Hi, I am putting up a 28 X 28 Garage, first floor will have 10 Ft ceilings, the Second floor is just for storage and will have 8 Ft Ceilings, The first floor ceiling will be insulated.
I am getting a 1000 Ft roll of 1/2 In tubing and will be putting down the insulating tarp below it.
I am not adding the actual heat source yet, prob will do that next year but want to get the pipes run now.
I won't have a full time water source out thee for a while I can reach it with a hose to charge the system.
What kind of heater should I use? I have choice of electric and LP, I am unsure if I should use a 40 or 50 Gal water heater or a Instant Heater Elec or LP?
Thoughts? Thanks
P.S is Radiant even the way to go, I plan to keep the heat around 50 Deg I don't want to spend a fortune to heat the place, Just want to keep stuff from freezing.
If I was going to be out there for a while how long would it take to raise from 50 Deg to say 65 ot 70? if out side temp say was around 30 Deg.
