Will the unit heat a 200 square foot room?

In heat pump mode (above 45), it produces as much heat as 2 space heaters. So if you need 3+ space heaters on high to heat that room (like if you have bad insulation), no. If it only takes 1, this will work even faster/better.

My bonus room is 12 X 24 with a 7 foot high ceiling, knee walls and is insulated with R19. In heat mode it will run you out of there. I live in VA so winters are not that harsh but I have no problems in heat or cooling.

I'm sorry I did not get the chance to use the heater as of yet? It's only 2 months old.

Glen, Yes, I purchased this unit last year and it has worked well for the past year to heat and cool my man cave, which has no supplemental heat or cool air. It 286 SF (13'D X 22'W). It's a great unit and has worked well. My mancave is insulated to residential building code standards for the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Its worth the price!

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.

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.

Currently it is heating a 300 sq ft office. Its works really well. It can probably heat rooms that are larger.

Yes it will. Place it on the exterior (or coldest wall). Keep in mind though that it will increase your electrical bill quite a bit if you're trying to keep the room above 68 degrees or so for extended portion of the day.

I think that it is recommended for 700 sq ft. but I am able to heat 1000 sq. ft. easily by placing it in a central part of the house (wall mounted) and using ceiling fans reversed in the more distant rooms. I am using natural gas so not sure if that makes any difference or not but I highly recommend this heater.

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.

I don't feel that thee is enough difference between 200 watt and 300 watt heater unless the heater were to malfunction. The 300 would in my opinion be better if you live in a colder climate and kept your home heat at a lower temperature

Yes. Just FYI, we liked our unit so much, we ordered two more. It heats the immediate area around it though. When I tried one in my large bathroom, it looked cute but couldn't handle the space.

I am not sure..I AM trying to make it heat about 800 sq feet..we will see how sucessful it is when the temp gets sub zero for a length of time..It seems adaquate..

I don't really know. I'm using it as a supplement to an oil heater, so there's no way for me to know what percentage of the building is being heated by which method. However, the website says that it will heat 600 square feet. Personally, I don't put any stock in square feet numbers. How many square feet a heater will heat is entirely dependent on how insulated and how airtight the building is. Rather compare BTU numbers, as that's the only number that really means anything.

Regret that i cannot answer that question. We live in a 26,000 sq foot school house with no central heat. We use a woodburner in the kitchen and use our fabulous Dr. Infrared Heater in the library which is 1250 square foot. We operate it all day,everyday and I have it on one temperature and have not changed it so far because it keeps this room livable. Maybe you could call the manufacturer. I do not know what the situation is for other people using this product but know it has been so helpful to us with this really cold winter this year.

This Unit will heat a 800 ft2 space just fine. I do this professionally, and anyone who says you need a 2 ton is an armchair tech. Unless you live way north or have no insulation at all. And yes, the more centrally located the better.

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.

Yes as long as the thermostat is rated to handle the 2000 watts and is the only heater in the circuit on some models.

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

I'm not sure what size it is rated to heat but we are using it to heat my husband's workshop that is 200 sq. ft. It's perfect for that (almost overkill) so I think you could go much larger and be fine. We love these heaters - very efficient and quiet. Have used a larger model for the past 10 yrs to heat our 1200 sq. ft. house and have NEVER had any issues with it!

I think you will be surprised at how well this heater will work in that space. I use it in a room that is 15x20 and we have it on the lowest setting most of the time and stay at 68 degrees easily. It's a fabulous heater.
