The most common type of heating is a blower heater that uses propane or natural gas. These heaters are spaced throughout a barn to provide heat based on the barn’s location and average temperatures. In some cases, blower fans work alongside stir fans to promote even distribution of heated air.
Another heating option is hot water systems, which require a boiler and a series of water lines to circulate heated water to various distribution units, such as blower heaters or fin pipes. This method provides more consistent heating with a low risk of fire, but it requires a larger initial investment due to the boiler system and is best suited for a multi-stage setup with access to multiple barns and potentially other areas where the hot water system can be utilized as well.
