in Radiant Heating
I currently use my garage (detached from house) as a gym and insulating is not possible until the spring and the winter has already started (30s/40s) it can get as low as 15 this winter but I still need to use the gym daily, the room is about 550 square feet I was curious whats the best type of heater I could get? I was wondering whats the best option for an electric heater ive used propane in the past and it was not ideal also was curious if an infrared heater would work if its uninsulated? thanks in advance cheers

    I am wondering why you must wait until spring to insulate?
    You would need a huge heater to heat an uninsulated garage and a very small one if it is insulated. The cost difference in the heaters alone would more than pay for the insulation.

    Gas fired radiant overhead heaters. They will heat the slab and make it comfortable. There downside is you need to leave them running to heat the slab. Not a turn it on when you need heat, turn it off when you don't system.
