Going to enclose a 24 X 35 foot section of shop, 8 foot ceiling, walls and ceiling with as much insulation as I can get in a 2 x 6 stud, no windows. Its inside an existing pole barn, so no rain or snow on the roof. Trying to decide on electric v. propane for heat. Got some good info on BTU's per gallon of propane (92,000), but how many BTU's per kilowatt of electricity? Disregard the juice needed to blow it around- that's going to be pretty similar with both heat sources, so can be disregarded. I've got pretty cheap electricity- about 6 cents a kilowatt. But can't really make a decision without being able to compare apples to apples. Another factor, if its helpful- will keep the place at 45 degrees night and day, and only crank it up to 65 when I'm working out there. Ambient outdoor temp. in winter is usually about 40 degrees, although it has been closer to 32 this winter (climate change, dontcha know).
Any help appreciated.
