The area that 1500 BTU can heat depends on various factors, including insulation, ceiling height, and climate. Generally, a 1500 BTU heater can effectively warm a space of approximately 150 to 300 square feet. For optimal heating, it's essential to consider these variables to ensure adequate comfort in the intended area.
A good size home of about 1500 sq ft would need about 80,000 btu to heat it effectively on a very cold day..the area you live in and how well the place you are heating is insulated will determine how effective 5118 btu will heat any given area...So 5118 btu heater would most likely heat a 100 sq ft room as long as it is closed off and is insulated good. if you figure 80,000 btu will heat a home of 1500 sq ft and the heat will not have to run contuinously..it would take 53 btu to heat 1 sq ft of space...with this in mind you will see that your heat will only run maybe 10 to 15 minutes per hour depending on the outside temperature...the colder it is the more it will run...the warmer it is the less it will run..
1500 sq ft
Don`t you mean square feet?
1 watt is equal to 3.41 btu/h. multiply 1 by 1500 and we get 1500 watts. multiply 3.41 by 1500 and we get 5115btu/h. Therefore we can come to the conclusion that 1500 watts < 45000 btu. 45000btu/h is higher than over 10 times 1500 watts.simplified answer = 45000 btu is hilariously higher than 1500 watts.-Tychusfindlay919P.S. if you meant 4500 btu/h then 1500 watts is higher
400k btu
Yes, about 4x too big.
800 to 1500 BTU's
It takes about 55 BTU'S It takes 180 BTU'S to raise 32 degrees to 212 degrees.
A 1500 BTU heater typically heats an area of about 150 to 300 square feet, depending on factors such as insulation, ceiling height, and the climate of the space. In well-insulated areas, it may effectively heat closer to 300 square feet, while in less insulated spaces, the coverage may be closer to 150 square feet. Always consider these variables for optimal heating efficiency.
To calculate the BTU (British Thermal Units) needed to heat a space, you need to consider the area of the space, the desired temperature increase, the insulation levels, and any additional heat sources. You can use a BTU calculator or consult with a heating specialist to determine the appropriate BTU rating for your space.
A 1500 BTU heater typically heats an area of about 150 to 300 square feet, depending on factors such as insulation, ceiling height, and outdoor temperature. In well-insulated spaces, it can effectively warm closer to the upper end of that range, while in poorly insulated areas, it may only cover the lower end. It's always best to consider individual room conditions for optimal heating performance.
The BTU output requirements of your furnace must be determined by heat load and heat loss calculations on the area that is heated. You should consult several HVAC contractors for estimates and recommendations.There are many factors that influence the BTU requirements of a furnace in any location.
