RHP size for PVC enclosures in cooler temp homes.

[ckuhn003]

What size RHP did you order? 40 watt, 65 watt, 80, 100 ect?
I wouldn't order under a 60 watt unless you keep your home at 70 degrees 24/7 365.

What Thermostat is 82? Your house or Enclosure?

I ordered a 50 watt panel (custom size) because it needs to be skinny enough to fit w/ the existing LED light panel which was installed in the pvc enclosure.

My basement thermostat is set to 82 which controls a wall unit which heats the room. My hopes were that I would be able to discontinue the use of this unit w/ the intro of the RHP (or at least set it to a much lower temp then 82).

Sounds like you think a 50 watt RHP might not do the trick??
