Mini Split COP? - Page 3

Hi,
A few years ago I built a new garage so that I could convert the garage part of my house to a work room, new kitchen, etc.(depending on who you talk to here!)
The room is about 225 sq/ft and I'm thinking about the mini split system. I know how heat pumps work but I'm not sure how much energy I'm saving with these heat pumps as compared to, say, a ceramic heater.
I don't really need cooling in the summer, just a little extra heat in the winter. I have radiant tubes in the floor but I'm trying to get away from the high cost of #2 oil and my house oil burner.

Thanks for the help,
Rob
