I’m trying to decide type of heat/AC to put in a 1200 sq. ft. workshop. I’m leaning to an air heat pump with a propane furnace for backup. Any thoughts? I am located in west central Ohio.

Heating Workshop
I have heated my shop for over 10-years with a gas (or propane) fired radiant heater. I like it because it heats "things" which then radiate to heat the shop. No dust blowing around or humidity problems,
I have it interconnected to a thermostat and a very small exhaust fan. I don't know if I really need the fan. I have a window AC for summer.
The radiant heater does require a high ceiling.
