Why use a greenhouse thermostat?

A thermostat senses the temperature of the air in the area where it is placed and commands the appliance it is connected to reach the desired temperature. It maintains temperature by switching appliances (heating and cooling) on and off once a particular temperature is reached.  For example, when the temperature of the air around the thermostat falls below the set temperature, it will switch on the appliance to heat the air.

Designed to control electrical appliances accurately, allowing you to create a suitable environment for your plants to grow. With efficient temperature control your plants will grow healthy and strong.

Where to place your greenhouse thermostat:

A well planned installation and placement can have a positive effect on the operation of your  thermostat .

The thermostat must sit at the same temperature as your plants at all times if you want to control the temperature surrounding your plants. Recommended is at plant height near the center of the growing area.

Top tip: install your thermostat so that it can be adjusted (raised or lowered) for different crops/plants.

The idea is to use your thermostat to manage your greenhouse and the appliances within it, including greenhouse heaters and fan heaters along with heating mats, soil warming cables and warming mats.

An endwall or sidewall  mounted thermostat are locations that he will not give strong results. Be careful to not place your thermostat adjacent to any heat pipes or line of a duct outlet. Shading the thermostat is recommended so not to be affected by direct sunlight.
