How big of a room will this heat? I'm looking to heat a family room that is about 20x13'

I use it to keep my garage warm and even with the brutal winter that we've had so far, I've had no problem keeping comfortable. My intent was not to have the garage as warm as my house, but to keep it comfortable to work in. If you want this to heat a family room, then you'll have absolutely no problem doing it with this unit. I have the 3000 watt heater running on 240V. If you can, you might consider a smaller (1500W) unit with a supplementary baseboard heater. Likely a bit more economical to run. But to answer your question - yes, this unit will do a nice job for your family room. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure. We have ours in a bathroom, perhaps 9x9, and it takes a VERY short amount of time to heat it!

The room that this heater is installed in is approximately 24' x 15' and it does an excellent job. This heater is installed in a finished basement rec room where there is NO other heat. The rest of the house is heated with electric baseboard heaters. Also, very quiet and thermostat maintains a fairly even temperature. Hope this helps.

I use it in a three car garage(720 sq ft) to take the chill off when I'm working out there. It works out quite well for me. I like it and myself I think it would heat a 20x13 room.

Yes, I was told it could heat a locker room, so if the room is well insulated it should be fine.

We use ours to heat a 500 sq ft space and it does the job. Hope this helps.

The model is SG-TTW-12HC-26, it should heat up 400 ~ 700 sq.ft. However, it depends on various factors, like the insulation of the room, whether it is facing direct sunlight and so on.

My nursery is around 180 square feet give or take. The unit brings the temp up in about 20 minutes. I bet it could warm up a room twice this size without issue.

It WILL NOT heat up the whole room. Really small space. Don't even know what anyone would use it for.

I somewhat agree with ChrisMP. This unit can heat a large area (20X20) but not much more than that. I agree that the unit will be on all the time. It does not produce a lot of heat (hot air). It is best used to supplement your house heating system, used at a lower temp. I was using the Enerzen as a primary heater for my finished basement. On cold days (20's or below), this unit could not heat the room above 62 degrees. That's a little to cold for me. Now, on very cold days, I use the Enerzen to supplement a Vornado ATH1 that I purchased. The basement gets quite toasty. I hope this helps. I somewhat agree with ChrisMP.

I tried using mine in a 15 x 18 bedroom, and it did nothing unless I put it about 2 feet from the bed. The problem is that the heat is not strong enough to rise. So if you put it in on the floor, your feet will be warm but the rest of you won't. The bright light was also too distracting for me to sleep. I've only found that this heater warms a *very* small room, like a 6 x 4 guest bathroom, and only keeps a person warm if they sit level and within a 2-3 feet radius from the heater. Hope this helps. I say save your money and buy something else. I had better luck carrying a hot water bottle around and curling up in a blanket.

You should have no problem heating that size space it does great in my bedroom

We bought it to heat a 12x24 space with 13 ft ceilings and if we leave it in high to long it shuts off. It might heat better if the ceiling wasn't so high, but we do have it all very well insulated.

It will not heat a regular sized room. I use it in my living room near where I sit on sofa. It takes chill out of that space.I may be just fine for a small child's room. You set how hot you want it, it turns off when it reaches that heat level.

I use it to heat 2 small rooms and it does a good job. So I'd say a medium size room. It's the best heater I've used and tried many before stumbling across this one.

pretty large. The room we have it set up in is small 13 x 13. It takes up 1/4 of the room and probably needs spread out a bit. more

I am using it in a 10 x 12' or 12 x 12' room and it works great. Sometimes gets the room a little too warm, so I think it could probably heat a slightly larger room effectively as well.

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 directions I don't even use the oscillating feature because then the heat dispersion is uneven

Not very good for this type of application. It is better for a room that is well insulated. 16 X 23 may be too much area in a basement for this type of heater.

Well, like I said in my post that I have a 15x23 room and I'll tell you--I was very surprised that it heated it up as good as it did. Personally, I think this heater is the best one I've found so far. It gets pretty warm, also you can move the lever up or down to let the heat go where you want it to go. When I first get up in the mornings, I sit on the couch drinking my coffee and I put that heater in front of me and pull the lever down where the heat is going right on me. LOL--I'm not good with square feet. So what ever 15x23 is. Hope that helped.

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.

Rated for 1000 sq feet but I am not sure how warm it could keep a room of that size. I am using to heat an office area within a larger room and it works well.
