Any ideas? Suggestions for a more reliable heater? I really don't want to
go back to paraffin :-(


Reading the other replies I guess I'm just lucky, but mine is working
perfectly in 'froststat' mode! At £19.99 it's cheaper to buy one each
year than run a parafin heater!


Excluding the cost of electricity?


No. Even with the cost of the electricity electric powered greenhouse
heating is a design win. Insulating the windows and good thermostatic
control are the key to cost savings.

Paraffin or gas burning requires ventilation so cold air gets in and the
fuel isn't particularly cheap in the UK.
