Growing Plants in Greenhouses

Using Electric Heating

Whilst infra-red heating can help in greenhouses, on its own it will create too much top heat and not enough circulated heat and air.

Our range of greenhouse heaters combine heat and airflow to create just the right environment for plants to grow whilst minimising hot and cold spots.

To keep a greenhouse frost-free, the temperature must remain above 0°C even in the corners. If the current of air does not reach into the corners, the temperature on the heater has to be set much higher than it needs to be. What then happens is that a large proportion of the warmth goes up into the gable of the greenhouse, where it is not needed, while the corners may still dip down to minus temperatures. This wastes heat and there may be a significant temperature difference between when the heater switches on and off, especially with cheaper thermostats.
