Any recommendations on portable electric heaters? Like something that
can heat a 500 sq ft work room.

Cheers,

Just keep in mind most portable space heaters are 1500 watts. Which if
you do the 10W per sq foot rule should be plenty for your
requirements. They make fan forced models, to the oil filled radiator
models, it's your preference.
Also these heaters use about 12.75 amps at full load which means make
sure the outlet can handle it. Preferably *a dedicated outlet or an
outlet on a 20A breaker. A 15 A breaker would work so as long as your
not using anything else that would trip the breaker.

I have a 1500 watt fan forced heater that I use in my shop and garage
on occasion. I've often wonder how expensive these are to run.

I always picture money flying out of my window whenever I turn it on
for a few hours. Am I being rediculous?
