Could this heater be used in a greenhouse?

It depends on the size. Window glass is not necessarily and good keeping in the heat. I use this unit in my garage in between my two work benches - just to take the chill off my feet. Good little unit that my purpose.

Hi Donald, we use ours in a bathroom. It gets pretty moist in there, so I don't know why you couldn't use it in a green house. As long as you don't plan on hosing it down :-)

Yes it can, if you're using this for animals I would recommend getting the hydro farm temp controller or another thermostat with it. Mine runs at about 119 degrees if it's just plugged into an outlet.

I bought it for the purpose of using in a cold frame. Seedlings that were started indoors are ready to go outside to be tempered for the greenhouse (that is not built yet!)

I'm sorry but I don't have an answer for you. We couldn't use our greenhouse because it was blown apart twice in a span of two weeks. It's boxed back up and in our shed collecting dust.

We live on central coast not to cold but the frost does show up some winters would like to know how to heat the greenhouse

I don't know, we live in Florida, my husband says place a 4x4 vertically 2 feet into the ground inside the greenhouse, in the very center with a 2x4 on top on end with the crown up and attach it to the center tubing from front to back, this would give the roof additional strength. We placed space heaters inside, they did a good job, no snow though. You could also get nursery grade tarp and place it over the greenhouse, it will help keep the heat inside.

I don't see why not - It runs for hours on end in our bathroom daily during the winter. The heater really heats up a room of reasonable size quickly. Make sure it has space to draw air from behind and airflow is unobstructed. The unit is relatively quiet and puts off gentle heat complete room warming heat. Our dog enjoys standing in front of the fan on cold mornings! We have truly enjoyed this heater

You can use it however you want. I have the 75 peat pot green house this year. I've got 2 of them on my shelving unit with a heat mat and grow lights for my tomatoes and peppers. It's working great!

This isn't a heavy duty greenhouse. It's good for seed starting and small plants and I would only use it in the home or garage. Mine has worked good for seeds but I did purchase small fluorescent lights from Home Depot to put in it.

Recognizing that this is a fairly inexpensive choice I would still answer yes to your question although I think to prolong its life you might consider taking it down and storing it for the summer months. I built a treated lumber deck for mine and use the greenhouse store my outdoor potted plants during the winter months. I bought an inexpensive ceramic heater and put it in the greenhouse surrounded on the bottom and three sides by common bricks to shield the heater from combustible materials. This is my 2nd year and so far very pleased. Depending on where you set it up you will have to anchor it so it doesn't blow away in storms.

My greenhouse is in constant sun which makes it get extremely hot. I would venture to guess, yes, it would be able to stand a grow light.

I live in Texas so heating is not an issue. On cool nights here I use a lightbulb and this is enough to keep it warm. You should be able to figure something out. I Hang my bulb from a heat lamp by a metal clip from the center frame. I would not say this greenhouse is the most airtight thing out there.

I don't see why it could not be. The whole thing is submersible, so as long as you got enough cord to go out of the tank you can mount it any way you like. It is a nice small heater, I use it in a five gallon fluvle Che. Plus the lowest temp on it is 70°.

Sure, but I think it would be a waste and it won't do squat to heat the garage. It is really only suitable for heating a very small enclosed area, like a small bathroom. If you are using it to keep you warm while at a work bench in the garage or something, it might work if you keep it a couple of feet from you. Overall, I'd suggest saving your money and buying another product.

depends entirely on the type of plants you are growing. Are they heat tolerant plants? What USDA zone are you in? (I am in 8, and temps inside my greenhouse top out in the 100's by march.) Also, this greenhouse is completely unstable in any kind of wind at all. Mine blew over, bent and broke in several places, and overturned about 100 seedlings. I don't recommend the product.

I think it would without any problems. If it gets under 20 degrees, just remember it's not a miracle heater. Other than that, I don't think there would be a problem. That's about how big the area I'm using mine in and it does just fine. It only needs help when it gets under 20 degrees.

I highly doubt it. Heating requires A LOT of electricity so a battery would never last very long at all. You could get a small very portable generator like the one I linked below and run a heater though. Generac 5791, 800 Running Watts/850 Starting Watts, Gas Powered Portable Inverter
