Jim,
I lived with a heat pump for 20 years after we built our house in 1979 before I switched over to propane (we're out in the country)& it did do a decent job until the weather got fairly cold. You definitely don't want the electric elements they build in to these units (to provide extra heat when the heat pump can't keep up with the colder temperatures)to come on or your electric bill will skyrocket. The main thing,however, that we didn't like about the heat pump was that the "heat" that you get out of the vents is never any more than 92-94 degrees. This makes it feel like the air conditioner is on since your body temperature is always in the 98-99 degree range. You & everything in your house (or garage in this instance) feels "cold" to the touch even though the thermostat shows the house to be "warm". If I put one of these in any structure I would definitely add some type of stove, etc. that didn't require any electricity to actually keep me "warm". Just my opinion.
