GREENHOUSE HEATERS

Additional heat can be provided by electricity, gas or paraffin. All gas heaters and their supply should be installed and checked regularly by an approved contractor. Poor performance can result in release of potentially dangerous fumes. Gas cylinders should be stood outside the greenhouse on a level surface. Electric heaters should always be 'splash proof' and connected via a residual current device (RCD) or power-breaker. Paraffin heaters should be on firm ground where they cannot tip over and leak. Store paraffin away from the heater. No heater should be covered or have the air flow blocked.
