Modine PDP250AE0185 Propane Gas Heater - 115V

Power Vented Greenhouse Heat With Reliable Ignition - 115V Propane

Cold nights stress plants and drive up fuel bills when a heater wastes energy. This propane unit heater uses a power exhauster and collector box to reach an 80% thermal efficiency rating, and its pilot-ignition system retries automatically if a start fails. The result is steadier heat with less manual attention.

As a single unit sold each, it suits a grower heating one greenhouse, a propagation room or a dedicated growing space. Growers with larger footprints can add more units to match the space.

Key Features & Benefits

• 80% thermal efficiency — more of the fuel becomes usable heat for the growing space.
• Intermittent pilot ignition with continuous retry — the system shuts off fully when not firing and keeps trying to light if a start fails.
• Power vented design — a power exhauster moves combustion gases out of the building.
• Designed for 0.5 inches of external static pressure — it is built to operate against resistance in the vent system.
• 115V electrical supply — it runs on standard 115V power.

Who Should Use Modine PDP250AE0185

Greenhouse operators, commercial growers and home gardeners who want propane heat with a power vented design for cold-season cultivation. Confirm sizing, venting and local code requirements with a qualified installer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What fuel does this heater use?
A: This listing is the propane model, identified by the MPN PDP250AE0185 Propane. It runs on propane and operates on 115V power.

Q: What does power vented mean?
A: A power vented heater uses a fan, called a power exhauster, to push combustion gases out through the vent. This gives more flexibility in vent routing than gravity venting.

Q: What is thermal efficiency?
A: Thermal efficiency is the share of fuel energy converted into usable heat. This heater is rated at 80%.

Q: What happens if the pilot does not light?
A: The intermittent pilot-ignition system has continuous retry, so it keeps attempting to light. It also shuts off fully when it is not firing.

Q: What is external static pressure?
A: It is the resistance the vent system puts on the exhaust fan. This heater is designed for 0.5 inches.

Q: Do I need a professional to install it?
A: Gas heaters should be installed by a qualified professional following the manufacturer's instructions and local codes. This covers gas supply, venting and electrical connection.
