this past winter was the first winter in my garage/machine shop and i only have use of half of the 2 car garage for my shop because the wife still wants to get her car in "her spot". so i tried to hang tarps to make a closed off room to heat my side where i have a elect. wall heater. which i found to be worthless for trying to keep the heat in and heat my space more quickly.so for this coming winter i want to try something diff. but i have a 2 car garage door that is keeping me from closing off my side with an insulated wall. and i am looking at ways to handle this and maybe with help i can come up with a solution.
sense elect power is going to be deregulated this winter, I'm also looking for cheaper ways to heat my area. and what gives me a problem to heating is the threat of fire, because of fumes from using cleaning agents and also paint fumes. because i have had a house fire in the past due to a flame type of heat source.so what could be a type of heat source that does not have exposed flame and be safe to heat with other than elect. or is there a cheaper way to heat than Resistance type of heat? like i had a air source heat pump for the rest of my house and just switched over to a geo type heat sys. which is cheaper. but now to do my "shop/garage".
i know a heat pump can do heat and air by running the compressor in diff directions. so i was thinking of a window airconditioner/ heat unit if one is made! but so far i have not found a unit that does both! any ideas?
