Looking for a 240 volt shop heater, prefer to hang it near workbench. Radiant, infrared, or what is best most efficient?

electric is 100% efficient......heats the air..
radiant/IR heat the objects not the air...

you don't say how big a volume you need to heat up to what temperature but if you tarp off the 'work space' to reduce the volume, you can get bu with a smaller heater.

Depends on budget, temp level, size, purpose etc….but the IR heaters make for a very nice environment. Steady and comfy. A big azz electric heater may be efficient, but IMO it’s got a harsh feel to it, and is quite uneven, all the heat coming from a concentrated place.

Radiant is the only way to go if you are using the shop intermittently. It heats the objects not the air. If you are in the shop for an extended period of time the warm objects begin to gradually warm the air.

I hung one of these in my SHOP 4 years ago.

It will heat my work area 20' X 32' in about 40 minutes.

I hard wired it to a wall switch near the entrance door.
