling height. I have a 220V electric heater http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_595_595 and a ceiling fan.

As long as the temperature outside is above 20 degrees it works just fine. If it gets below 20 outside I use my salamander style kerosene heater to get things warm, then use the electric to keep it there.

Hope this helps!
