This newly developed fan heater is ideal for use in your greenhouse or other outbuilding. The strong metal casing is powdercoated in an attractive Anthracite colour, and will outperform the plastic cases of rival heaters. Inside is a stainless steel heating element and good quality fan which circulates c.186m3 per hour ensuring that the temperature in your greenhouse is kept relatively even all over the greenhouse by the good movement of air.
In order to be safe for greenhouse use, new regulations state that greenhouse heaters should be IPX4 rated or above, meaning that if they encounter some wet conditions or splashing they should be safe. This model is IPX4 rated.
You can use this heater as a fan only (in summer) or you can set the switch to 1kW heat or 2kW heat depending on how big your greenhouse is. There is also a thermostat included which can be adjusted and the heater will click off when the desired setting is reached. We recommend that you use the heater in conjunction with a max min thermometer in your greenhouse, to help you fine- tune your set-up.
We are often asked what size greenhouse this heater will heat and there is no definite answer for that, as it depends on how cold it is outside and how warm you want it in the greenhouse. As a general guide, a 2kW will heat up to an 8x12 greenhouse, possibly a little bigger if you only want it frost free. If you are pushing the borderline with this, then take extra measures during a very cold snap (e.g -10 at night) such as adding more heat or turning the thermostat up to allow a bigger buffer during the coldest part of the night.

Q. Is this heater safe to be left "plugged in" for the winter months without risk of fire?
A. This isn't usually a problem if the instructions are followed. However remember to read the safety warnings that come with the heater. The heater should have a 1 metre cube of clear area in front of it and should not be accessible to children or animals.
Q. Are you likely to get more 'green Montana heaters? I see that they are a 'clearance' item.
A. Great news! We still have stocks due to a recent delivery. The current price will continue whilst these are in stock.
Q. Does the heater show the thermostatic temps ie 5c 10c 16c
A. The thermostat in our low priced, non-professional (usually those under-£130) heaters are basic so are accurate to about +/- 8-10 Celsius between 5C & 40C. For a more accurate temperature control on this type of heater I would recommend using the heaters MAX setting whilst plugged into the BIO-GREEN THERMO2 professional thermostat which would control the heat (between -50C & +90C) to an accuracy of c.1 Celsius.
Q. Just posted a review for the Montana 2KW & sorry to have to complain a bit about the thermostat non-sensitivity. Is this explained by your answer to the Q above? I'd really appreciate your comment on problem. Thanks.
A. The thermostat in our low priced, non-professional (usually those under-£130) heaters are basic so are accurate to about +/- 8-10 Celsius between 5C & 40C. For a more accurate temperature control on this type of heater I would recommend using the heaters MAX setting whilst plugged into the BIO-GREEN THERMO2 professional thermostat which would control the heat (between -50C & +90C) to an accuracy of c.2 Celsius.
Q. What are the dimensions of this heater please?
A. The dimensions of the Bio-Green Montana are 250mm x 280mm x 130mm.
Q. We have a 8 x 6 greenhouse - is this heater too big for it? If so which heater would be better please? Thank you
A. Hello, the 2kw heater would be an ideal one for a 6x8 greenhouse.
Q. Does this product come with a guarantee/ warranty?
A. Hello, there is a 12 month guarantee with this heater.
Q. What size electric heater would be suitable for an 8x12 foot green house in the North of Scotland where it can get quite cold.
A. Hello, you would probably need a 3kw heater.
Q. Does this heater come with a moulded plug?
A. Hello, this heater comes with a UK 3 pin plug.

Heater seems sturdy and well made - power cable is a bit short so had to have it professionally extended but works with no problems.

Greenhouse fan heater arrived very promptly and was well packaged. We are very pleased with its performance and will be using it more as the weather gets colder.

Very pleased - and it's worked well through this recent cold snap with -5 temperatures. Unlike other models that look very similar the fan does NOT run continuously even when the thermostat turns the heating element off. (Beware other models - they have thermostats that turn the heating element on and off but the fan continues to run 24/7). You can leave this model plugged in and it only comes on when heat is needed. The thermostat dial is sensitive but needs some trial and error - using the mon/max thermometer I found that the setting 8 kept our small greenhouse at about 3 degrees
