I thought the swamp units might add a lot of moisture... before I got heat
I had a problem with condensation and rust... on really humid days...
I installed a 50K btu Reznor ceiling hung gas heating unit this year and it
keeps my shop at a nice comfortable 62 degrees... it is so nice to go out
and pick up warm tools and lay on a "reasonably" warm floor and with a
constant temp, my moisture problem has disappeared... even with gas heat I
see no problems now... I can leave freshly sanded bare metal for days
with no sign of rust..Wish I had done it 10 years ago..
Winters here in Alabama aren't so severe... but 30 degree days and nights
are common... I only saw about a 15 cu ft increase in usage over last
month/year so I don't think it's costing me much... what ever it costs
it's certainly worth it.
Might consider a/c if I could luck up on one of those take out units... I'm
only 650 sq ft, sealed and well insulated..so it shouldn't be very
expensive to cool ... even if I only use it when I'm in the shop. One
thing with the heat on... I miss an open roll up door... the light and the
view...

Why do women always ask questions that have no right answer ????
