Can anyone comment about the heating capabilities of this unit? Would it work for a main heating source for a 1200 sqft office?

The heating capabilities are good for my 500 s f game room, but 1200 might be too much area. Are the rooms well insulated? Would you have to leave the unit on overnight? How cold are we talking? I would say that it would WARM it, but not really HEAT it.

Probably not, it is a heat pump and unless you live where the temps never go below 40 degrees this would be a supplemental source at best.

I'm heating a 3 car insulated garage in Las Vegas. It keeps the garage at 72 degrees on the coldest days.

I use it to keep the area under my desk warm and it works just fine. But I don't know how well it would do for a whole room. If the room is small and you keep the door closed, it might be OK. It is a nice unit though and it is very quiet. I like the fact that it provides soft and steady heat, rather than a fan blowing air at me.

Same square footage as yours. This heater puts out only a mild heat that will dissipate quickly in bigger rooms, with possibly large or multiple windows. The smaller the space the better it works. It struggled to keep up a satisfactory temp in a space the size of ours. High ceilings probably didn't help my situation either. I placed mine in a bit smaller room and it works wonderfully.

We built a 12'x10' office in our warehouse and insulated it very well. The heat works great and the ac works good considering it can get up to 115 degrees here in the summer. It is a quality product. I think it should work for you but it very rarely gets below freezing here.

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.

No, not as a primary heat source. As a primary heat source you would need a heater that dissapates 2225 watts. A general rule of thumb is 10 watts per square foot for a room with minimal insulation. See the King Electric web site for complete info.

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

This should do well in a small room. The application we used it for was a LARGE room - 30x30 with 10 foot ceilings. It did OK. It kept the temp bearable - around 75 as opposed to 85. We bought this unit knowing that is would be small for the space we were cooling. Our space requires about a 25-30,000 cooling BTU. So this unit should facilitate a small room with no problem.

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.

I use heat level 10 and it's toasty . . . considering the unit goes from warm -1 to high - 18 I think you would be satisfied.

This will most definitely heat a room this size. It will simply shut down when the room is at temp so no worries about overkill. We are heating a 400 sq foot space easily.

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.

i heat 1200 sq ft with 2 of them, its an open design,but they work great even in very cold weather.

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.

I think it will be fine. We use this in a 10X 12 room with 10 ft ceilings & it has plenty of heat. I usually end up turning it down. Having a digital thermostat on it means the room should get to your desired temp & then turn off.

i will say that this is a great heater. I use it in conjunction with a 55,000 btu to heat my 3 floor house. it works just fine to heat my office and attached full bathroom. it will even raise the temperature of the adjacent living room a few degrees. will it heat your whole house? of course not. will it heat your entire first floor? perhaps on a 50 degree day. however it will heat just fine at least one to two connected rooms just fine even when the temperature gets to below 32.

I have 1200 sq feet and it does the job. I keep it in center of my home and while the living room and kitchen are nice and toasty the outer rooms are a bit cooler. That would be on the lowest setting. On that low setting a 20 lb tank will last me five days. Yes it has a blower but if the power goes down the unit still works vary well. I have not been sorry that I bought this heater. It has been a good preformer. I would add that I live in the mountains of Arizona and we see our fair share of snow and cold but in my home I am cozy and warm.
