Members Pharmguy Posted July 16, 2009 Members Report Posted July 16, 2009 Since your still in the design phase, might I suggest putting windows facing south to capture the solar heat. My father had a shop and he heated it with a propane furnace. Heated up quickly. If you're going timberframe, get a ceiling fan to direct the warm air back down. Quote

Bob Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Ray, my shop is not that big, 18x20 feet. All the space is required. We did have a wood stove for a couple years and it was good. But it toke up so much space.... I got an electric heater that hangs from the ceiling. Runs on 220 volts, has a fan built in, with a thermostat. Works great, takes up no floor space and it's clean. Doesn't make alot of noise. always keeps the place warm. I hardly noticed it on the heating bill. Quote Bob Goudreault www.kamloopssaddlery.com
