In winter, many people rely on greenhouses as a means of heating their homes or offices. Opinions vary as to whether these devices “waste electricity” too much, and whether they are an economical source of heating compared to other alternatives. LeadersCenter provides a detailed explanation and a straightforward answer about greenhouse electricity use in winter.

Do greenhouses consume electricity?

Yes, electric greenhouses consume electricity directly during their operation because they rely on converting electrical energy into heat, and electric heaters rely on an electrical resistance that produces heat when current passes through it, and for this reason, every watt of electricity used by the greenhouse turns almost into warmth inside the heated space, and to determine the disbursement of electric greenhouses in kilowatts:

• Every 1000 watts (1 kilowatt ) of greenhouse capacity means it will consume about 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity if it runs for one hour.
• A 1500-watt greenhouse will consume about 1.5 kWh per hour of operation.
• If they are turned on for long hours every day, the total consumption can add up to a noticeable amount on your electricity bill during the month.

In other words. The higher the power of the greenhouse and the more time it runs daily, the higher the electricity consumption and the balance of the monthly bill .

Tips to minimize electricity consumption from greenhouses

Reduce electricity consumption when using a greenhouse by relying on the following:

Choosing the right power for the space

A higher capacity greenhouse does not always mean better efficiency; if a small one is enough for a particular room, using a higher capacity greenhouse will unnecessarily increase consumption.

Use a timer or thermostat

Modern greenhouses that have a thermostat or timer help to automatically turn off the appliance when the room reaches the desired temperature, reducing the actual hours of operation and electricity consumption.

Isolate the place well

Improved thermal insulation at home prevents heat from escaping, reducing the greenhouse’s need to work long hours to reach the same warmth.
