- No bulb, no exposed element. The heating wire is sealed between two panels, with a thermostat and a separate over-temperature cutoff.
- Plugs into a standard outlet. 160 W, 110 V, two-prong plug, 65 in cord. Use an outdoor-rated outlet.
- 30 days to send it back. If it is not right for your coop, we take it back.
A heat lamp hangs a hot bulb over dry bedding. This does not.
Coop fires almost always start the same way: a heat lamp works loose, or a bird knocks it, and it lands in the straw. The RoostGuard panel heater has no bulb to break and no exposed element. It warms the air and the birds near it, runs on a thermostat, and shuts itself down if it ever runs too hot.
- No bulb, no exposed element. The heating wire sits sealed between a front and a back panel. Nothing glows, nothing can shatter.
- You choose how warm. A dial on the cord runs from low to high, so you set it for a mild night or a hard freeze without swapping bulbs.
- Hang it or stand it. Two removable feet let it stand on the coop floor, and keyhole slots on the back let you hang it flat on a wall. The feet have screw holes if you want it fixed down.
- Built-in safety. A thermostat holds the temperature and a separate over-temperature protector cuts power if something goes wrong.
- Carry handle. Move it between the coop and the brooder without unbolting anything.

Before you order: This is a spot heater. It warms the area around it, which is what chicks, young birds, recovering hens, bantams and thin-feathered breeds need in a hard freeze. It is not a room heater for a whole barn. Plug it into an outdoor-rated outlet and route the cord where the flock cannot peck at it.

Is it right for my birds?
This is a spot heater. It warms the area right around the panel, which is what chicks, young birds, recovering hens, bantams and thin-feathered breeds need in a hard freeze. Healthy adult birds of cold-hardy breeds usually cope with winter without added heat, as long as the coop is dry and draft-free with good ventilation. It is not a room heater for a whole barn.

How do I set it up safely?
How do I set it up safely?
Stand it on the coop floor with the two included feet, or hang it flat on a wall using the keyhole slots on the back. Both feet have screw holes if you want it fixed down. Keep bedding and straw from piling up against the panel, and give your birds room to move closer or further away so they can choose how warm they want to be. Full instructions are in the box.

You set it with the dial on the cord, from low for a mild night to high for a hard freeze. The built-in thermostat holds the temperature and a separate over-temperature protector cuts the power if anything goes wrong. It warms the birds and air near the panel, not the whole coop.

Young birds stayed active. Adults only need it when it really freezes.
Works well
Worth buying
Use an outdoor-rated outlet and route the cord so they can't peck it.
Too many fire stories with lamps and dry bedding. Sealed panel, thermostat dial, no bulb.
Not a whole-coop heater - the page says that. Warms the birds near it, which is what we needed.
Used it in the brooder first, then carried it to the main coop. Handle helps.
Hangs on the wall or stands on the feet. I keep it on low most cold nights.
Always hated a hot bulb over straw. This doesn't do that.
Over-temp cutoff is there if something goes wrong.
