Is that the same as a mini split system?

yes. the unit i drew is usually in a closet or in the attic



you remember 2 years ago i put a new one in my house
 
Here are a few pics I found that will give you an idea. Electric heat is going to be $$$ in the house. Too bad the shop is so far from the house. I don't know the reasonable distance for a system that you could share between the two. but if the lines are insulated maybe it is possible.

The reason for keeping wood and stove outside are many. One big one is bugs. I had a friend that put 10 cord of wood in his basement only to find he brought in ants that hatched out in the back of the pile. His whole basement was solid full of wood.

The first floor of the shop is 30x 40 with about a 10 foot tall ceiling. All drywalled but not sure if it is insulated.


30 x 40 3x4-12-1200 sq ft plus 1/4 of 1200==300

1500 sq ft is what you need to heat for 10 ft ceilings

30 x 40 is 1200. that is based on 8'ceiling
that leaves 2' not calculated
2' is 25% of 10' and 25% of 1200 is 300

1200 plus 300 is 1500 sq ft to be heated
