Kalglo® Electric Radiant Infrared Heater HS-1215

Yes, this heater is specifically designed and safe for use in horse stalls and around animals. It provides low-intensity heat with no open flame, no UV light emission, and durable metal sheath heating elements instead of glass tubes or lamps, making it a much safer option compared to traditional heating methods.

The heater creates a large heat pattern and typically covers about a 7-foot area directly below it when suspended 8 feet above the floor. For most groom stalls or wash stalls, only one heater is needed to effectively take the chill off the space.

This heater operates on 120 volts, 1500 watts, and draws 12.5 amps. It comes with a 7-foot cord and plug, ready to use right out of the box with no additional installation costs or complicated setup required.

The heater comes with no built-in switch or control—it runs at full power when plugged in. However, you can regulate it by using a circuit breaker, wall-mounted electro-mechanical power regulators, electronic dimmer controls, or a thermostat (none of which are included) to customize the heat output to your needs.

This heater requires no routine maintenance, unlike gas heaters which need ongoing servicing and can have expensive plumbing costs. It's a low-maintenance heating solution designed for long-term, reliable use in barns and wash areas.

The heater features durable metal sheath heating elements with no glass tubes or lamps to break. It has an aluminum construction with a baked enamel finish in beige and includes enough hanging chain to suspend it 6½ feet down from the ceiling.

Infrared heat works by warming the space and objects directly below it rather than heating the air around it, making it highly efficient and practical for targeted areas like wash racks and tack rooms. Customers report it quickly takes the chill off without overheating and provides even heat distribution across the space.

Yes, while designed for equestrian use, customers have successfully used this heater for chicken coops, brooder setups, and other livestock applications. Its safe, even heat distribution and low-intensity warmth make it versatile for various farm and animal care scenarios.
