Propane for Farming and Agricultural Buildings

The following are just a few common uses of propane heat in the agriculture industry:

Boilers

A boiler system is great for those looking to distribute propane building heat, where hot water is used in lieu of direct heat.

This can be convenient for the heating of farm buildings such as greenhouses and dairy barns where air ducts might be impractical.

Radiant Heat Systems

With a radiant system, heat is supplied through a wall, floor and ceiling panels. The heat system can draw its fuel from an external propane tank.

Panels are a much more structurally convenient means for heat distribute in enclosures such as a livestock farm or greenhouse.

Specially Designed Furnaces

If you have a building with unique needs, heat furnaces can be especially designed to suit the requirements of your farming property.

Workshops

In the agriculture industry, propane gas is great for workshop heat.

Other fueling options could leak or spread noxious gases, however, propane is a low-emitting substance that is environmentally friendly.

Livestock Barns

Propane farm heaters are great for livestock barns because of the environmental benefits.

You can keep the area sufficiently warm for all the animals without having to worry about noxious greenhouses gases affecting their health.

Poultry Houses

Propane is also ideal for poultry houses, where the air should be clean and pure as possible to ensure the optimal health of the birds.

A propane-powered poultry house heater allows the chickens and turkeys to be kept at proper temperatures in a clean-air environment.

Greenhouses

Propane for greenhouses allows you to keep plants, fruits and vegetables at proper temperatures.

Also, when fruits and vegetables are cultivated, it is essential for the surrounding environment to be pure and free of toxins and noxious gases. Emissions remain at an absolute minimum with propane.

Irrigation Engines

 

Irrigation can be one of the most costly aspects of farming operation. Due to the lower cost and higher fueling power of propane, you can receive more energy for less.
