How Do You Heat A Storage Building Or Small Shop?
Consider the following when determining how to adequately heat your storage building or small shop: How well is the building insulated? How cold does it get outside? Do the building’s contents require a certain temperature? Is a water source available? Does the building have a chimney? Read about the heating options outlined below to choose the best option for your situation. Use a Space Heater Step 1 Use a portable space heater (or multiple space heaters) when a larger heating system is too costly to install and when the space is small enough to be adequately heated this way. Space heaters have btu-per-hour capacities of 10,000 to 40,000, and they most commonly use electricity, propane, natural gas or kerosene. Step 2 Choose a space heater that uses convection instead of radiant heating. Step 3 Purchase a model with current safety features, making sure that it has an Underwriter’s Laboratory label on it. Step 4 Avoid wasting energy by choosing a space heater controlled by a thermostat
