Electric ceiling heater
My wife has an 11x17 room with 10' ceiling as her workshop that was built as a finished bonus room on the back side of the garage. It's built as conditioned living space but the little electric wall heater takes a long time to warm it up. I finally decided on an electric ceiling heater. I looked at a lot of heaters on Amazon and finally decided on this one:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000AXEZV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details
I have it set for the lowest level (2500w) and it is plenty. Had to run a 30A 240v circuit for it and ended up drilling some wiring in the wall which took a day to repair. Very pleased-The heater is quiet and smooth.

Don't know yet. There is already an electric heater but it runs forever trying to heat up the room so I don't expect much of a change if any. If it was set for 5000 watts in a large space it would be more for sure. Hardly ever gets to freezing here except this week when it snowed-very rare. Anyway I was impressed with the heater and wanted to pass it on. Many of the electric ceiling heaters are noisy and bussy-this one is smooth and quiet.

Small heat pump would provide heat and air conditioning. Economically it depends on how much time the room is used and years expected to be there.
Sometimes cost matters and other times not. Most small heat pumps have a boost cycle to get a room to a workable temperature fast as well. Where you live a relative cheap unit should suffice. Our kilowatt hour charge here in eastern Canada tends to be on the high side though. Straight electrical resistance heating is almost out of the question. Other than as a backup for a heat pump or some other form of heating.

I considered a heat pump but we don't need AC, the heat pump costs 3 times as much and is more involved to install and takes up room outside so I went with the resistance heater. Our electricity seems pretty inexpensive here. For my shop I will probably use gas heat.
