What do you heat your detached shops with?
I converted our detached garage into a wood shop a few years ago and have been heating it with a torpedo heater as needed ever since, but installed a mini-split heat pump this year
and was planning to add a pellet stove but when I contacted my insurance company about the pellet stove they said no to both.
Built in 1986, this is a 38' x 38' concrete block building. Walls are insulated with rockwool and the ceiling fiberglass. Wiring is in EMT and I have a disconnect next to the man door that is shut off when I am not out there.
The person I spoke with at the insurance company had no clue what a mini-split, pellet stove or torpedo heater are. I asked to speak with their underwriter, but sincerely doubt that they are going to let me and have started to look for a new company.
This is southwestern PA and climate change hasn't warmed it up much here yet.
Any suggestions?
