With the arrival of the cold season, especially in colder states like Illinois, maintaining the temperature in a greenhouse becomes a fundamental task to ensure plant survival. Winters are quite chilly here. And at night it could be a significant drop in temperature. Essentially, I needed a heater with a thermostat to control the greenhouse temperature, preventing frost and plant stress.The heater is equipped with a thermostat that allows you to set and maintain the required temperature. Its compact dimensions (11 x 8 x 13 inches) make it suitable even for small greenhouses. It includes a fan for heat distribution. While some users have raised concerns about the build quality, I find these less worrisome for two reasons: firstly, Amazon offers a return guarantee, and secondly, the manufacturer provides a two-year warranty. It may not be perfect, but it’s reassuring nonetheless.Setting up and configuring the device is straightforward. It effectively maintains the desired temperature even during severe frosts. For instance, in a greenhouse with thin plastic walls, the device kept the temperature at 42°F while it was -10°F outside. The thermostat setup isn’t the most intuitive, so it’s essential to keep the instructions handy. Although I’m not particularly fond of it, the thermostat rarely signals overheating, which helps prevent plant damage, though manual shutdown is required.The noise level is minimal, but the cord length might be insufficient for larger greenhouses, where multiple heaters may be necessary.For my small greenhouse, this heater is an excellent solution. I haven’t had the chance to test it in extreme conditions yet, but I believe it will withstand even the lowest temperatures in my region.
