Power at Work: Don’t oversize your heating units

If you are buying a space heating unit for your house, shop or poultry/livestock building, remember that oversizing can waste energy and cost you big dollars

There was a time, especially when we were young, when we held steadfast to the view that bigger is better. And, yes, even later in life we were told by sales personnel that we could get a bigger ice cream cone or tractor for just a few cents or dollars more.
But do be careful with that mindset if you are buying a space heating unit for your house, your shop or your poultry/livestock building. An oversized heating unit can waste energy and cost you big dollars.
