Would this be enough to heat a great room - 35x16? My bedrooms are off this &amp; I'd like the heat to get there too. Possible? 1200 sf home.

I think it will struggle to heat this area. I am assuming that this room is high. Heat rises so you will be heating the upper part (possible where the bedrooms are) I suggest you get the Sengoku CV-2230 KeroHeat Convection 23,000-BTU Portable Kerosene Heater. I did use that unit in a great room but used a fan placed on the upper level to 'push' heat back down and around - did a great job and was very, very economic - remember to do monthly maintenance on these units to get the best out of them

Hi Melissa, I live in Ct The 20,000 heats my living room,dining room without any problems 74 degrees on the number 3 setting(it goes up to 9) I think you should go with a smaller unit like a 10,000 btu or smaller which would give you more than enough heat. It stands about 24-25 inches high with the legs on ,you also can wall mount it.Steve

We use it in a bedroom 350 square feet with hardwood floors and it warms the room . Don't know if it would be warm enough on its own for a living area .

This heater is not suitable for a 16x16 room. It is intended for a small room, such as an 8x8 bathroom. For a 16x16 room, you need the 1500 watt model.

I have a 2000 sq. ft. house. It does all but the back two bedrooms (about 1700 sq. feet effectively), but that is more of a wall / air flow limitation. I would say about 1500 sq. feet is the ideal for the unit, but you can effectively get up to 2000+ sq. feet depending upon layout / air flow limitations. That is with ozone. I have tried similiar units, and for what it does, this is a great value for the money, regardless of size space.

I am not sure..I AM trying to make it heat about 800 sq feet..we will see how sucessful it is when the temp gets sub zero for a length of time..It seems adaquate..

Each panel will effectively heat a 10x12 room (120 sq ft). We have one in our bedroom and it works great! And they are very energy efficient.

I have the 12000 btu unit in a 700 sq ft cabin and it keeps up until the outside temp gets below 15 degrees and it still puts out a fair amount of heat down to 5. I would think it shouldn't have any trouble in the space you are putting it in but it might be wise to keep a back-up just in case.

In a poorly insulated older home, it's way more than adequate for a 15 x 15 room when outside temperature is in the 30s or even lower. In a room that is twice that size, it's just not enough at these temperatures. A space heater is a necessity. Overall, in my situation after exactly one year of use, GOSH am I pleased!!

As I'm sure you're aware, 1200W will heat a room above the tolerance of about anything but cactus. A relatively tiny space such as tent will require MASSIVE air moving equipment and likely the tent you choose will not have any provision for such air movement. I would strongly recommend you research the lumen/sq ft requirement of whatever you're growing. I'm currently generating about 10,000 lumens. I have 5 fans (2 to ram air in, 3 to extract) and I'm still getting a 12 degree (F) rise over the temp outside the tent. Take care and have a fire extinguisher present.

Absolutely not... It didn't even heat my master bedroom which was 18 x 12. Hope this helps.:-)

VERY poor insulation is only one factor in understanding room "heat loss" so it is difficult to answer your question specifically. Any heater would be used to compensate for this "heat loss" and provide "enough heat". Given the size of the room, I would think you will see some limited improvement in comfort but it would be difficult for this OR any 1500W heater to sustain a high level of heat comfort IF you have significant heat loss.

Well it heats up my small bedroom of about 120SF... Might not put out enough heat for an uninsulated garage that size.

20x20 is what I have been using it for and it can get two hot. I think it would heat a large bedroom effectively. It's a great heater. The best space heater I have bought. It's quiet and the side separates so you can aim the heat in different areas.

it has 2 settings, 400 watts and 800 watts. It won't heat your 15x20 room...it's more of a spot heater at the 800 watt setting. If you want something that can easily heat up with those dimensions, I would go for a Living Pure heater that puts out 1500 watts and which radiates the heat in all directionsI don't even use the oscillating feature because then the heat dispersion is uneven

Heat pump cuts cost and electric strip kicks in when necessary! I have two units for 1200sqft.one unit for the big room of 600sqft it does excellent job but I do supplement with wood burning stove! The cost tips up for heat does excellent on AC side.

It heats up well, but I use it mostly for instant heat rather than heating up the room, since it is a fan forced type. I guess, if you're going to use it for the main heater, about 10X15 would be the maximum you can get, without other heating source.
