I've seen a lot of threads about heating a shop that talk about the square footage, but how much of an issue is volume? My shop is my two-car garage (a little bigger than 20' x 20'), so not a lot of square feet, but it's ceiling is 16 or 18 feet up, so with heat rising, it seems to me like it would take a lot of heat to finally make it's way down to the working area.
The rear wall (opposite the big door) is shared by the house, so it's insulated and I've insulate the door with an insulating kit. About half of one side wall is also shared by living space, so insulated. Don't know about the other side wall but given how cold it gets out there, I'm guessing no insulation and there is currently no insulation over the ceiling, but it's on the to-do list.
I'm not looking to make it super-warm, but if it could get up to the mid-50s or so on a 20-degree day, that would be great. Any suggestions, advice, caveats?
Thanks. DB
