My shop is 1000 ft^2 with 10' ceilings and with all four walls exterior. In the winter I keep it at 57 degrees (to me the radiant heat feels about 10 degrees warmer than what it's set to).I have an off-peak electric boiler and pay $0.045/kWh. My biggest bill was in February of 2019 and I paid $90 for heat when the average temp was 6F. For an entire winter, December-March it averages about $70/month.
