" it! G Luckily, my compressors were bolted down during the flood.
Still
considering it though. How expensive is the radiant heat to operate in fuel
costs? Thinking about a gas pack for quick heat, with radiant for more
extended work periods. Thanks.


Depending on your heat loads, etc I would look at insulated concrete
forms. Effective R rating of around 45.

I went with the radiant heat on that as well. Just a large electric
water heater for a heat source. The advantage of electric is not
having to vent(in or out), which is a savings for heat loss. I went
with off peak electricity at a rate $0.03/kwh. It's running me about
$100/mo right now and it is REALLY cold outside. Been near zero or
less for the last week or two. I keep my shop set at 45, which seems
like it would be cold, but if I start doing anything at all I start
peeling off layers as I am too warm. That's the really nice thing
about radiant heat, since your feet stay warm and everything in the
building is warm it feels warmer than similar forced air temperatures.
