My wonderful boyfriend brought me the full kit needed to heat my greenhouse this winter. So this weekend we will be fixing up bubble wrap and plugging my new heater and thermostat in. Thanks for all of the advice it helped him to make a great choice :)

Yep, he picked good kit :)

I use the same thermostat myself, and the 2.8kw version of the heater and never had any problems even when the thing inevitably gets splashed with water.

That should sort it Jo, I'm using the same brand of thermostat and heaters myself. Good quality and reliable. Make sure you hang on to that boyfriend, he's obviously no cheapskate :lol:

Wise words Gary, wise words ... not that I'm biased or anything ... :cool:

Bubble wrap came through today and filled the boot of the car completely. Sunday will be busy :mrgreen:
