Old heating system

When it is time to replace worn out pancake brooders, consider installing radiant tube or ‘Quad’ heaters. This would reduce the number of units to maintain. If the house air temperature is lowered, there will also be an energy saving. It is possible to save 300 – 600 gal LP/house/year, with a payback period of 6-10 years.
