I live north of the 54th and don't have a significant problem with heating - the temperature drops in the shop if I'm running the dust collector continuously for hours and venting outside, but nothing a sweat shirt can't handle.

And its costing you money. I'm too cheap. At my last shop I had a system that was switchable from outside vent to inside baghouse depending on the temp. If I ran it outside in cold temps the 200,000 btu heater never shut off. So can it be done? Sure. Do I want to? No.
