We have this heater installed in a 1450 square foot cabin at 8500 feet that gets winter snow. It works great! Its installed in the living room. No problem heating and the frost cycle works great when you leave for a couple of days or more. Buy it .it is terrific and very reliable! We have a second one in the add on room that is over 400 square feet. Together they keep the cabin warm all winter long

We have this heater installed in an open area of our home that is 2 levels (a drop of 2 steps to the lower level) and approx 30 x 40 with an open beamed ceiling. An open hall leads off upper area and there are open doors to other rooms. It takes the chill off the entire 1500 sq foot house, is not very effective in the back 3 rooms of the house, but keeps the upper area where it is installed (30 x 20) very comfortable. I definitely would go bigger if you want it to heat your entire house, but it's great for smaller areas. It is economic to run. We are very happy with it.

we love this heater - it is our second. the specifications can be found online thru the rinnai website. Ours heats 2-3 rooms very quickly and easily.

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 mainly use it in my living room/tv/dining room, about 25x30. It is sort of one large room with half walls. It heats the entire area well.

That depends on how many degrees you need to warm the air and the insulation and leakage present in the room. Conservatively speaking it should handle about 120 sq. ft. Where Michael gets the 800 sq. ft I have no idea because that's not at all realistic, not aligned with other 1500W heaters which produce an identical amount of heat.

We're currently heating an area about 25 X 30 with only partial walls due to the structure. We have an open ceiling and a storage area beside the room of approx. the same size. It keeps the training area comfortable. I would be comfortable saying it can handle 1200 square feet without a problem. It might cover more if the room was totally enclosed.

It will cool up to a 400sq. ft. room, which is not at all very big. This unit is horrible and do not make the mistake of buying it. It simply does not cool.

Per the manual 3 feet of clearance around the top in all directions is required. I would recommend more however since this unit has nearly 50,000btu so it can run HOT! You can warm a 10' x 10' area with just one unit.

Hi Matthew, Happy to help. This unit covers approximately 4000 sq ft. of space depending on the existing air quality of the space. I hope this helps and please let us know if we can possibly help with anything else :).

Not sure on BTU's but it is rated to heat a 1800 square foot room. We have it in a 400 square foot room and it keeps it pretty toasty. The look of the fire is pretty cool too.

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.

For a space of 60 sq ft....I doubt it'll have an immediate warmth impact....You may feel warmth after a few hours of use...If your looking for a high output portable heater...Allow me to suggest "The Big Heater Buddy" ...It'll put out btween 4000-9000 Btu's... Check Cabelas website...The deal with refurbished units....Good Luck.

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 heater works great. The room we have it in is about 300 square feet. It heats that room nicely and then some.

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.

Yes it would heat a 700 sq ft room. I have used ours at the end of a hall way approx 50 feet away from our main heater which is a Monitor oil stove and sits in the living room. I have never checked to see how much less electricity is used in our home but will say, we must lower the heat settings in the living room. We are very satisfied with the lifesmart 1500. Keep in mind that it will take a little time to heat the air in the room but I think its great.

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.

I don't think the unit will heat 1,000 sq ft very well. We use two of these heaters to heat 512 sq ft / 8' tall and it takes about 45 minutes. We are in the panhandle of Florida so we don't see extreme cold tempratures.
