Greenhouse heating technology has come a long way—from simple heat retention to systems engineered for efficiency and sustainability. Today, heating equipment investments offer operators an opportunity to future-proof their greenhouse facility (and business) against fluctuating energy costs and environmental demands.

You don’t want to look only a year or two down the road with your business. Your approach to heating technology is a great way to understand this principle.

Let’s break down how greenhouse operators can adapt their systems not only to perform better today but to thrive tomorrow.

A Brief History of Greenhouse Heating

The roots of greenhouse heating innovation date back to the 1800s, when pioneers like Charles Lucien Bonaparte laid the groundwork with early hot water systems. Zipping along into the 20th century, coal and oil boilers were later supplanted largely by natural gas and electric heating. 

As time has gone on, those methods have evolved with energy efficiency as perhaps the guiding principle. This evolution was gradual for a long time, but as technology in general has advanced into the 21st century, the evolution of heating tech is moving faster than ever before.
