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.

Overview

The DR-988 brings serious heat to larger greenhouses. This heavy-duty, fan-forced electric heater puts out 5,600 watts at 240V, about 19,100 BTU per hour. Its built-in thermostat switches it on and off to hold the temperature you set, and the fan can run continuously or on auto.

Sturdy, portable and safe. It is sized for greenhouses of about 200 sq ft and up, such as the Riga XL and the Royal Victorian VI46. A carry handle and built-in cord storage make it easy to move, it runs quietly at about 45 dB, and finger-proof grills and automatic overheat cut-off add safety. Despite the brand name, it heats with a fan-forced element.

Our tip: Have a licensed electrician install a dedicated 240V, 30-amp circuit with a NEMA 6-30R receptacle, with GFCI protection for a damp greenhouse. In very cold climates, a large greenhouse may need a second heater.
