• Keep your horses warm and comfortable, great for new born foals!
• Heat the horses, not the air in the whole barn!
• Dry horses faster in wash stalls - splashing will not damage heating element.
• Warm show horses during the quick shedding of winter coats using an independent light source. 
• Durable metal sheath heating element lasts many years - much better than glass heat lamps!
• Provide a large radiant heat pattern without visible light. 
• Save wear and tear on costly blankets.

The Kalglo heaters and controls listed above are the most popular models for various uses in a horse barn.

A 240 volt heater is recommended whenever a person will be standing under it, as in a grooming area; whenever the heater is turned on for a relatively short period of time, as in a wash stall; or anywhere in the horse barn whenever new construction, remodelling, or rewiring is involved. The 500 watts of additional radiant heat from a 240 volt model provides greater comfort to the subject and faster drying capability in a wash stall, compared to a 120 volt heater. A horse will not be overheated by a 240 volt heater. Even two model HS-2420 heaters can be used in a wash stall to "blanket" the horse with radiant heat. Use of 240 volt heaters will save wiring costs during new construction. If 240 volts is not available in an existing barn, we suggest using two 120 volt, 1500 watt heaters in the wash stall or grooming area. In a horse stall, it is OK to use just one 120 volt, 1500 watt heater, since the horse is under the heater for a much longer period of time.

Automatic thermostats are available to turn the radiant heaters on/off for you. These thermostats work independently of the heaters and sense the air temperature in the barn, not the radiant heat under the heater. Place the thermostat outside the stall or away from the radiant heat pattern. Set the thermostat dial to the temperature you want the heater to come on at (0-100 degree range) and it will turn the heater on and off for you. Thermostats can be used with basic model heaters turning them on full. They can also be used with heaters manually controlled by a built-in or wall mounted power regulator. When the thermostat turns the heater on, the heater will operate at the "duty cycle" you have set. When the air temperature in the barn warms up, the thermostat will automatically turn the heater off. There are two models available; one is hardwired requiring an electrician, the other is a 120 volt plug-in model which has a 6 ft. cord with a plug for the heater to plug into (similar to Christmas tree lights).

General: Kalglo heaters are most efficient when facing down (not angled to one side) in draft-free environments. Keep exterior doors closed if possible. When hanging the heater, clinch all hooks closed. Leave some excess chain to adjust the height of the heater if necessary. The optimum distance between heater and subject is usually about 3 ft. For full size horses, hang the heater approximately 8-9 ft. above the floor or 4-5 ft. for miniature horses. The heater should be approximately 3-4 ft. above the horse's back. Do not mount heater directly against the ceiling - allow a 6 in. air gap if possible.
 

Wash Stall: The ideal position for the heater should be lengthwise with the horse, with one end of the heater located above the horse's withers. If two heaters are used, hang them lengthwise with the horse and space them approximately 3 ft. apart so the horse stands in-between, with one heater on either side.
 

Horse/Foaling Stall: Usually it is best to hang the heater about 4 ft. from one side of the stall, not directly in the center, to allow some room for the horse to move away from the radiant heat pattern. In a foaling stall where there is a divider, temporarily lower the heater down to about 6 ft. above the floor in the foal's area for greater warmth. Foals will seek out the warm area.
 

Tack Room: Hang the heater about 7 ft. above the floor and position the heater so it radiates heat on the tack to help control mold and mildew. If the tack room is totally enclosed, the heater will also increase the air temperature inside the room, so use of an optional thermostat is advisable.

Note: The added infrared will not increase air temperature by the stated amounts, but it will produce the approximate equivalent comfort level directly below the heater (not the entire heat pattern) as if the air temperature were increased by those amounts. The objective is to project infrared heat directly to the subject in order to replace heat from the body as fast as it is lost.
