What size room is ideal for this unit?

My unheated sun room is probably 10x12 and being unheated gets pretty cool during the winter if the patio door to the house is closed. The heater breaks the chill and keeps it pretty comfortable. Keep in mind that a 110 volt house outlet will only support 1500 watts heat and 1500 watts heat will produce but around 5000 btu's no matter what unit you buy. They are all the same amount of heat based on bti's if you check carefully. To get more btu's., one needs a 220 volt line. So, whether it is made by the Amish or someone else, 110 volts will only get you so much heat.

Well I have three of those heaters. I use them in rooms both quite large and small. I use them mostly as personal heaters wherever I happen to be.

700-800 sq. ft. Heats that size area very well on low. Can't turn higher cause it gets too warm in the room !

I setup my kit right on a corner of a room and it's using about a 6' X 6' space. Hope this helps.

the model I have is barely sufficient for a small room maybe 14 feet by 8 feet so i would recommend a more powerful unit unless space is very small.

I have this unit LS-1003HH and it's great for a living room/family room size. But it does not heat up a 1800 sqf unless it's the size of an entire one room size. My living room is about 500 sqf and it's OK but the heat does not transfer to the ajesent room.

Eric's measurements are correct. Remember to allow a bit in back for wire hookup. Great unit for a tight space.

I really think this model is designed for a small space where it works perfectly. I agree with the other two answers to your question and suggest a larger model for a larger space.

The room I installed the fan into was about that size. It's a good size fan for a 9' x12' room. For a room that size it's comfortable

I'm not sure about the room size. What I am sure about is the fact that the system develops wiring problems after a while. If I was you I would check out Consumer Reports magazine for a better alternative.

This is a small table top unit. The out put is not big enough for a large room unless you run it all the time. However one at each end of the room would work. It is very quiet and does look nice.

If it is a standard size gym, I would say about 5 or 6 should be good. We ordered one and used it in our back room, which is 16 x 19, and it was more than enough. Works great too! Can't beat the price.

This unit is underpowered for any reasonable size space -- when they say 1,000 ft sq, they mean 1,000 cubic ft or about a 12x10x8 room, on full power. If it is the only unit on the circuit, get it serviced.

In considering the size AC unit you need, the first thing to look at is the climatic region of the country in which you will use the system. If you are on the same latitude as Burlington NC our summer design is approx. 92 Deg. F. So it is considered middle of the road for the design of most units. We actually have a high humidity issue occasionally. The next thing to consider is the amount of radiant energy the room is exposed to, which you could call the solar(sun) exposure, first the total of perimeter walls in square footage and then the amount of glazing(window) square feet, as well as the R value rating of the windows. Next is the ceiling height, because with the mini-split units they are installed within 12 inches of the ceiling. To help you get a more practical overview. All these things will help you determine if you can stay with the basic manufacturers room size rating or have to get a little larger unit.

I really didn't need much space, I converted a room off my kitchen into a makeshift exercise room. The space, within the room, I used for JMBR was about 8ft x 8ft and it worked really well.

The base isn't big . How much space do you have ? Because you do need some wiggle room

I recommend a ported box. A slotted port is best. Probably 2.5 cubic feet of air space inside.

Manufacturer specs say 500 sq ft. We use it in a space that is actually two rooms open to each other, a little under 400 sq ft. It seems to do a good job.
