In terms of square footage and assuming good insulation, how much air conditioned space can be handled on top of appliances with this model?

That is difficult to say without knowing what appliances you are running etc. A generator such as this is capable of running a medium sized house all by itself. On mine I did not set it up to run the air conditioning. It is my backup generator. It also doesn't power my spa or woodworking shop. It is hooked up to run my heating ( we are on propane though so not a large draw) refrigerators, freezer, some lights, the pump house for water, a tv, and a few other things. We live in Colorado at about 6500 ft elevation so air conditioning isn't a big deal to us. If you know the wattage of your appliances you can add them up to see what is left over. Then if you know the horsepower of your air conditioner system you can multiply that by 750 to get the watts used by that. For instance a 2 hp compressor would be 1500 watts plus a one hp fan for another 750 watts would make a small central air unit pull about 2250 watts. Bear in mind starting current would be about three times that amount or about 6750 watts almost half of the generator's output. Bear in mind that ovens, stoves etc can draw a lot but you don't have to put them all on at the same time. This frees up power for air conditioning. I hope this gave you some insight.

Yes with good insulation in the square footage allowed yes. Insulate your pipes as well. This heater blows good heat. I used it in my living room.

900 square feet and with a blower it would heat a larger space. Really do like it.

Dear Floyd,My house is approximately 1,800 sq.f.No problem. I haven't tried it outside yet.

This model is designed to be mounted indoors, that can be a home, shed or garage as long as it is not outside. Do pay attention to the clearances required for the unit to have enough fresh air tooperate.

We used it in our home last winter. We have about 1300 sq. Ft. I had no problem with keeping it at 50%. It worked really well.

I use this unit in attic space with little insulation which is roughly 300 sq ft. On very hot humid days it can bring temps in room to mid 70s.

It cools my medium sized bedroom extremely effectively, but not much beyond it due to door ways. I believe it would cool a 700 sq ft area well if there is good airflow between the rooms or a fan to push the cool air around.

I have a 500 sq ft room with a 12000 btu unit and it does great heating and cooling. Maybe a 10000 btu unit would be enough for you.

I don't understand your question. We are using it to cool a small room (about 100 to 150 sq.ft.) with a lot of computers & servers in it.It is doing a good job.

Yes it is 110 and it will cool that area - ours has worked really well in a similar size space.

Not sure on how large maximum (you'll probably want some online tool for that), but my room is about 13 x 16 x 9 ft and this unit does a solid job cooling it.

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

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!!

I doubt it. We have two and use one in the den aka family room about 160 sq. ft. and the other in the bedroom also about 140 - 160 sq. ft. It circulates the air giving a nice breeze which makes you feel cooler. But it is not like an air conditioner. Hope this helps.

So much of the ability to keep an area warm depends on the height, insulation, air leaks, and surface area exposed to external temperatures that you can't predict heating performance by square footage alone. Check the temperature of the air next to the heater. If it's cold, the heater is at fault, if it's hot you've got other problems.

This unit works best in one room applications because of how it throws air. It will cool a room up to 500 square feet depending on the climate where the unit is installed.
