No heat???!! NOT an option in the shop. Hanger will be warm when it's warm outside. I am putting a 40' wide door between the shop and the hanger so I can roll a plane into the warm side if I want to.
Damn Courier....I thought that was a hovering hostile space craft when I first looked at it...nice plane by the way!
I have been getting estimates on putting PEX in the concrete of the shop portion of the building and they all seem to come in around $9K on top of the concrete costs. Could easily use a hot water heater as you suggest and put in some sort of thermostat to kick the pump on when needed...maybe an on-demand electric rather than a tank.
Next idea was put the insulation under the concrete and use an electric geothermal heat pump to heat the floor...cost about $20K with 1/3 back on taxes if done this year.
Next idea is insulate the slab and use electric heat pump with high SEER in the 20 range. Very efficient and I get air conditioning in the summer if I need/want it. Equipment cost is around $8K plus install or I can probably get the system and do it myself if I can get the county to buy in to it...simple...hook up the inside and outside units with pre-charged tube, wire it and turn it on.
Still waiting for the county to agree to me putting in the whole 4K SF at the same time. Current house is on the market 3 days ago...anyone want to move to Sandpoint?
