Hello: If you can get the heater on "OFF PEAK" power it will be less costly. Even on off peak my shop bill is over $200 a month for heating 700 SF with hot water slab heat and a mini boiler to 65* in MN. Elec heat is nice but expensive! It takes a long time to bring the temp up with hot water heat compared to just the air temp but if you want warm iron to work on it will be at least an overnight time frame. Keeping it 50* lets the floor be a heat sink for the air when you warm up the air but again it costs to keep it warm. If you use it a lot, I think keeping it at 50* is good. However if you just use it once in a while I recommend just heating it from scratch each time. Terry in MN
Heath, having heat in your pole barn or garage is a HUGE benefit. I have friends and family asking to use the space to thaw out their cars and equipment in the winter. I definitely use different species depending on the time of year and save the Locust , and iron wood for real cold weather 👍TCT
Being able to work in a warm shop is huge. I have a propane Modine heater for quick heat, but then take over with a Fisher woodstove. With mid teens outside the woodstove will keep the shop in the high 60’s. I leave the modine set at 40° for the shop plumbing.
It’s been so nice! I’ll have to figure something out the the electric isn’t my prime source as I’m scared what it will do to my bill but for now I’ll pay!
Hi guys, I hope all is well. I'm a licensed electrician in NJ. I checked your electricity rate. It's about .19 cents per kwh. It would cost you about $1.90 per hour to run that heater. You can check your bill for your exact cost per kwh. 10,000 watts (heater) X your rate per kwh. God bless and keep up the great videos.
Looks good Heath! I agree with Bert, I ran some 3/4 pex and threw another pump on my boiler and kept my propane furnace for a backup. I keep my garage at 45 all winter and turn it up when I go work on projects. There is another project for you when it warms up!
Several years ago I bit the bullet and had solar panels installed on my roof. It cut my electric bill in half. Our government gave us 1/3 the costs of having them installed in tax credits they are still working great electric company's hate homes owners having them installed but I am glad that I did check it out where you like. I live in Texas. Saves yourself a bunch of money
Congrats on getting your garage shop area heated and cleared to work in the cold. Looking forward to seeing that grapple in action (and it sounds like you are getting closer to being ready)!
I had a heater just like that one in my wood shop just not that name brand and it really didn't heat it up at all and and my shop is fully insulated....so when we put out outside boiler in i just run the lines to it as well and used one of the ceiling heaters with a blower and a thermostat and wow what a difference and another thing the heater we had really made the electric bill go through the roof...
HELLO HEATH, LOVE WHAT YOU'ALL DO I HAVE MY BOILER WARMING MY HOUSE, ATTACHED 32'X32' GARAGE AND 24'X24' UN-ATTACHED BUILDING I'M CHEAP AND ELECTRIC IS EXPENSIVE, BOILER JUST BURN A LITTLE MORE WOOD AND HEAT IT FOR THE CHEAP! I JUST ADDED THE LOOP FROM MY DUCT EXCHANGER, RUN TO ANOTHER EXCHANGER WITH A BOX FAN TIED TO ELECTRIC THERMOSTAT TO CONTROL LEVEL OF HEAT NEEDED ANYWAY, LOVE YOUR'ALLS VID'S, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
The studies I have seen on keeping heat and not is everything in the room gets cold. So everything is giving off cold and has to be warmed up, so it takes longer to heat the room. Keeping some heat in the room would be better than none. It comes down to what you think works best for you. Electric over air tools. They each have a place. I use both.
hi there , i ran boiler lines to my garage but keep my truck and wife's car in it ,and already have a Milwaukee 1/2 impact,.got it several years ago . , best to all john
Evening Heath. We pay 0.18 cents/kwh x 10kw x 1 hour = $1.80 per hour for me to run that same heater. $40 a day continuous. If I were you I would run it an hour before hand and during your time you spend in the garage. $6 a day isn't so bad for three or so hours.
I cant wait! Not for the heater, Wrench, or others. I'm so waiting for you to get the 3rd function fixed, and I bet you can guess why! I have the same grapple on order, and i wanna see yours in use :) !!
So I find leaving the heater on low then warming it 20° or so works better then trying to warm up 50° . Also keeping your liquid form freezing congratulations on your new space
You have to remember that concrete continues to emminate heat when exposed to water, think of like a dam that is holding back millions of metric tons of water. I would have brought radiant heat for the garage floor off your boiler. That slab takes the longest tob actually heat. Once your floor is run with hot water lines you're taking the hardest part of the space to heat and you'll know just how cold that slab is, because nothing is going to heat that floor unless you have hot water running through it and by doing that the cement will continue to get harder just like the water against a concrete damage. The cement continues to harden as long as there's water against it. So, put a thermometer on your garage floor out of direct contact with any heat source and measure the temperature of the concrete vs the ambient air temperature of the rest of the garage and see how it differentiates. You're not going to force hot air down into the floor, so it's whatever you feel works for you.
I will have in-slab heat to keep the 30x40 shed above freezing then 2 wall mounted Hot air blowers to boost the temp when I want to work out there. I have all the rough in Pipe work completed. Right now I have a tent set up inside to work on Small projects that i heat with a Big Buddy Heater. At My old place I had a hole in the wall right behind the Air hose reel so I can send the Air hose outside and roll it back up when done.
