Real-World Example
If you operate a 20 ft ร 10 ft greenhouse in a Zone 6 area with an average winter temperature of -2ยฐC and want to maintain 18ยฐC inside, the energy needed might total 20,000 BTUs/day. If using propane at โน5/unit, that’s โน100/day or โน3,000/month. The Greenhouse Heating Cost Calculator simplifies this process and helps you optimize fuel use.Factors That Influence Heating Costs
- Greenhouse surface area and volume
- Outside average temperature
- Insulation type (polycarbonate, double-glazed glass, etc.)
- Air leaks or poor seals
- Fuel efficiency and heating system used
Tips to Reduce Heating Costs
- Install thermal curtains or row covers
- Seal air leaks with weather stripping
- Use bubble wrap insulation for walls
- Place compost bins inside to generate heat
- Switch to high-efficiency heating units
