Selecting the Right Size Space Heater
Winter has visited and with it the task of keeping a place warm and toasty. One of the biggest errors that people commit is either not using any heater large enough to properly heat a room or an oversized heater that wastes energy and money. Fear not, we shall save you!
With our quick Heater Size Calculator, you can simply find out what size heater will be effective for your chosen space. You can relax; no approximations or headache-inducing calculations are required; only a cozy little space. Let's see how this works and why it matters.
Heater Size Calculator
Why is heater size important?
Picture yourself trying to fill a pool with a garden hose: an endless task producing unsatisfactory results. Now picture a firehose on a small kiddie pool-an undue luxury! This is the principle applied to heaters.
Using the correct heater size will give you:
- You will feel comfortable: Your heater will keep the space at a comfortable level without wearing itself out.
- You will save energy: A properly sized heater works very well, which is great for the environment and your bills.
- You will save money: Avoid paying extra, whether for a heater that is too big for your needs or for exorbitant energy bills.
This should be a pointer before you head to the calculator for calculating any dimension of the heater you need. This includes some basic ideas:
1.Room Size:
Bigger rooms need more heat, simple. The volume of the room, which is determined length-wise by width and height, judges how much heat is required.
2.Heat Conductance:
Insulation plays a huge role. Good insulation will keep the heat inside; if insulation is poor, then heat comes out very quickly, hence the heater will do its work that much harder.
Here is a quick rundown of insulation levels:
- Poor: Older home types that have thinner walls and little insulation.
- Average: Modern home types that come with normal levels of insulation.
- Good: Spaces that have been tightly sealed and fitted with high-performing insulation.
3.Temperature Difference:
It is the variation between the desired room temperature and the current outside temperature. As a rule, the larger the difference, the greater the heat required.
4.Relaxation of Normal Way:
A 20% safety buffer insures that your heater will not be overworked amid extreme cold spells and will be nominally relieved of its duties.
Most simpler methods exist to do this, like our calculator. Here's how it works:
1.Input Your Room Measurements
Enter the length, width, and height of your room in feet.
2.Choose Insulation Level
Select Poor, Average, or Good insulation level according to your room.
3.Input Temperature Settings
Enter your desired indoor temperature (for example, 70°F) and establish an average outdoor temperature during winter.
4.Get the Results
The calculator will compute:
- BTU calculations for your particular space.
- Recommended BTUs with a built-in 20% safety margin.
Why use a heater size calculator?
We've developed this tool to make your life easier. Here's why you should try it out:
- This facility is pretty fast. Enter a few details and get results automatically.
- This is quite precise. There's no more rounding or guesswork.
- This is much faster to use. You'll be saving money on the wrong heater!
Things to Keep in Mind When Choosing a Heater
A few other things to note:
- Consider your climate: colder regions require higher BTU ratings.
- Look at the features of the room: oversized windows or drafty doors may increase heat loss.
- Think of heating as more than one: in larger rooms, two smaller heaters sometimes tool.
Keeping Warm on a Budget
