I assume technology has improved, but unless your venting to the

Having been there more often than I'd like to admit, I know that cheap

cheap propane or kerosene heater will warm the place up, while a cheap
electric heater will burn a lot of electricity with no real effect.
Just have to make the call, and wax your tools if it gets steamy.
