How many square feet can this unit heat?

I use this as a supplemental heat in my elderly mother's room. I was pleased to note that it heats up the rest of my home as well. I am pleased with how well the heat radiates out of her room and distributes throughout the rest of my home.

While I can't say exactly, it kept living/dining/kitchen area, hall and bath in our condo warm in western PA. Guessing that was about 500 square feet. I really liked this heater a lot. Have since moved and no longer have it but will be getting another one.

I believe the manual says up to 1000 square feet. We use ours in our basement, which is roughly 600 square feet with block walls and cement floors, and it will make it comfortable on days we don't want to run the gas furnace or the wood burner.

Mine does a decent job heating a finished basement with 19 by 24 feet. I am quite happy with it. My insulation is probably not the best though either.

This unit, like all infrared heaters, are only intended to be supplimental heat. That being said, i have been able to heat the whole 2nd floor of my cape. Its a large cape, so we're talking roughly 900sqft. Just make sure you consider where you run the unit in relation to the thermostat.

The unit is small and I don't know how many square feet is it supposed to cover. I use it in my bedroom which is 16 X 16, but some dust still accumulates. I mostly wanted it for smoke from the fires we have in the summer.

not very many. if it is the only heat, less than 100 sq-ft. ( mine is only 500 watts.) If it is supplemental heat, maybe then more than 100.

Spark,We have been very happy with this unit. We have 3 now. It should heat room that size quite easily. Set the heater to the temperature you want, don't just set it on high because it will continue to heat the room, and it will make your room too hot...

I used this heater in a living room of 400 sqft. There are 3 heaters total in that area. Works 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 use this to heat 350 square feet in Durham, NC. The winters are mild and the unit is most always on the low setting. I would buy the next size up and you can keep it on low instead of using this one with little to no spare capacity. I hope this helps.

You definetly will not hear the unit running. It sits very low to the floor. It's a bit long, maybe 48 inches but you should see those specs in the description. It puts out some very warm and soothing heat. You will not be disappointed in this unit, and no one will know why you are the warmest person in the building.

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.

Oh, I forgot to mention that it might take a couple of house to heat up a room of 1000 square feet. So, the rating is way off. It should be some where like 400 square feet instead of 1000 like they advertised it.

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.

Not sure of sq footage but it heats 2 large rooms with high ceilings aprox 15 ft x 15 ft each. Absolutely love it!

It only heats a very small space like a 150 sq ft room. I would not use it for sole source heat. We use ours to supplement a natural gas furnace and move it around to areas we are in during the day. It has a built in thermostat which turns the unit off and on. I would not recommend having it running if you are not present.
