Modern ways of heating the greenhouse with electricity

Electric heating has many advantages over water. Firstly, it is possible to control electric heaters in automatic mode. Secondly, the installation of such a system is many times simpler than creating a water circuit. And, thirdly, modern devices are economical, so heating the room in winter will not be too expensive. Next, we will provide the most effective heating scheme for the greenhouse with electricity.

Thermal screen First of all, it should be noted that for the electric heating of this garden building, you can use several options for heaters. The easiest solution is to install a warm floor system from the heating cable. An alternative solution is to connect the infrared heaters installed on the ceiling. Well, the last, most time-consuming option is to connect an electric boiler that will heat the coolant for convectors or a water-heated floor. Let us consider in detail the projects of each of these systems.

Heating cable

So if you decide to use a heating cable for heating the soil, we recommend that it be laid down according to the following heating scheme for the greenhouse: Warm floor

The "cake" from which the heating system will consist will look likeso:

In this case, the cable warms the soil to the optimum temperature. If for any reason you do not have the opportunity to lay a warm floor under the ground, we recommend that it be fixed on the walls. The electric heating scheme of the greenhouse in this case will look like this: Vertical installation of heating cable

After laying the cable, the picture will be approximately as shown in the photo:

We draw your attention to the fact that instead of heating the cable, it is possible to use an ENGL-2 tape. Its laying is carried out according to the same scheme: Heating tape on the floor "Пирог" для ЭНГЛ-2

Infrared heaters

If your greenhouse is already built and there is no possibility to break the soil composition, you can install ceiling IR heaters that will also effectively warm up the room and work automatically. The typical scheme of infrared heating in a greenhouse is quite simple and looks like this: Project for the placement of infrared panels

The real picture may differ: You can install products not strictly in the center of the ceiling, but in corners or with a displacement to one of the walls, as shown in the photo: Mounting IR heaters on the wall


We recommend to immediately see the advantagesand the disadvantages of infrared heaters, to understand how effective this option heating the greenhouse, and at the same time familiar with its disadvantages.

Electric boiler

Well, the last scheme of heating the room - an electric boiler. In this case, either water radiators or a warm floor made of pipes are used.
