And I suppose its even more of an issue with a hanging heater as well (except the opposite problem). If I turn the heat up to 65 with the hanging heater on a Saturday morning and then spend the day in there, the slab never thinks it has to run and will take a while to recover once the hanging...

Awesome, that is exactly the information I was looking for. I was under the impression that keeping my building at 45 degrees with in-floor heat would be cheaper than keeping it at 45 with a hanging heater, so thank you guys for clearing that up. Few follow-up points and questions.. I do not...

Building a 40x48 shop and haven't decided how I'm going to heat it yet.. I want the shop heated all the time, but only need it "working temps" maybe an evening to two a week. I have heard about guys that heat the concrete to 45, and then use a standing hanging unit to bring it up to 65 when...

Sorry if my question is worded difficult or not making sense.. I'm saying if I do radiant heat, I would just keep it 50-55 all the time and that would be my "working temp" (as I read a lot of guys say with the floor warm, that's plenty warm for working). If I did a regular heater, I know its...

I am also interested in keeping it from freezing when I'm not in there. Sorry, I should've mentioned that. I want it heated all the time, just don't need it to be "working temp" all the time - unless keeping a slab set at 55 is more efficient than fluctuating the air temp with a standard heater.

Looking for some insights and opinions. Getting ready to build a 40x48 pole shed/shop in southern Iowa.. Sorry if all of this has been discussed already! 1. In-floor radiant heat vs a "standard" garage heater. I won't be working in there daily or anything, maybe once a week or so. I don't...
