   Last year we installed some of the radiant heating panels like those you mentioned in our shop which is well insulated. They seem to work very well and the electric bill hasn't gone up substantially since we started heating that space. I'm not sure what size you would require but the people at the place where we bought ours were extremely helpful at figuring out exactly that. We bought them through a place that advertises regularly in Fine Homebuilding though I don't remember the name. They were located in Connecticut. I would recommend them!

   Does anyone out there have any experience with those radiant heat cieling panels for heating a garage shop? Do they use less electricity than standard electric heaters? What size panel to use for a 2 car garage in mild winter climate. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.

   We were just talking about these guys yesterday. Can't find the FHB ad. We think they are in Wilton, CT. Anybody listening up there in Newtown?

   Seem to remember they now have 110v models too. Sixties house had large 220v radiant panels in Kitc. and bath ceilings. K had to go in last year's remodel as they were not too attractive and were in the way of new lighting scheme. They worked well though, as do those remaining in bath. No experience with shop type use, but interested to hear.

   Also interested in smallest units that might be appropriate for a small area like a closet that is isolated from house air flow.
