Space/Water Heating

Greenhouse and Propane Overview

While propane-fueled heaters have their place in the home, farmers can benefit from the energy savings by using space heaters and tankless water heaters in their workshops and barns.

Tankless water heaters can be up to 30 percent more energy efficient than conventional tank water heaters.

Tankless Water Heaters at a Dairy

Project 1:Propane Tankless Water Heater on a Dairy Operation

An efficient supply of hot water is necessary for a diary operation. With PERC support, a project is testing and demonstrating propane-fueled tankless water heaters in a banked configuration at a commercial diary farm.

Livestock Building

Project 2:Improving Efficiency of Swing Building Heating System

PERC is partnering with heater manufacturer, L.B. White, to develop a more efficient propane-fueled heating system for swing confinement buildings. The research project will verify the cost savings that pork producers can acheive by using variable-rate technology with electronic controls, which can result in improved animal productivity and health.
