ORA 2KW FAN HEATER

Description

The ORA 2kW Fan Heater is a powerful electric fan heater designed for rapid temperature recovery in indoor growing environments during cold periods. At 2 kilowatts, it provides the heating capacity to bring a grow room or tent back to optimal temperature quickly after a cold dark cycle or when outdoor temperatures in a UK winter drop the ambient temperature of an uninsulated growing space below the level that plant health requires. The built-in fan distributes heat rapidly and evenly through the growing space, making it significantly faster at raising room temperature than the radiant-only heat output of oil-filled radiators.

When a Fan Heater Is the Right Choice

Experienced UK growers often prefer oil-filled radiators for grow room heating because of their silent operation and absence of fire risk. However, fan heaters have situations where they are clearly the better tool. When a growing space needs to reach target temperature quickly — after a cold dark cycle in a poorly insulated space, for example — the fan heater’s ability to distribute heat actively through the room means temperature recovery happens in minutes rather than the hour or more a radiator needs to bring a cold space to temperature. Fan heaters are also simpler to control for growers who want to plug them into a temperature controller and have the heating activate and deactivate automatically in response to actual room temperature rather than relying on the heater’s own thermostat. The ORA 2kW is compatible with standard 240V plug-in temperature controllers for this purpose. We stock a range of heating options at The Horticulture Company and can advise on the right choice for your growing space configuration and heating requirements.

Safety Considerations and Positioning

Position the ORA 2kW fan heater so the airflow from the fan is directed away from direct contact with plant material. Maintain a clear space around the unit for airflow. Never cover the heater or obstruct the fan inlet or outlet. Use with a temperature controller set to your target minimum temperature rather than running the heater on its own thermostat alone, which may not be calibrated to plant canopy conditions accurately.
