How much does it cost to heat your barndo when you move to a cold or freezing climate?

This video can help you not only prepare for what your heating costs are going to be if you go with a steel building or a post frame barndo, but how to improve the efficiency of your barndo so that you can reduce your electric bill and save money on needlessly wasting with heating.

We've been building our barndominimium on our homestead and it has been a huge learning process. There have been a lot of unknowns going into this process, but one of the big unknowns was ongoing costs, and a big one is heating our building in winter.

We've done a lot to work to make our barndo as efficient as possible including adding a cocoon of insulation, triple pane windows and insulated roll-up doors.
