The "new" half of my shop has in-floor radiant heat (hydronic). There really is no "turning the heat down" on the nights or weekends. It is much more efficient to just let it stay at a preset temp.
Once all the cars, booth, tools, etc get up to temp in the fall, the recovery time if I open the door is pretty quick. Just like Kerry's tools stay cold forever, mine stay warm! But like I said... it's not cheap.
Sad thing about living in MN is the negative temps right now and in 6 months I have the A/C on to fight the heat and humidity. Why can't it just be 65 all year round???
