Greenhouse heater.

Posted by Will Roberts on December 31, 2025 at 6:43pm

Hi there,

im just looking for suggestions for a cheap and cheerful electric greenhouse heater. An elderly customer has asked me to buy one for his 6x8 greenhouse and as I've never bought one before I'd like your thoughts. It can't be a parafin heater because he's unable to keep an eye on it. 
Cheers, Will

    Will, my parents tried one of the tube type heaters it was poorly made , smoked!   And got very hot when it should not

     Daresay the price reflects the quality.

    Ended up with an Erbauer workshop heater from Screwfix at £28.99 works fine. 2 settings, has a thermostat its a well made thing

      Thanks Peter, I'll have a look at that one, I was worried about leaving a very cheap one ticking over for days on end and starting a fire. Thanks for the tip.

    I had a client with a little fan heater, with a thermostat that went down to near enough zero to act as a frost stat, something like this https://share.google/uprKPkBmWTFYyD1CQ
