Heaters – Keep Your Farm Buildings Warm and Dry

Proper heating in farm buildings is essential for animal welfare, protecting stored goods and maintaining comfortable working conditions during the colder months. On Landwirt.com you can find a variety of heaters suitable for stables, barns, workshops, greenhouses and other agricultural buildings. Our marketplace features listings from both private sellers and professional dealers across Europe.

Common types of farm heaters include oil-fired space heaters, gas-powered radiant heaters, infrared heat lamps for young livestock, electric fan heaters for smaller spaces and wood-burning or biomass stoves for sustainable heating. Infrared heat lamps are particularly important in livestock farming, providing targeted warmth for newborn calves, piglets and chicks without heating the entire building. For larger spaces, oil or gas heaters deliver powerful and even heat distribution.

When choosing a heater for your farm, consider the size of the space, ventilation requirements, fuel availability and running costs. Safety is also a key factor, especially in buildings that house animals or contain combustible materials like straw and hay. Browse our stable and yard equipment section for a full range of heating solutions and related farmyard supplies available at competitive prices.

What type of heater is best for a livestock stable?

The best heater for a livestock stable depends on the animals housed and the building size. Infrared heat lamps are ideal for warming specific areas such as calf pens or farrowing crates without overheating the entire space. For larger stables, oil or gas-fired radiant heaters provide efficient and even warmth. Always ensure adequate ventilation when using combustion-based heaters to prevent harmful gas build-up, and keep heating elements out of reach of animals.

How can I reduce heating costs on the farm?

Reducing heating costs starts with good building insulation. Seal gaps in walls, doors and windows to minimise heat loss. Use thermostatic controls to maintain optimal temperatures without wasting energy. Consider biomass heating systems that burn wood chips or pellets, which can be significantly cheaper than oil or gas in rural areas. Zone heating, where only occupied areas are heated, is another effective strategy for large farm buildings.

Are infrared heat lamps safe for young animals?

Infrared heat lamps are widely used and considered safe for young livestock when installed and maintained correctly. Mount lamps at the recommended height above the resting area and secure them firmly to prevent falling. Use protective guards to keep animals from touching the hot surfaces. Regularly check electrical connections and replace bulbs before they fail. Never place heat lamps near combustible materials such as straw bedding, and always have a fire extinguisher accessible.