Hey Heath. I'll have to look into that heater - I currently use a small space heater in my workshop and only turn it on when I'm out there. Didn't realize about the concrete. Stay safe.
I mean id say boioer lines woukdve been best,but im not up north or midwest so i dont know about that length of cold time ,ive heard boiler sruff is expensive though, in my mind id say leave it on a low setting for the floor and turn up when you need,eithrr way awesome man,,,thanks, and oh yes id like to see the spray foam
Heath, If it was me , I would have run a second zone off the boiler. You can make your zones temperature controlled like inside the house..turn it up when your working in the garage
I went to Milwaukee years ago 30 years of tripping over air and extension cords was enough. You looked like me with the extension cord way to many times 🤣
40 x 80 14’ ceiling. Hydronic radiant floor, heated with outdoor wood boiler. I keep the floor at 60 and very seldom use a small propane heater mounted on a 20# cylinder. Not standing on cold concrete is great.
I’ll have to figure out something a little more cost effective for next year but it sure is nice working in a sweatshirt when it’s single digits outside!
Yes, I burn lesser BTu wood in spring and fall, cherry and such, save the Oak, Hickory, and Locust for coldest-winter times. Even differentiate between heart wood and outer wood. Burning ALL Oak heartwood right now.
If y'all continue to have seriously cold weather and you run that heater a lot, I think your decision will sort of make itself. I agree with Bert, you're already burning the boiler. Seems like that is the logical answer. Dang nice to be out of the cold, wind and snow, huh.
Heath you already have the boiler just run the lines. In the long run it will be far cheaper than burning electricity and you could keep a constant temperature in your garage
Heath, I've had my boiler for almost 15yrs, we need to talk maybe I could teach you something. Like you "I have made made mistakes and learned the hard way"
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors There are a lot of thins to consider when you design your second circuit. #1 is what your boiler is rated for. #2 you should log your length of burn times under your current heat load of circuit 1 this winter noting burn times between loads & outdoor temp. There are more things to consider but not paying attention to these 2 you may shoot yourself in the foot from the start. (I have averaged 22/24 hours between loads this January }
Need to put a ceiling in the garage and insulate it. All the heat is leaving the area quickly and really just a waste of money. I like the others idea of running the boiler lines in to the garage and heating that way.
For what it is worth, there is no worse source of heat than direct electric as far as thermal efficiency/cost goes. 1W = 3.41BTU, so that heater is rated at about 30,000btu/h and will cost you roughly $2/hr to operate. Something like the smallest Sunfire catalytic diesel heater meant for indoor use with zero emissions that puts out 80,000 BTU/H would use around 1/2 gallon of diesel or kerosene per hour which I am assuming is not $4 gallon in your area. Better yet, if you installed a hydronic space heater in your shop you could tap the lines from your boiler and then your heat would be virtually free. I say this with 4 decades in commercial/light industrial refrigerant and energy management experience, not just an internet troll being a nay sayer. Up front "free" is nice, but the long term costs on that heater will be huge. And amen on trying to film while getting stuff done! My trips always seem shorter than they need to be to our property to keep progress moving forward on our build and trying to film everything seems to make most things take two to three times longer but it's fun being able to share what we're trying to do on our "shopstead". I have found my 1/2" Milwaukee impacts to be stronger than my air one. The newest Milwaukee that I bought is nuts, 1600 ft. lbs in reverse, older ones were 1200 - 1250 and never had issues. Can't go wrong with red tools!!! My suggestion on the heat for long term.. run the boiler lines, it is by far the most cost effective solution in the long term.
@ you wont regret it! My Sunfire has been awesome, but would never beat a properly heated shop! My building will be heated by an indoor wood boiler eventually, just need concrete and insulation first.🤦🏻♂️😭
Steady heat is better. Keep at 50F, then heat up more when needed. If the propane heater is not exhaust vented to outdoors, that’s not a good thing. Carbon monoxide poisoning can happen. In floor heat. Run lines from boiler. Pour new concrete floor with hot water lines in it. Set water temp in floor heat lines to 110/120F. Use electric heater for top up extra heat if needed. My thinking is, don’t use the propane. Expensive and dangerous if exhaust is not vented outdoors. Great to have a place to be indoors and somewhat warm.
Heat the shop with your boiler. I'm only an hour or so from your house. I run mine from the boiler my 36x24 two story shop is toasty all winter long. I use a pusher style heater. Looks like the one you have just put up.
The heater is nice. Until you get the electric bill that is. Unless you work in the garage daily I think heating it is a waste of electric. Now if you heat with your wood boiler that is different. It's your work that is heating it And now you will know if it worth turning the heat up or not.
I'm not that far from you, 32 mile and Rochester. The cost of electricity from DTE is astronomical for a kilowatt hour. I heat our greenhouse with a diesel heater, which is much less expensive than electric. These past few days of -6 degree weather, the diesel heater burned about $4 of fuel. The down is you have to exhaust it but no biggie.
It’s an amazing feeling when you actually can use your garage!!👍👍
Yes it is!
I would run lines from the boiler to heat shop and have electric to assist if needed.
Thanks, we decided to do just this.

