Well after talking with motomick who use to be a HVAC tech I decided to go with an electric heater or I should say TWO electric heaters. They are suppose to be here by next Friday so hopefully I might be back working by Saturday afternoon. But right now I've got to make room for both bikes to fit back into the garage.
And I know I am going to HATE to see my power bill once I have the heaters working if I try to keep it heated all winter. And I'm only talking maybe 40* when I'm not out there working and then 50-55" when I want to work on stuff.
Edit: Damn just got my tracking info- Right now looks like the heaters WON'T be here until Monday 11/02 .
I think you will be happier this route. Your electric may go up, but think about how often you have to go and fill those lp tanks, the gas and your time.
I have one of those 240V units like that, but mine is super old in comparison. When I lived in Montana and was out in the Garage on Saturdays running it almost all day my bill went up around 10$ a month on the electric side. And Montana has terrible electric rates. It could make my little garage around 50-55 when it was 10 out.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PX1HDCE/?tag=wranglerorg-20
Two of these. I'm going to put one on each side of the garage.
I’d park the bikes in the living room.. Just sayin’...
Do you have any pictures of what you did with all your coolant lines when you did your swap? Like how did you hook up the heater hoses? Coolant overflow tank? Looking to tackle those soon. I can't remember if I've asked you already or not, but what radiator did you use?
Putting some insulation between those studs will go along way in retaining any heat in there. Just saying.
Approx 40% heat lost through ceiling/attic and 15-20%through your walls. Doesn't sound like wiring is happening anytime soon. I would install insulation and move it out of the way when I ran wiring.
Edit: finally got around to run wiring.
