Direct Radiant Warmth Where Your Horse Stands
Kalglo® Electric Radiant Infrared Stall Heater HS-2420 w/ Intensity Control sends infrared heat downward for focused in-stall warmth.

Barn Drafts Carry Warm Air Away
Every equestrian who works through a real winter knows how difficult it is to warm one stall without trying to heat the entire barn. Barn aisles are open by design. Doors move, ceilings are high, and the air you just warmed can disappear with the next draft. Portable floor heaters can also take up working space where you are leading, cross-tying, bathing, or handling your horse.
The cost shows up in more than discomfort. Cold wash-rack sessions can turn a simple grooming job into a long wait while you manage damp towels, cool surfaces, and a horse who would rather be back in his stall. Trying to heat all the surrounding air can feel wasteful when the only area that needs attention is directly beneath you. You lose time repositioning equipment, checking cords, and waiting for warmth to reach the working zone.
What you need is not another appliance that sends warmth everywhere and hopes some of it reaches your horse. You need targeted heat from above, with the output directed toward the stall or wash-rack area below—and controls that let you choose the intensity instead of settling for one fixed level.

Floor Heaters Add Equipment to an Active Stall
A heater that primarily warms surrounding air has to compete with every draft moving through the barn. A portable unit may provide warmth nearby, but it also occupies floor or wall space in an area where you are handling lead ropes, hoses, grooming totes, and a thousand-pound animal. Fixed-output heaters create another compromise: full power may be more than you want for a particular task, while switching the unit off removes the warmth altogether.
Then the workaround begins. You move equipment closer, add extension solutions that may not follow the manufacturer’s directions, or keep interrupting the job to turn a heater on and off. Your horse stands while you check whether the area feels too cool or too warm. In a wash stall, every extra cord or floor-standing object becomes one more thing to manage around wet footing, swinging doors, and shifting hooves.
Even adjustable heaters can solve the wrong problem when their controls are built around general-purpose spaces rather than targeted stall use. You are left choosing between heating more space than necessary, sacrificing valuable working room, or relying on a unit whose published applications never mention horse stalls. The result is a frustrating cycle of temporary fixes when what you really need is dependable, overhead radiant heat aimed where your horse stands.
- ✗Warm air can escape through open barn doors and aisles.
- ✗Floor-standing equipment occupies valuable handling space.
- ✗Fixed output offers less control over the warmth delivered.
- ✗Heating surrounding air may not focus warmth where the horse stands.

Choose the Heat Intensity at the Heater
A built-in manual electro-mechanical regulator gives you direct control at the heater. The dial includes OFF and HI positions, with HI providing full output, plus variable settings from LO through 6 for approximately 23% to 70% output. This is an intensity control, not a thermostat: once selected, the heater continues cycling at that setting and does not change output automatically when the surrounding air temperature changes. That distinction helps you choose the setting deliberately for the task at hand.
The HS-2420RS operates at 240 volts, 2,000 watts, and 8.3 amps and uses a NEMA 6-15 plug. Each unit includes a seven-foot cord and plug, hanging hardware, and enough chain to suspend it up to 6½ feet from the ceiling. Kalglo identifies horse stalls, wash stalls, barns, garages, and other high-moisture areas among its intended applications. The manufacturer’s installation instructions, required clearances, and local electrical codes must always be followed, including installation by a licensed electrician.
For your horse, the payoff is focused warmth without placing a portable heater in the working space. For you, it means a cleaner stall setup, selectable output, and fewer attempts to warm an entire drafty barn when one defined area needs attention. Made in the USA and offered by a family-owned equestrian company Trusted since 1948, it is a practical solution built around the way real barns operate.
Downward Radiant Heat
Infrared rays warm the area directly beneath the suspended heater rather than relying on heated air to circulate.
Manual Intensity Control
The built-in electro-mechanical regulator cycles the heater according to the setting selected by the user.
Open Working Area
Overhead suspension keeps the heater out of the stall area used for grooming, bathing and horse handling.
Durable Heating Elements
Metal-sheath elements provide radiant heat without glass tubes, lamps or an open flame.
