Product Description
Dr. Infrared DR-988 Industrial Greenhouse Heater (5,600 W, 240V)
The DR-988 is a heavy-duty, fan-forced electric heater for larger greenhouses, garages and workshops. It has a built-in thermostat, so it switches on and off to hold the temperature you set. ("Dr. Infrared" is the brand name. This model heats with a fan-forced heating element.)
It is sturdy and portable, with a carry handle and built-in cord storage. Safety features include finger-proof intake and discharge grills and automatic overheat cut-off.
🌳 Who is it for?
It is sized for larger greenhouses of about 200 sq ft and up, such as the Riga XL and the Royal Victorian VI46. In very cold climates, a large greenhouse may need a second heater. Call us at 678-408-8222 and we will help you size it.
