Heating the hanger

What is the groups suggestion for heating a 40x50 insulated hanger. It
doesn't have to be hot I just want to raise the temp about 15-20 degrees
when it is 30-40 outside.

Here's the rub. No natural gas available plenty of electric though including
an unused 220 connection.

One of those propane blasters?

How about one of those infra-red heaters. Instead of heating the whole
hangar and losing it in the ceiling, just heat yourself and what you're
working on. Like the ones in Home Depot's entrance.

There used to be kerosene (JP4?) heaters that just required electricity
and generated huge amounts of heat. Don't know if those exist any
more, but check ebay.

Can you have a couple of hundred gallon propane tank installed? If so you
could install a unit heater. Propane should be quite a bit cheaper than
electric. A couple of ceiling fans will also help to push the heat back
down.

How about one of these to use up that idle 220 volt connection.

Buy some rectangular duct work and lay it along one side of the hanger. Put
several exhaust vents in it. Then using the 220AC, buy some electric duct
heaters, a thermostat, a relay and a fan. Do it yourself forced air. Maybe
a lot of work, but it's not fixed to the building (I assume you rent) and
it's a contained system that should be fairly fire proof. The thermostat
let's you set it and forget it. When you're in the hanger, you can also aim
a propane or kerosene heater towards the fan and get extra heat out of it.

We've got natural gas heat in our hanger, and it is terribly expensive to
maintain 40 degrees here in WI so we just use it to warm up the hanger when
we have work to do.

Dang! $750?? How about finding an old oven, take the door off, and cut a
hole in the back for a fan?? I swear, in "self cleaning" mode, we could
heat our house with ours. For that matter, what about an old clothes dryer?

Kerosene gives me a headache.
Better off with a construction site heater.
