50,000 BTU HYDRONIC HOT WATER HANGING UNIT HEATER - SINGLE SPEED FAN

How large of a well insulated room would a  50k btu air heater heat up?

[Raider Bill]

I guess it would depend on a bunch of things including location and outside temps.

In central Ontario a modest older bungalow with a basement and 2 or 3 bedrooms would have an 80 K btu furnace and do well in -30 C.  I expect a 50 K unit heater would blister the paint on an uninsulated office if you left it on for an extended period of time.

A WELL insulated room, ball park figure 25btu's per square foot. 2000 sq.ft. with feet 8 foot ceiling. A garage, 50 btu's per sq ft.

Like this unit???



 

This is a 86,000 BTU unit. I heat my 30X60 foot basement easy.I had trouble with the upstairs circulator and I just turned the thermometer up to about 80 in the basement and kept us nice and warm. I had a variable speed control put on the fan. It's right under the kitchen and we did not want to hear the fan run. Variable speed works good.
