Natural gas... get a couple wells drilled on your property and talk them into getting you a free gas hookup. Then you don't even have to worry about insulation.

Plentiful sun here but winter time has plentiful snow and cold.

We use an Add A Furnace wood burner to heat the garage where my indoor/outdoor kennels are. Lot of free wood around here. We got the stove used so it didn't cost much.

I use electric water bowls, it heats water just enough to keep them from freezing. There is heated buckets also,these are sold at farm & home stores. I have a 26x32 building and i built inside boxes across the back, so then i put a elect. plug above each box, then i put bowl inside in winter and fix cord so that dogs can't chew on them.
