Direct Radiant Warmth for the Barn Work Zone Below
Kalglo® Electric Radiant Infrared Heater HS-2420 brings downgoing infrared heat to grooming stalls, wash racks, tack areas, and horse stalls.
The Problem
When the Wash Rack Is Cold but the Whole Barn Does Not Need Heating
It’s 5:30 AM on a January morning, and you’re standing beside your horse in the wash rack with a cooler pulled over his back. The aisle is cold, the concrete feels colder, and the grooming supplies seem to hold the chill. You need to finish clipping, bathing, or drying before the day gets moving, but opening another door or waiting for the whole barn to warm is not a practical answer. Your horse needs a comfortable place to stand now.
Every serious horse owner knows how quickly cold-weather barn work becomes a scheduling problem. A routine bath must be planned around the forecast. A damp coat takes longer to dry. Grooming stalls, tack areas, and wash racks may be used for only part of the day, yet conventional space heating can require warming far more air than the occupied work area. You are left choosing between delaying the job, adding layers, or hurrying through work that deserves patience.
That pressure affects more than your own comfort. When your hands are cold and your horse is standing in a chilly work area, every step can feel rushed—from toweling his coat to checking his legs and finishing around the dock, withers, and topline. Cold-weather chores take longer, while attempts to heat a large, draft-prone barn can add equipment, fuel, plumbing, or maintenance requirements that do not match a small grooming station’s actual needs.
The real problem is not simply that the barn is cold. It is that you need warmth concentrated where you and your horse are working, without treating the entire surrounding building as though every corner must reach the same temperature.

Why It Keeps Happening
Drafty Aisles Can Make Local Barn Tasks Harder to Warm
The problem isn’t you, and it isn’t your horse. The mismatch comes from trying to solve a small-area comfort problem with equipment intended to heat an entire volume of air. In a barn, that distinction matters every time an aisle door opens or cold air moves through the wash rack.
Systems that depend on warming the surrounding air must account for the whole space, not just the few square feet where your horse is standing. In tall or draft-prone buildings, warm air can move upward or leave through open doors while the occupied area still feels cold. Gas-fired equipment may also involve fuel supply, plumbing, combustion, and routine maintenance. A small grooming or wash area can therefore become a much larger heating project than the daily task calls for.
Then the workaround cycle begins. You postpone a bath, add another cooler, move your horse to a different aisle, or spend extra time toweling and walking him while his coat dries. The next cold morning brings the same calculation. Even when a heat source is available, built-in controls, fragile tubes, exposed lamps, or installation requirements may make it poorly matched to an active barn area where tack, tools, moisture, and animals are part of the environment.
You should not have to plan every winter grooming session around whether an entire barn can be made warm first. When the available choices focus on heating all the air, the precise place that matters—directly around your horse in the grooming stall or wash rack—can remain the hardest area to manage. That leaves you spending more time and effort without addressing the basic problem: putting steady warmth where the work actually happens.

- ✗Cold grooming stalls can make clipping and routine care less comfortable.
- ✗Wash racks may need localized warmth without heating surrounding aisles.
- ✗Tack areas can remain chilly when warmth depends on heating nearby air.
- ✗Gas heating can bring plumbing and routine-maintenance requirements.
The Solution
Focus Infrared Heat Where Grooming and Care Happen
The Kalglo® Electric Radiant Infrared Heater HS-2420 approaches the job by directing infrared energy toward the area below the unit instead of relying on warmed air to circulate throughout the barn. That makes it suited to a defined work zone such as a grooming stall, wash rack, tack area, or horse stall. The manufacturer recommends positioning the heater according to the intended subject and installation guidance; in a typical wash or grooming stall, it is commonly suspended about eight feet above the floor. Your horse receives warmth in the occupied area without requiring you to heat every aisle and empty corner first.
The HS-2420 is a 240-volt, 2,000-watt heater rated at 8.3 amps. Its 65-inch aluminum housing has a beige baked or powder-coated finish and contains durable metal-sheath heating elements rather than glass tubes or lamps. There is no open flame, and the heater emits no ultraviolet light. The unit includes a seven-foot cord with a NEMA 6-15 plug, mounting hardware, and two lengths of hanging chain, so the core components needed for a suspended installation are supplied with it.
There is no switch or output control built into the HS model. Once energized, it operates at full output until power is interrupted. You can arrange on-and-off operation through the receptacle, a circuit breaker, a suitable switch, or a compatible thermostat. Separate wall-mounted power regulators, electronic dimmer controls, and automatic temperature controls may also be used when properly selected and installed; those controls are not included. That straightforward design lets you choose the control method that fits your barn rather than paying for a control permanently attached to the heater.
For your horse, the payoff is a more focused place to stand during cold-weather grooming, drying, clipping, or routine care. For you, it means less dependence on warming a large barn before beginning a localized job. Made in the USA and built for horse-stall and wash-stall applications, the HS-2420 combines targeted radiant heat with a metal element, aluminum housing, and plug-in connection. It is a practical, horse-first answer from a family business Trusted since 1948.
