I have a low BTU window unit in my living area - 175 sq ft. How effective will the fan be for my hot adjacent bedroom - 110 sq ft joined by a hallway?

The Vornado is a powerful fan; however, it circulates air from the ceiling to the floor. As heat tends to rise, any hot air above your living space will just be circulated downward. Thus, I think you wouldn't get much (if any) benefit from trying to push semi-cooler air into another room. The fan itself may provide some relief -- just by its gust of air.

It is not "the quietest" fan but does a very good job circulating air around an area. I'm not sure about the hallway though...

Try placing the fan in the doorway of the room with the air conditioner in it. Blow air across the hall into the bedroom. Set the speed of the fan on a medium setting, it will be quieter but still move enough cooler air to help a little. Remember, blowing cooler air into dead hot space will not do much good unless you have circulation in the bedroom. Maybe opening a window an inch or two will give you enough flow. Keep in mind you won't make it cold enough to hang meat in there, but maybe reduce the temperature a few degrees.

I have no idea...other than the Vornados do an excellent job of circulating air and can be run for hours without the motor even getting warm at all.

This one works great for us but I would suggest for a room the size you mention I'd buy a bit bigger one, say the 18,000 BTU.

I would get the highest BTU you could. I am not an expert, but I have been quite happy with this unit. With fans on it is able to cool a 900 sq foot space (with fans and shading) on a fully exposed all window office. You should look into the part that supports it from the outside. That seems to help with the support. Hope this helps.

Yes. I installed the fan in an older wood double hung window, and had no issues. Most of the fan unit extends toward the inside.

Yes, it will cool a small bedroom. I have it in my very large studio (~750 square feet) with a sleeping loft (thus very high ceiling), and it works great.

That's a tough call with the supplied information. If the room is going to be used for a single purpose...how much light and would you be supplying the air from outside to the room than outside? Ultimately get as much fan as you can afford (think long term) and a GOOD speed controller. You can always turn it down but you can only go so fast. My fan came as a 440cfm. Don't forget ducting and band straps. I hope this helps

Barbara, I actually own the 12000 BTU model and would say that even this model would not be able to cool your four rooms. My unit cools our open living room rather well; but really can't do much beyond that. I do recommend the Haier brand, I just think you need something in the range of 28,000 BTU's or perhaps two 12,000 BTU models. Braeden M.

This model dimplex at 2000 watts will give you 6824 btus. You ca. Heat a small bedroom 60sqft with 8ft ceilings with no problem. The insulation and the windows will effect this greatly if you have drafts.

Yes, with some hesitation. I am in N. MI and I heat a room in an otherwise unheated building that is 12x24 with 10.5' ceilings. I only need to keep the room just above 65 to maintain the temperature of the equipment so it actually works quite well and we've already had nights down to 14 degrees this year. I assist the heater with a ceiling fan and the space is as well insulated as most homes but with a concrete floor. The thermostat feature is quite good at maintaining a consistent temperature. If you live in a place that is colder it might not work as well for you but if you're south then it should work well enough but might struggle to keep it at 75 or be on all the time as this size space really does require more BTUs. Download the manual, there is a chart in it to help you figure out your space to know how many BTUs you really need.

It works pretty well in a small room. It exchanges the air over a period of time. I don't think it works well when there is lots of humidity outside. This is not a high velocity fan!

you need a higher CFM exaust fan for your bathroom,preferably 600CFM should do the job.

If you could define "small" in square feet this would be a much easier question to answer. If you live in an apartment complex or have a small condo, yes it should cool a small bedroom (200-300sqft) easily.

I have this installed in my garage and it does a great job keeping it to temperature. However, I don't think the fan on this would do a good enough job of circulating to cover 5 rooms. I think you would have 1 really hot room and it would be drastically cooler the further away from the heater you get.

This unit doesn't have an accurate thermostat when used in an area with high ceilings, or inadequate insulation. Also depends on the area being heated. An inline electric thermostat would be a little better at controlling the temperature if placed in the right area opposite the heater. My recommendation would be to go at least 100 sq ft larger in Heater size. It seems that you are at max sq ft per BTU rating.

My apartment is 600 sq. ft. and I have the AC in the living room. It has somewhat of a cooling affect on the kitchen and dining area, but very little affect (if any) on the bedroom which is around the corner and down a little hall from the LR. I have a ceiling fan in there, and did manage to get thru last summer (my first in this apt.) without installing another AC in the BR. But it was my ceiling fan that made that possible.

This fan moves a lot of air. If you want good distribution of your. aC then across room is best

Assuming that is 25' x 25' x 10', I believe 1 unit would be challenged if you're in Northern Alberta - checking some weather info for Fort McMurray (a guess), I see 'average' lows of -10 F and minimum lows of -30 F over the last 20 years (and -58 F for the long-term). I set mine at 45 F for a 24' x 30' x10' (12' roof peak) metal building (not that well insulated) in Texas and with +8 F ambients, it was on 45 minutes/off 15. I did buy 2 but only put 1 in service, as that was acceptable to me. Also, there are recommended minimum clearances of 34" top and 68" below for these units; a 10' ceiling and a 12" unit height means you're almost at minimums (34" + 12" + 68" = 114" = 9'-6") to start. With the radiant heat flux off these units, the area directly below (or directly facing if you mount the unit at an angle, as I did) will get hot, so depending on what you're using the space for, there may be issues with localized 'hot spots'. Having a method to keep the air in the building/room well-distributed is also important (I used 2 ceiling fans) for several reason. The unit will consume O2 out of the air - about 1 cubic foot of O2 per minute. There is a recommended fresh air flow in of 160 CFM for this heater (high, IMO as a Chemical Engineer, but I'd want at least 50 CFM), so proper ventilation is also a concern if your room/building is 'tight'. You can better evaluate your specific application, but I believe one 40,000 BTU/Hr unit would be marginal in that size building (unless very well insulated) in the climate I think you're looking at.
