  Barn heater

Captian B, We've used electric radiant "Cove Heaters" in the assembly rooms at the furniture plant for probably 15 yrs. now and could'nt like them any better. The assembly rooms are independent pods inside a metal pole building, so they have no wind factor to deal with. No open flame, up out of the way, and just not too bad on the light bill. The rooms are insulated floors to celing with 6 in. roll between the studs, floor joists and ceiling joists. We also use a home made ground heat recovery system to supplement the electric. Light bill doesn't change much summer to winter, the REC put us on a time of day rate plan where the juice is about half price between 7 AM and 4 PM, then regular rate all other hours. Just my experiences. Frank.

  Barn heater

I agree with Frank I heat my greenhouse and barn with electric heat (use as needed ) kept low otherwise without the smell, hazzards,and inconvience of other methods.. having said that I would use wood heat as I do for the very coldest times in my home!!

I have two heatpumps (one up one down (useless below 38 degrees except for the circulating fan)!!to move the heat from a ducted fireplace with 4 heat vents!

  Barn heater

I've decided to erect two walls inside the barn to make a 20'X 20'X 10' workshop. It will have a sliding door so I can drive my tractor with FEL and 3PT snowblower inside for work. I'm told I'll need about 17,000 BTU to heat the space. Pretty much decided on electrical. Looking at a Dayton G73 and a Fahrenheat unit from Northern Tool. The specs and the pictures appear identical. The Dayton costs 25% more. Is it worth the extra $$?
