I live in Ohio with bad winters. My electric bill will rase only by $30 a month.
Here it is, I HIGHLY recommend it.

That's a nice little heater. Unfortunately, my shop is a 24 x 36 pole building. I started moving things in shortly after it was built. Never really intended to return to working on or seriously building cars again! So, I didn't insulate it, big mistake. You run yours all week long? I'd just be happy to have something that I could heat it up for the evening or to work on the weekends. Midwestern winters can be testy.

My buddy and I talked, may do something with the garage this coming summer.
