EcoHeat greenhouse tube heaters provide low-cost heating to help maintain a consistent temperature...EcoHeat greenhouse tube heaters provide low-cost heating to help maintain a consistent temperature for plants. By keeping day and night temperatures steady, these electric greenhouse heaters protect plants from cold stress and reduce problems caused by humidity fluctuations. They are available in three convenient sizes and use less power than most other heating options. To retain even more heat and reduce running costs, many gardeners add bubble wrap insulation or insulation fleece to their greenhouse. EcoHeat Greenhouse Tube Heaters For Consistent Plant Growth EcoHeat greenhouse tube heaters maintain stable day and night conditions. Plants grow best when daytime temperatures stay below 25°C and night-time temperatures remain above 18°C. Without these stable conditions, growth slows and results can be poor. Using tube heaters avoids sudden changes and supports steady growth all year round. Energy Efficient Greenhouse Tube Heaters With Safety Features These greenhouse tube heaters use around a quarter less power than many other heaters, keeping running costs low. They come with wall brackets for easy mounting, a certified 1m mains cable, and are IP55 rated for use where water is present. Fully CE certified and compliant with BS EN 60335/1:2002, they are safe to use in hydroponic and greenhouse environments. Greenhouse Tube Heater Specifications And Sizes EcoHeat tube heaters are more economical than fan heaters and safer than paraffin models, using less than 50W per foot – similar to a standard light bulb.
