How do you heat it now? Does adding mining increase your heating bill because if not then any mining net of infrastructure could be a benefit, just make sure you minimize cost of setup, of course.

I heat it currently with a gas heater.
Your thoughts are why I’m interested. More than happy to pay the same costs to mine as I am paying in gas. Even better if I save money.
If you're heating anyways. And you understand the potential gain and extra cost for heating then go for it.
Playing the lottery is a lot more palatable when you can stack it the odds in your favor by winning on the back end 🤙💪

I’ve looked at some gas setups for large farm greenhouses, but if you are just considering a small greenhouse it’s a lot more reasonable. The heat is pretty dry (about 30-40% humidity) so you would need to consider that. Depending on the number of machines you want will define your setup costs. There are a few greenhouse miners out there you could reference; Scandinavia I believe.
That said, do you have an idea of the number of miners you might employ, or at least, the desired BTU output?
ChatGPT estimated my current BTU is 150,000 with the gas heater I have. Most likely would be adding miners to get a base BTU and keep the gas thermostat on to regulate during colder times on demand.
Simple calc from BTU to watts is about 14 miners, so you need a relatively small setup, easily manageable, too. Nice🤙🏻
14 is small? Feel like the ancillary costs are going to be high on the instal for that
Depends—14 miners at 3000 watts each, 240 volt is 175 amps, thats a single 200 amp 3-phase commercial panel.
In case you haven’t seen this.

I would run a couple of ASICs in my garage during the winter in the Midwest. It kept it comfortable on the coldest of days down to 0f IIRC
