Heating A Metal Building


I have a 50' X 80' metal building. Who has experience with heating the building? Is it better to use a 5 ton package unit with 20 kw heat strips or 4 20,478 BTU electric heaters? I am more concerned with heating the building rather than cost. Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Heating A Metal Building


A hvac contractor should be able to give you the pros and cons, and unless site preparation is part of the contracting trades, you can find more help at diychatroom.com.
