Could this be used in the winter with a heater?

I take mine inside when it gets cold. I have never tried a heater but wouldn't want to take the chance since it isn't tempered glass.

I installed one a 500 square foot three season cottage in Maine and it heats immediately with virtually no sound. I would expect it would work well in winter as well.

No. It's a light, not a heater. It looks like there are heated perches available. Maybe that would help.....

Yes, it can. It is basically a very pretty space heater or it can be utilized without the heat. It does not get extremely hot...at least mine does not, but as I state in my review, Amazon sold a broken unit to me. If you purchase new you might fare much better.

You might be able to, but it had a leak in before the winter was over and caused a fuse to blow. The material is not very sturdy.

I was using a Mr heater and just wasn't enough on real cold days. I don't leave it up for the winter but last spring had some heavy snows. I changed to a kerosene heater to keep heat up and had a fan for circulation of air. Snow would slide off as long as heat was on .. cost way to much to try and heat for winter for me..

You probably could, but you will create an insulating pad and the heater will be less efficient.

maybe with a good heater but I probably would say no..supposedly you can buy a tinderbox to put inside of them for heat that is why the top is vented but I wouldn't use it for winter.but is a very nice time very happy with ours thinking of getting another

No I could have used it with a propane heater but I used it with lights in my green house because propane addes moisture.

I don't think it would work in winter when the temps are below freezing. I don't plan on using it in the cold months.

I think so - I love this heater - it has been great for our nursery - it definitely gets it toasty! I guess it depends on what the temperature is when you begin.

I don't see why not as long as you have a circulating pump with enough pressure for the heater.

Yes. This winter makes the fifth winter I have used mine indoors. Safe as can be, so long as you take all the precautions you would with any other heating device and don't get it too close to combustibles.

Sure you can as I've have had it on for days when it's chilly and as the cold picks up, it's best to leave it on continuously with no obstacles in its way to allow the heat to circulate and warm up that area. I've already purchased 6 of these and it's really helped lower our electric bill by a lot of $$$.

Yes, we use it all winter for rabbits outside who are cozy even during these polar vortexes. We put the heater on the bottom and then stuff their room with hay. They make a warm home. And iI fits perfectly into standard hutches.

I wouldn't think so. I don't know what part of the country you're from, but here in Wisconsin our winters get pretty cold (-30 degrees is not uncommon). This heater is very reliable. Just put it in the bottom of the bucket so water currents (warm water rises) will distribute the warm water.

While I don't know how cold that room will get, I doubt the heater could keep the entire room warm. Especially with that high ceiling.
