New Electric Furnace Suggestions
I purchased a piece of property with a 28 x 40 building with no heating. It needs a new roof and is drywalled completely with 2 doors, 8 windows and a garage door. Does anyone have any suggestions as to any electric furnace I should be looking at?
I do not need air conditioning, but one that would be sufficiently heat this building well. 220 and 440 are available.
Thank you!

It is utterly impossible to make even a guess as to what size (I assume that is what you want) electric furnace would be required with the sparse details that you have provided.

WELL first what will you do in it??? Horse's????
If open inside Id go with 2 electric unit heaters. Like the gas ones. Hang from the ceiling one blow down one side the other blow back up the other side of the builing. AS far as size you have to run a heat loss on it. Id get some insulation in the ceiling after the new roof.

If it has to be electric I've had great luck with Dayton heaters and they come in sizes that would probably fit your application. If you have an account at Grainger that would be the place to get them.
