That is either a VERY large shop, or very expensive electricity, or both.

Yeah, I keep my shop 55-60* with infrared heat in Minnesota without anything like that bill.
shop is aprox 30x40 with 14ft ceiling... the electric heater on it's lowest setting kept the shop at 62* with the tube heater bumping it up to 70* during the day... total gas & electric about $550 per mo... with electric heat disconnected, about $150 per mo... shop is getting new insulation & a vapor barrier, hopefully next summer... Phuqking Corn Crib!...


I wouldn't sch*t talk electricity or any other heating method you're using with that going on decent insulation is your friend.
I know several people that told me these electric heaters will eat your lunch $$$ regardless of good insulation... didn't believe em, Do now!... by the way, that NG tube heater is still keeping the shop at 70* during the day (i shut it off at night)... total utility bill (gas & electric) about $150 per month...
