Greenhouse growers often invest in equipment to improve accuracy and crop health, but have trouble deciding when it’s time for an upgrade. This can be difficult to pinpoint, as no heater lasts forever, and every greenhouse is different. While some growers may use their heaters on a daily basis, those in warmer climates may experience less wear on heating equipment by only using it a few times a year.

Growers should maintain proper temperatures within their growing environment to ensure crops remain prosperous. If the indoor climate falls below an acceptable range, plant growth may slow or stop, and there is a risk of losing the crop altogether. Luckily, growers can prevent plant loss by ensuring their greenhouse heaters are updated and operating efficiently.
