I put a small heater on in my garage yesterday, now remember the doors are not sealed yet, hopefully I'll do that this weekend.
Midday 5.6C, half hr later 10.2C and the heater was on and off with the thermostat, mostly off ...... Nice :) I find 10C just fine.
Now to get the door sealed and leave the heater on over winter .... Insulation, insulation, insulation :thumbup:

Darren,
It'll take a couple of weeks for your machines to reach ambient temperature.
But once they do, everything becomes a lot more stable, as there will be like storage radiators all over the shop and when you touch a machine, you don't recoil back because of the cold.
Mine has been on a fair while now with a first walk in temp of 14 deg C, and it is soon up to 17 or 18 once the machines start running.
In my shop, it is t-shirts all year around.
All that for less than a penny an hour during the winter months.

All this talk of the cold makes me glad I live where I do.
In Sydney, a hard winter is one where you need to wear a jumper. I don't even have a heater in my house.
Darren:
Yeah, but we can enjoy the sun in the summer, not hide from it :lol:
