Can you choose between running this heater at 750 watts or 1500 watts?

You can set it on low or high,incidentally all of the heaters we bought for the work place no longer work. Not a GOOD PRODUCT

The "low heat" setting limits the unit to a maximum of 750 watts and the "High heat" setting to 1500 watts. The unit has a thermostat that allows you to set the desired room temperature and regardless of which heat setting is selected it will alter the amount of heat being produced and fan speed to achieve the set desired temperature.

All heters are the same really. 1500 watts is 5000 BTUs and it doesn't matter much after that. 13x14 worked fine for me but it depends on house insulation, and outside temperature. It was also supplemental, as the centeral heater was holding the rest of the house at 63.

Not even close. I have 2 ceramic heaters which require 600 watts on low setting and a max of 1500 watts each. I believe all ceramic heaters are like this.

Do some research, but the recommendation fr a 50-75w is ridiculously low. The minimum in a 30g tank would be 100 watts if you're just looking at a few degrees above ambient temperature. If you want to maintain more than five degrees above, then you should go with a 150 watts. Although it is more expensive to do, some people with larger tanks start looking at two smaller heaters, so maybe a 100 on one side and a 50 on the other, or a pair of 100s, so that your tank holds a reasonable temp if one fails and the wider spread of heating can help things even out better.

It has 2 heat settings, High (1500 watts) and Low (750 watts). Draws 12.5 amps on high. Ionization switch is nice feature. Three year limited warranty.

Absolutely, however, 1500 watts is a lot for a small engine. I use a 1500 watt in my caterpillar loaders. Consider a lower wattage heater, unless you plan on needing it to heat up quickly. I use 400 watts in my smaller diesel engines, and they keep them toasty warm.

1500-watt heater increases surrounding temperature by up to 15° F; 5,000-BTU output.

I'm pretty sure it's a 750 watt heater and since it's a resistive load the AC power factor is 1. That translates to a little less than 7 amps at 120 Volts (US).

How did the two heaters work out? I'd imagine it to work well, depends on total square footage, yet Im not too sure how it will match up against two 1500 watt heaters.The thing I did like about this heater is that it doesn't dry out the air, and also has temp settings. If the area is a medium space, you should be fine.

it has 2 settings, 400 watts and 800 watts. It won't heat your 15x20 room...it's more of a spot heater at the 800 watt setting. If you want something that can easily heat up with those dimensions, I would go for a Living Pure heater that puts out 1500 watts and which radiates the heat in all directions I don't even use the oscillating feature because then the heat dispersion is uneven

I have a 225 gallon tank and I run two 150 watt one on each side and my temp. Stay. At 76

Informal rule is twice the maximum load in Watts (for surges when certain equipment starts up). So 500W is all you'd need.

I don't think a 1500w heater is powerful enough to heat 5 gal of water sufficiently to produce "steam". I use this for sous vide cooking and it has trouble keeping the water as high as 155F (in an unlidded pot), so I don't think it will work in your application. However, I could be wrong.

What wattage is the low heat? Does it pull less than 1500 watts? Thanks for your help!! :)

Multiply the wattage by 3.412 to convert watts to btu's. At 1500 watts, you get 5118 btu's. You would need a 2000 watt heater to get 7000 btu's.

Because it is a 1500 Watt heater, it puts out about 1500 Watts of heat. All the "quartz/infra-red/radiant" is a bunch of B.S. ALL 1500W heaters put out about 1500 Watts of heat - or around 5K btu's. Do you think 5k Btu's will heat 1,000 square feet? At what outdoor temperature? At what insulation level? How much infiltration? Face it people, a 1500W heater is a 1500W heater! Fans make make it seem warmer faster, but in reality, A 1500W HEATER PUTS OUT ABOUT 1500W! Certainly not MORE than 1500W's, ever!

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.
