Product Information

Full details

The EcoHeat Greenhouse Tube Heater (965mm) is designed for serious gardeners and propagation enthusiasts who need a reliable, energy-efficient solution to stabilize greenhouse temperatures. Its primary benefit is the prevention of cold stress and humidity-related issues, which directly promotes consistent plant growth; however, users should note that as a low-wattage tube heater, it is intended for environmental maintenance rather than rapid space heating in poorly insulated structures.

FAQs

Is this heater safe to leave on overnight?

Yes, the EcoHeat is designed for long-term, energy-efficient operation and is suitable for overnight use when installed according to instructions.

What does the IP55 rating mean?

The IP55 rating means the unit is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it safe for typical greenhouse moisture levels.

Can I mount the heater vertically?

It is recommended to mount the heater horizontally to ensure even heat distribution and proper functionality of the heating element.

Does the 965mm model come with a thermostat?

The 965mm model features a built-in digital thermometer for monitoring, but you may need an external thermostat controller if you require automatic temperature-triggered shut-off.

How long is the provided power cord?

The heater comes with a 1-meter mains cable.

Can this heat my entire 10x12 greenhouse?

Tube heaters are generally designed for localized heating or frost protection in smaller areas. It may not be powerful enough to heat a large greenhouse during severe frost.

Troubleshooting

Heater does not feel warm to the touch

Allow the unit 15-20 minutes to reach full operating temperature after switching on; ensure the power connection is secure.

Digital thermometer display is blank

Check the power supply to the unit. If the heater is warm but the display is off, ensure there is no obstruction and that the internal battery (if applicable) or power lead is properly seated.

Inconsistent greenhouse temperature

Ensure the heater is placed in a draft-free area and verify that the greenhouse is well-insulated to prevent heat loss.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Energy-efficient heating helps reduce operational costs
  • Built-in digital thermometer provides precise climate control
  • IP55 moisture resistance ensures safety in wet environments
  • Slim design saves floor space in cramped greenhouses
  • Simple, robust construction with included mounting hardware

Cons

  • Not suitable for heating large, uninsulated areas quickly
  • Requires professional or careful installation near irrigation lines
  • Limited to smaller propagation zones or localized warming

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward using the provided wall brackets. Ensure the heater is mounted horizontally to facilitate proper heat distribution. While the heater is IP55 rated, you should avoid placing it directly under dripping irrigation systems to extend its lifespan. Clean the exterior periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and debris that can accumulate in a greenhouse environment. Ensure the 1m mains cable is routed away from sharp edges and is fully protected from standing water. Always verify that the power outlet is grounded and capable of handling the heater's specific wattage requirements.
