Apologies if this is a recurring post and I haven't looked through past
posts properly.
I am trying to decide which electric heater to buy for a fairly big
greenhouse (18' x 10') but a quick look at TwoWests catalogue shows 9
different heaters which vary from £41 to £259, and I can't see what is so
different about them to warrant the huge price difference. The choices are
(a) tubular heaters which fair enough are different, (b) fan heaters with
tubes (c) fan heaters without tubes. Has anyone any recommendations? I
don't
really have roof space to hang a heater, it will need to go underneath the
benches, and I just want to keep the temp. through the winter at 8 to 10
degrees C. Heaters would not be used in summer.
The greenhouse is well insulated.
Many thanks!

What are you intending to grow overwinter in an 18 x 10 greenhouse
that you need to heat it to 8 to 10 degrees ?

I'm asking that question because most people work the other
way around. They decide on what they're going to use the
greenhouse for over winter, on the basis of how much its going
to cost them in heating terms.

Have you actually worked that out?
