I want to jump in here with a possible different direction.
I have a 2500 sq ft building (yes, that is right) for my garage. I put
radiant floor in when I poured the floor, then I blew in insulation on the
walls and loose cellulose on the ceiling.
I heat the water from my existing house's oil furnace. I keep the garage
at 55 degs, all winter long (NJ winters.) But here is the amazing part...
The oil use to the house hasn't changed noticeably!
That's right, 3 years later and my oil company has not adjusted my degree
day rating and I'm right about where I should be with oil use.
So, I would recommend you to look for a possibly of retro'ing a radiant
floor in the space if possible.
