I am looking for a good electric shop heater. My shop size is 16 x 24 with 10 ft ceiling.

Not familiar with your electric heater but I've got a similar situation and I went with this unit. It's worked out well for about 10 years now.

5kw heater. At $0.10/kw hr = $0.50 / hour.

Good point. Gas is much cheaper than electricity in MN. I turn the thermostat down to 55 at night and when I'm not in the shop, which is well insulated. To tell you the truth our gas bill didn't seem to be affected when we added the infrared heater.
