Hello,
Recently purchased a property with an detached sun room. The size is about 700-800 sq ft. Half of the structure is insulated roof with several double pane windows. The other half of the structure is poly carbonate panels for the roof and sliding sun room style windows. Its basically a sun room with a greenhouse lean to attached to the southern facing half.
My plan is to overwinter our tropicals and propagate cuttings during the winter with grow lights. Temps would need to stay 65-75
The structure has power and has electric heater id like to use as back up only.
I have been toying with the idea of a pellet stove or furnace for primary heat ,id like to keep the budget under $3k.
We live in the upper Midwest and winters here can go from mild to wild very quickly. Is my plan of keeping the building in the desired temp range doable? If so what are the better choices out there for my application?
Any help is appreciated.
Nicole
