When the heat went out in our barn last week, I provided little thought to having it repaired. Our horses were out in the pasture most of the year regardless of the weather, and they didn’t seem to require much heat. When the mares began foaling, I could see the babies shivering. I realize how suddenly summer time was ending, and we needed to get the heating in the barn repaired. I had seen what happened when the HVAC idea inside was not working. The lambs didn’t survive, and the cows and chickens didn’t produce care about they did while I was in the summer. Some of our horses were thoroughbreds, and it was safer to have a heating idea in place to keep them warm. I have a lot of currency tied up in the stock that was in that barn, and I could not afford to lose it because I was too cheap to install a heating system. I called the HVAC supplier and asked to have a supplier come out to the house. When the HVAC supplier arrived, she tested the barn and provided me her plan of what kind of heating would be best for the barn? She didn’t care about the plan of having any kind of heating idea that would be near the livestock. She said they could particularly back into it and get burned or cause a fire. Instead, she recommended I purchased some big overhead heating systems that would gently moderate the barn, without affecting the critters. I loved her help and although the heating was luxurious; I told him to install it as soon as possible.
