The nice thing about heat pumps is you essentially get AC "for free". Where you are they should be good for all but the coldest nights. Since you're talking electric heat in the bathrooms anyway (I'd say drain one of them for the winter) then let the place go cold on those really cold nights to save $$.
Alternately get the wells sunk to do a geothermal heat pump and use them for both the house and garage but that's a big $$$$ upfront cost... -Curt On Wednesday, January 26, 2022, 09:52:34 AM EST, Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: I need to get heat in my garage. It is roughly 24x54 and located in midcoast Maine. The ceiling is well insulated, most walls are 2x4 but some are 2x6 and they are/will be insulated. Height to peak of vaulted ceiling is 26 feet for most of it with exception of a small area that has lower ceiling. There will be two bathrooms. One on ground floor and one in partial loft. Loft will be open to the rest of the garage so essentially one big open space minus bathrooms. Thinking of small electric baseboard units in bathrooms. I’m getting differing opinions, some people say Modine with either propane or natural gas and others say heat pumps. I’m still waiting on a couple of heat pump contractors to give me their opinions. Any thoughts?
