Heating the greenhouse is a large expense for our operation. What options do you have other than common unit heaters?2024-10-09T11:22:58-04:00

In addition to traditional overhead unit heaters, Stuppy offers highly efficient hot water heating systems that can heat your concrete or gravel floors, bench tops, or your entire greenhouse. Your Regional Sales Manager can discuss what type of Stuppy Heat2O system is best for your growing application and goals. Our heating systems are engineered in-house and designed specifically to meet your project requirements. Your Regional Sales Manager will know what information to gather from you so your proposal will be a performance-engineered system to best fit all your requirements.

Why would someone pick hydronic heat over forced-air unit heaters?2024-10-09T11:23:27-04:00

Unit heaters are a cost-effective and simple greenhouse heating method, often selected for budget reasons. However, their operational efficiency is relatively low, even with high thermal efficiency models, due to how they distribute heat. Hydronic heating systems, while more expensive initially, offer much higher operational efficiency. By targeting heat in areas such as on the ground or on the bench top, you can increase crop quality, increase yield, reduce gas usage, and create a more consistent growing environment. Your Regional Sales Manager can explain how our Heat2O systems achieve these benefits.

Yes, Stuppy created our School Book to assist with initial planning for educational greenhouses. This document is created as a starting point, and your Regional Sales Manager will work with you to provide a detailed proposal tailored to your specific project.
