That is a beautiful building! You have a great starting place with that structure and I’m sure it will only look better! Will those tube heaters use a lot of energy? Thanks, Jason.
Thanks Jason! I liked the idea of the tube heaters because I can go down and flip a switch and have relatively quick heat, I haven't yet decided if I will leave then on all the time at a much lower temp or just when needed. My neighbor has almost the exact same setup and he doesn't use much propane (all relative I suppose), but we will see next winter. I set it up so that I can use either both heaters or just one side, depending on what I am doing. If it becomes too costly I will add some type of wood heating setup, probably a wood boiler. I'll update the costs periodically and my level of satisfaction as I get more experience. Be safe Jason! Best, Ed
Hi Dale, thanks for the question… 120V is all that is required according to their installation manual. I haven’t fired up both sides yet, but my electrician knew exactly what my purpose was… these units aren’t supposed to be electrical hogs (I hope), but we will see when my first bill arrives ;-)

Looks good, thanks for the update.
Thanks Jules! It’s slowly coming along…if it would only stop snowing ;-)

Wondering if a 20 amp circuit handles the tube heaters? Or does it require a 220v?
