Size Your Heater!
Do you want or need to know which type of propane heater
is right for you? You should start by determining the following:
What is the cubic feet of the area you need to heat? To calculate the
area dimensions you multiply the length by width by height (Length x
Width x Height) to get the total of Cubic Feet.
What is the desired temperature increase you want to acheive with the
heater? To calculate use this fomula:
(Desired temperature (with Heater) - Area temperature (without heater))
= Desired Temperature Increase
Calculate the BTU's required to achieve desired temperature. Calculate
((Total Cubic Feet x .133) x Desired Temperature Increase) = BTU's
Required
The above calculations are estimates to measure your needs, however
building construction may also contribute to BTU requirements so you may
want to talk with a professional to help with your selection.