Thanks Tony, it sure is nice. Hooking the boiler up for next winter!
Heath, I bet that Rachel is ecstatic about you getting the garage cleaned out and you being able to get projects done ✅ 😮😊❤
It’s definitely nice. She’s really excited about the new expanded mid room!
Being able to work in a warm shop is huge. I have a propane Modine heater for quick heat, but then take over with a Fisher woodstove. With mid teens outside the woodstove will keep the shop in the high 60’s. I leave the modine set at 40° for the shop plumbing.

Thank you! Quick question I’m assuming that is only for the time the heater is actually running? It seems to be on stand bye quite a bit.
Yes, when the heater is on making heat.
@ thanks, I’m actually surprised at how little it runs to keep it at 50. But we have decided to run boiler lines for next winter.
Looks good Heath! I agree with Bert, I ran some 3/4 pex and threw another pump on my boiler and kept my propane furnace for a backup. I keep my garage at 45 all winter and turn it up when I go work on projects. There is another project for you when it warms up!
Thanks, this is what we’re going to do!
Several years ago I bit the bullet and had solar panels installed on my roof. It cut my electric bill in half. Our government gave us 1/3 the costs of having them installed in tax credits they are still working great electric company's hate homes owners having them installed but I am glad that I did check it out where you like. I live in Texas. Saves yourself a bunch of money
I looked in to solar but the price here was insane!
That heater is a game changer
It’s so so nice!
Congrats on getting your garage shop area heated and cleared to work in the cold. Looking forward to seeing that grapple in action (and it sounds like you are getting closer to being ready)!
Thanks! The heat and the grapple have been great!!

I’m hoping it won’t be too bad for now. But I’d definitely like to get boiler lines run before next year.
Yea if you get one of the ceiling heaters for your boiler you will love it bc you'll be able to work in your garage in a t-shirt
New pole barn heat with your boiler
It’s so nice to have cars in garage 😊😊
Being a fairly new creator, I definitely agree with you about getting stuff done to get content!!
It’s a lot of work but a lot of fun!
HELLO HEATH, LOVE WHAT YOU'ALL DO
I HAVE MY BOILER WARMING MY HOUSE, ATTACHED 32'X32' GARAGE AND 24'X24' UN-ATTACHED BUILDING

hi there , i ran boiler lines to my garage but keep my truck and wife's car in it ,and already have a Milwaukee 1/2 impact,.got it several years ago . , best to all john
John we are going to run the lines now it will be ready for next winter. The Milwaukee tools are awesome!
Hey Heath , nice new tools . That heater is sweet too .
Thanks, it’ll definitely help!
Heat is an excellent thing to be able to be productive in the cold months.
For sure! Going to run boiler lines for next winter!

@hardworkingmanoutdoors now that's a perfect solution. 👌
@@hardworkingmanoutdoorsthat would be awesome!

