Heating an office and bathroom

[camnick]

I am starting to wire my barn and we built out an office and bathroom. I need to heat them since we will only have infrared in the main part of the barn. The size of the office is 16'x18'. The bathrrom is inside of the office and is 6'x7'. Would I need two heaters? I have Propane and electric available. Attached is a drawing of the barn. Any ideas will help.

Kinda depends on whether you want cooling in the summer or not. A mini-split heat pump would work nicely for this. Cheaper routes would be a heat pump window unit, and then a simple base board heater or wall mount propane non-vented unit. In the bathroom, you might consider a wall mount electric or simply a heat lamp in the ceiling. Plumbing freezing is a consideration I suppose and the heat lamp may not work for that.

If the door to the bathroom stays open most of the time when it is not being used, you may not need a heater in there at all.

I just want to heat the rooms. I'm not worried about cooling yet.
I don't know what would be the most efficient and hopefully inexpensive
way to heat them
