The Dr. Infrared Heater DR-218-1500W is a compact, fan-forced electric heater made for small greenhouses, garages, and workshops. It plugs into a standard 120V outlet and is built to handle the humidity and splash common in a plant house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the 1500W DR-218 does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis heater uses fan-forced air to circulate warmth around plants, benches, and soil so they stay above freezing instead of turning into frozen, soggy mush.
