What is the total BTU output on this heater?
244162
The manual states "at 1500 watts, your heater will use approximately 5100 BTU." I wish I could be more helpful. I bought my heater at the END of last winter and have not yet used it, but hope to beat the high costs of electric heat this coming winter.

The "heater" is not described in BTUs as the AC is. Other units I have been looking at do use BTUs for the heater. I would need to know how this heater works and it's effectivness in a 400 ft2 room

John, I don't know what the btu is, I mean I know what btu is, but I don't know what it is on this unit. I can tell you that I purchased two of these, and it heats up to 1500 square feet, is very cost efficient, and I may purchase another one. It isn't an expense to purchase this, it is an investment.

Really depends on the space and insulation. At max output this heater produces 60,000 but/hour. You can figure out the heating arrangement here:http://www.calculator.net/btu-calculator.html I use it in a semi-insulated garage that is 1000 sq/ft and it brings it up from 25 to 60 in about 15 minutes on high.

With a one inch supplied connection stepped down at the burner to its 3/4" and a short amount of pipe with an appropriately sized meter it can do ~320,000 BTU with a clean powerful burn. Make sure to proved sufficient air underneath it. I have it run with less then 15' total pipe from the meter to the burner with the meter sized to provide >650,000 BTU. Gas is split between on demand water heater (200,000 BTU) and this burner.

Plugs into a normal 110 outlet...Sorry, don't know the BTU's or wattage. We use it on the aft deck of our boat for cold nights in the winter and it works great! It is mounted about 5' from the seating area and we keep warm....it does not work that well if there is a lot of wind though!!

200 btu is 3/4 in piping, 250 btu up all require 1 and 1/2 in piping with 3/4 in at the heater. Anything less will not fill has line fast enough. You may get away with 1" but says 1 1/4". I just ran it from outside the house to save re piping

About 735 Watts (6.2 Amps)(Most heaters are rated for 750watts on Low, I got the above figure by borrowing my boss's Kill-A-Watt meter)

165,000 BTU for this unit. Im not sure where brian is getting his info but you need to know the unit BTU output to figure out the pipe size and so on. Were you able to hook your unit up? If so what size tank did you use? How long does the tank last?

The burner won't put out a specified number of BTUs. There are many factors: size of gas line, length of gas line, # of bends in line, pressure. A ROUGH estimate is between. 110K-150K BTU. hope that helps.

Usually the BTU rating refers to the "heat" that a stove or similar heating device is capable of producing. As Rudy stated, there is an input rating of 7650 BTU per hour. However, this is NOT a heater. It is a cooking appliance. It uses butane which cooks "hotter" than propane.

I no longer have the info that came with the heater, but as I recall the wattage was something like 750 and 1500. The lower setting works just fine for me.

4600 BTU 250 sqft heating area, I'm assuming this is with everything set a maximum

120. It's a one season heater, though. I bought two and they both crapped out after little use.

Actually...I hooked it up to my home natural gas supply. I do not know.However, yes, it is a large heater. I have a 2550 square ft two story home. I got this to supplement during our particularly snarky winters here in Michigan.It keeps us warm and toasty! Also helps reduce the need for the main furnace use, which is 150000 btu's.I noticed a significant reduction in my heating bills.The heater works well, with no issues.I am in my second season with it.Quite happy.

Yes. I can only get mine to run on the high setting. Not sure what the BTU output is ? It starts out wide open then tapers off maybe to the low setting ?It will not function in any other setting. Thinking about tossing it before something bad happens.I also had to move the safety shutoff probe closer to the heat grid to get it to work at all.
