Where's that BTU calculator?

I remember a while ago someone posted a link to a website where you punch in the room size, insulation, expected temperature, etc. and it comes up with the heater rating you require.

2nd Home, there are plenty of BTU calculators online. Here is a simple one...

Here is another way to calculate it (from Northern Tool Co.)......

Which heater model is right for you? Start by determining the following about your heater needs:
How large is the area being heated in cubic feet? Calculate area dimensions (Length x Width x Height) = Total Cubic Feet


What is the desired temperature increase to be gained by the heater? Calculate (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 heating needs. Building construction contributes to BTU requirements also.
