How to Heat a Greenhouse in Winter

🔥 How to Heat a Greenhouse in Winter! Ever wonder how I keep tropical fruit trees growing in Connecticut when temperatures drop below freezing? ❄️ I've been running my greenhouse heating system for years, and I finally put together a detailed guide explaining how it all works! Instead of just heating the air, I also circulate warm water through PEX tubing underneath my greenhouse floor. The system uses a natural gas heater, stainless-steel tubing as a heat exchanger, and a gravel floor to help distribute the warmth. But here's where it gets interesting! 👀 In my new blog, I break down the actual numbers, including how I calculated 38,300 BTU/hr of water-side heat transfer using my flow rate and temperature readings. I also explain greenhouse heat loss, insulation, and how to estimate the heating requirements for different greenhouse sizes. And if you're thinking about building something similar, I've included information about the equipment I use and my greenhouse heating video series. Whether you're growing tropical plants, starting seeds early, or trying to extend your growing season, I hope this guide gives you some ideas! 🔥 Read the full guide here: https://junecity.studio/blog/how-to-heat-a-greenhouse-in-winter-v2 Would you ever consider radiant-floor heating for your greenhouse? I'd love to hear your thoughts! #GreenhouseHeating #WinterGardening #JunecityStudio
