The lofty high ceilings in a barn home are great for creating an open feel but present a bit of challenge when thinking about how to heat the space. The question being how to economically heat a house this size without breaking the bank.
We research many different heating options. We looked at traditional furnaces and baseboards. We looked at individual heating like cadet heaters. We even considered wood fired furnaces. After much online research we came upon a product call Comfort Cove Radiant Heat. These radiant heaters mount high on the wall near the ceiling and radiate heat down into the room. They were super affordable and even came with free shipping. They are safe, inexpensive to run and can heat a large space at a lower temperature than normal heaters. There's no running fans so they are completely silent.
The cozy heat from a Comfort Cove Radiant heater is like standing next to the wood stove but with these heaters you can control the temperature on the thermostat.

Cost for heaters for entire barn home (approx. 3200 square feet) was $2400
