Heating

Types of Heating Systems in the GrowersHouse Heating Collection

• Industrial & Unit Heaters
  • Industrial-grade heaters and unit heaters are built for demanding greenhouse and indoor farm environments. They deliver powerful, even heat distribution across larger spaces, making them ideal for commercial facilities, larger grow rooms, and multi-bay greenhouses that require reliable, long-lasting performance.
• Infrared Heaters
  • Infrared heaters warm surfaces and plants directly rather than only heating the air. This targeted approach reduces heat loss, improves comfort at canopy level, and can help lower energy use. They are a smart option for growers looking to reduce operating costs while still protecting sensitive crops from cold stress.
• Energy-Efficient & Smart-Controlled Systems
  • Many heating systems in this collection integrate with environmental controllers, thermostats, and sensors for automated climate management. By pairing efficient heaters with smart controls, growers can fine-tune day/night temperatures, minimize energy waste, and maintain ideal conditions in grow tents, vertical farms, and indoor gardens.

How Heating Solutions Help Growers Succeed

Temperature swings can stress plants, slow growth, and reduce yield quality. High-performance greenhouse heating and grow room heaters provide consistent warmth during cold nights and winter months, protecting roots, foliage, and fruiting stages. With precise temperature control, you create a stable climate that supports strong growth, faster development, and healthier, more productive crops.

The right heating setup ensures consistent temperatures from root zone to canopy, supporting uniform growth and predictable harvests. Proper greenhouse heating reduces disease risk from cold, damp conditions, while efficient grow room heaters lower energy bills and protect margins. Whether you run a commercial indoor farm or a compact grow tent, the Heating collection at GrowersHouse gives you dependable tools to protect your crops, extend your season, and maximize yield quality in every cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you keep an indoor plant warm in winter?

To keep indoor plants warm in winter, avoid placing them near drafts, cold windows, or exterior doors, and move them slightly away from cold glass. Use a small space heater with a thermostat to gently warm the room, and consider a heat mat to keep root zones comfortable. Insulating the room, closing gaps where cold air enters, and maintaining good air circulation without direct cold airflow all help protect plants from temperature stress.

What is the most efficient way to heat a grow tent?

The most efficient way to heat a grow tent is to combine a compact electric heater with a thermostat or environmental controller, along with proper tent insulation. Use a heater sized for your tent volume, seal light leaks and gaps, and position fans to circulate warm air evenly without blowing directly on plants. Root zone heat mats can supplement air heating so you can run the heater at a lower setting while still keeping plants comfortable.

What is the best heating system for greenhouses?

The best heating system for a greenhouse depends on its size, structure, and local climate. Smaller hobby greenhouses often work well with electric or gas unit heaters controlled by a thermostat, while larger commercial greenhouses may use hot water radiant systems, forced-air heaters, or infrared heaters for more efficient coverage. When choosing a system, consider fuel availability, energy efficiency, ventilation, and how evenly the system distributes heat throughout the entire growing area.

What is heating in agriculture?

Heating in agriculture refers to the use of heaters, climate systems, and thermal equipment to maintain optimal temperatures for crops in controlled environments such as greenhouses, indoor farms, and grow rooms. It helps protect plants from cold stress, extends growing seasons, and supports consistent growth and yield by keeping temperatures within the ideal range for each crop stage.
