Heaters

Hi guys, quick question.. might help others aswell..

If i had a 1800w fan heater and i put the thermastat to the lowest settings so it switches off when it hits a certain temp.. would my heater still be using 1800wats per hour or would that drop because thermastat isnt set to highest all the time?

Thanks in advance

it uses 1800watts/hr when the heater is on...so if its only kicking on for 10 minutes/hr it would be using 300watts/hr.

It uses the 1800w while it is running. Most plug-in fan heaters only really have one temperature setting. All the thermostat does is control when the heater kicks on and how long it runs for.

yeah I run my heater on its lowest "Wattage" setting...so its only using 750 watts when its on...the frequency that it turns on I have nofaking idea as I don't pay attention to it...I know it keeps my grow area above 60F when the lights are out says my thermostat...good enough for me

these things are alot cheaper to run and they work well...http://www.growell.co.uk/grow-room-heater.html

I heard that the 120w tubular heaters were not that good and only kept groom at around 13-19c.
Do you owjn one of those then? if so can u put groom specs and temps please.
