Which are the best and safest heaters to use in a greenhouse?

-

A ANNE SAYS My first choice would be a thermostat­ically controlled electric fan heater but these must have safe fittings installed by a qualified electricia­n. Ours is switched on all winter and set to come on when needed. Thermostat­ically controlled gas heaters are available, too. Paraffin types are usually lit in the evening and will stay on all night. Unfortunat­ely, gas and paraffin heaters cause extra condensati­on.
