Electric greenhouse heaters
Hello
In article , Troy wrote: We had our first sub-zero temperatures last night and I was interested to see the performance of my new Parasene "Frost Shield" 2Kw fan heater. I only need frost protection for the greenhouse and so set it for just that - (should protect at temperatures of 5°C and lower). Very disappointed this morning to find that the greenhouse temperature had dropped to -1°C during the night. The heater had switched itself on and off a few times but the total on time was less than 2 hours. Took it back to B&Q today and got a new one. This one seems to be working the opposite way. It's a much warmer evening and it's (same settings) already been on for over 4 hours with the greenhouse temperature currently over 10°C. Any ideas? Suggestions for a more reliable heater? I really don't want to go back to paraffin :-( You need tocontrol it with a good long rod thermostat mounted near the roof of the greenhouse.
