Re: [DIY] Heating garage converted into den

 

Depending of how cold it gets where you live, I would consider laying a second floor and putting hot water between the two surfaces.  Since load bearing is not an issue, treated 2x4's on 16 inch centers with sub and finished flooring.  Electric heat of any type would be my last choice.  A tankless hot water heater will supply all the heat you will probably ever need and you will have warm floors to boot.

My husband and I are going to convert our garage into a den/man room and we aren't quit sure what kind of heat source to install. We removed the big garage door and closed it in when we sided the outside of the house, we installed a regular entry door and have insulated the room. We need to install a separate heat source from the rest of the house and were considering possibly installing a 120 volt electric baseboard heater. Any suggestions on what kind or suggestions for other possible heat sources.
