Horse Heater / Barn Heater Recommendations:

If you are planning to install this heater in a barn, wash stall, or horse stall, it is recommended to have one heater for each horse, including a foal. Horses are intelligent enough to seek out the heat and will stand under the radiant heater if they are feeling cold.

Outdoor Spaces and More Recommendations:

If you are looking to install a Kalglo Infrared Heater in a garage, patio, restaurant, or any outdoor area, please refer to our spec sheet which provide heat patterns for each model.

Extension cords are NOT recommended for long term use. They may be used temporarily with a heavy duty outdoor extension cord.

Kalglo's 240-volt heaters are slightly more efficient, but we suggest opting for the 240-volt model only if the receptacle is readily available or if the installation of a 240-volt service poses no issues.

Thermostats are usually used in enclosed rooms. They are not used in wash stalls. For a horse stall, the choice is up to you. A thermostat is an option that can be used with any model heater, with or without a power regulator. A thermostat serves as a convenience to automatically turn the heater on when the air temperature drops to the thermostat setting and then turn the heater off if the air temperature rises above the thermostat setting.
