How about one of these to use up that idle 220 volt connection.

Let's see @ X 15KW at say 7 cents per KWH is $$2.10 an hour but they
should run intermittently after they are up to temp.

I've forgotten my physics...any one... what's 30KW in BTU?
I remember 746 watts per HP.

What is the groups suggestion for heating a 40x50 insulated hanger. It
doesn't have to be hot I just want to raise the temp about 15-20 degrees
when it is 30-40 outside.

Here's the rub. No natural gas available plenty of electric though including
an unused 220 connection.

To see the hanger visit www.peoamerica.net/N601WR look in the contact me
area.