I use a torpedo heater to knock the chill off while I’m firing up the wood stove. After the stove gets going I turn the torpedo heater off.
I e done the same with my torpedo heater and this electric.
Hey Heath. I'll have to look into that heater - I currently use a small space heater in my workshop and only turn it on when I'm out there. Didn't realize about the concrete. Stay safe.
I didn’t think about that either. We’ll see how much it increases my electricity bill.
Should run boiler lines to your garage
We are now. Too many comments recommending it to ignore. Thanks.
This summer you should add a boiler loop into the shop and keep it warm. The electric heater can be a back-up source or a added heat source.
Thanks, we decided to do this! Appreciate all the comments.
I mean id say boioer lines woukdve been best,but im not up north or midwest so i dont know about that length of cold time ,ive heard boiler sruff is expensive though, in my mind id say leave it on a low setting for the floor and turn up when you need,eithrr way awesome man,,,thanks, and oh yes id like to see the spray foam

I went to Milwaukee years ago 30 years of tripping over air and extension cords was enough. You looked like me with the extension cord way to many times 🤣
I absolutely love my Milwaukee tools. It’s amazing how much power this new impact has!
Nice idea , I have one in my 18x8 shed and the hydro is too high , so it hardly gets used!!
Yeah I worry about the electric bill.

Yeah we do the same with species!
Live in North Florida and most days, we never need mush heat. Next few days it will be 30 for a few hours.
Yeah but way too hot and humid in the summer for me!
If y'all continue to have seriously cold weather and you run that heater a lot, I think your decision will sort of make itself. I agree with Bert, you're already burning the boiler. Seems like that is the logical answer. Dang nice to be out of the cold, wind and snow, huh.
I think you’re right but for now being able to work and feel my fingers is worth it!
Heath you already have the boiler just run the lines. In the long run it will be far cheaper than burning electricity and you could keep a constant temperature in your garage
Thanks Brian, I have decided to do this due to all the feedback!
Run heating lines from the wood furnace
Thinking that’ll be the plan for next winter. Thanks.
I would look into adding a circuit from the boiler to the garage. Use the electric when you want to work out there.
Thanks, I’m thinking that’ll be the plan.
@ I was able to find old steam radiators that work great for water as well.
How's the Kitchen going? I suppose the tools can help out finishing the kitchen. Is the conveyor for the toast?
We are about 1/2 way on the kitchen. More tear out next!
About your heat yes radiant heat from the wood furnace would probably be the least expensive to operate
Yeah, I think I’ll get that figured out for next winter.
cold wreaks havoc! That's why I'm on 'Vacation' now! ha! lah tee dah!
Yeah it does.

I have a Modine gas heater in my greenhouse and I just turn it on when I go out there. I don’t care about the temp of the concrete. Jeff
Those things can pump out some heat!
Very nice, I'm curious to see what happens to your electric bill though.
Me too, a little nervous.
Yeh I burn my 2 year old seasoned oak when it gets into the negative temps. Nothing beat the nice hot heat that I get from it.
Yeah luckily this cold snap is winding down because so is my locust supply!
Heath,don't you have a outside Boiler run lines in for a heater and use the electric one for back up
Yes, I think that’ll be the plan for next winter.
I would put a rubber flap of some sort over the box for the 3rd function to keep the crap off from the tire……
I’m definitely going to do something!
What is the web page or link to the rust spray you keep talking about?

For what it is worth, there is no worse source of heat than direct electric as far as thermal efficiency/cost goes. 1W = 3.41BTU, so that heater is rated at about 30,000btu/h and will cost you roughly $2/hr to operate.

I say this with 4 decades in commercial/light industrial refrigerant and energy management experience, not just an internet troll being a nay sayer. Up front "free" is nice, but the long term costs on that heater will be huge.
And amen on trying to film while getting stuff done!

My suggestion on the heat for long term.. run the boiler lines, it is by far the most cost effective solution in the long term.

I think you may be right. Definitely think I’ll get the boiler plumbed for next winter.
I would have put a barrel wood burning stove in.
The problem with that is space and insurance.
Check your electric bill your meter will be really spinning 😢
That’s what scares me.
I'm not that far from you, 32 mile and Rochester. The cost of electricity from DTE is astronomical for a kilowatt hour.

Thanks, we’ve decided to run boiler lines. The electric will be for this year then spring and fall when boiler isn’t running.
Can you put a cover over the 3rd function box to stop the moisture?? Nice shop heater. Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
I am definitely going to figure something out.
Why don't you have heat from outside boiler to heat your garage
We weren’t going to run the lines that far. But we may after seeing what it does to our electric bill.
If i were you i would be excited about your lovely wife ❤
She’s one of a kind!
You got a bad temper
Nah,joking around a bit for the video.
