Poultry & Chicken Coop Heaters

Mount an infrared radiant tube heater overhead to distribute consistent heat across the coop floor without drafts. Insulate walls and ceilings, seal air leaks, and size the heater based on square footage and regional climate. Maintain adequate ventilation alongside heating to control moisture and ammonia buildup, which helps birds stay warm while preventing respiratory issues.

Yes. Infrared tube heaters are commonly used in brooder applications because they deliver gentle, radiant warmth directly to chicks without blowing dust, feathers, or pathogens around the enclosure. Features like electronic flame monitoring, 100% safety shut-off, and CSA-certified ignition systems add protective layers, making them a safer alternative to open-flame or unshielded heat lamps.

Vacuum-fired systems draw combustion air through the tube using a single exhauster, offering flexible tube layouts and quieter operation for larger coop configurations. Power-vented units use a dedicated blower per heater for simpler, more compact installations. Both are CSA-certified, corrosion-resistant, and deliver 30-50% energy savings, so the choice mainly depends on facility layout and tube run length.

Yes. Most models are available in dual fuel-type configurations, running on either natural gas (NG) or propane/LP gas, making them suitable for coops with or without utility gas access. An oil-fired option is also available for remote or off-grid poultry operations without gas service, ensuring reliable heating regardless of fuel infrastructure.

Infrared radiant tube heaters typically deliver energy savings of 30-50% compared to conventional forced-air heating systems. This is achieved through direct radiant heat transfer, precisely matched air-and-gas ratios, and efficient burner designs, reducing fuel consumption while maintaining consistent coop temperatures for healthier, more productive birds.
