Heaters? (for outside the grow room)

Growroom Design
1

The room I’ve built does not have the space to house a heater inside the grow room, If I was to go wall mounted inside, then there would be leaves touching it which would obviously be an issue. I am looking for a heater which can be mounted outside the grow room, to provide heat inside.
I was looking at the Industrial Fan Heater with Ducting like below.

The only issue is I worry about the safety of these heaters, anyone ever use one like this? Or anyone recommend another type of heater? It’s for when the lights are off at night so need to keep up to around 75F.
It’ll be connected to a thermostat with sensor.

The safest one I’ve used is an oil filled radiator design. Placed outside the tent in the lung room it really helps keep temps up.

The whole room is 12x10, the grow room which I want to heat is 8x4

5KW is a lot of heat, I’d say far more that you would need 120SqrFt, unless you are planning on running at reduced power.

I’m with FirstCav on the oil filled heater, I have a small fan blowing through the slots on mine to ‘move the air.’

Do you have a dedicated 2 pole, 30A circuit to run that hog?

Good thinking man it seems obvious but fire extinguisher definitely important as indoor growers… I also have a couple of fire blankets and hopefully don’t ever need them
