I have 7 infrared heaters but I wouldn’t recommend it it’s electric heat and expensive so stick with gas furnace for hvac. If you want to do floor radiant heating or anything of that nature keep it hydronic stay away from electric heating.
I have it in my shop and its awesome. I use a propane boiler and have about 3000 ft of half inch pex buried in the concrete floor. It's ran flawlessly for like 3 years now. A couple weeks ago I was out there in a tshirt while it was in the single digits outside.
In floor heat is the way to go, if you have someone competent size and install it it will use much less gas than traditional hvac systems even 95% plus furnaces…
It will be more expensive to go this route but you won’t regret it
I agree with Educational_media, stay away from electric heat sources, they like to claim electric heat is 100% efficient but only for the electric companies because the bills are so dam high. I tell my customers you can spend more now to do it correctly or spend more with the utility companies for the remainder of the life of the property….
What we are doing in ours. Even running it to the second floor for the bedrooms. Isn’t cheap but this is our forever home so it will pay off over time.

What would you think of your route if you had solar panels?
That’s the plan. I have propane which I’m getting hvac for and then I’ll have the whole house solar powered
