Mr. Heater Air Conditioner - Manual

How Much Heat Do You Need?
Estimated Heating Area information included on
this guide assumes the area to be heated has a
10 ft ceiling.
If the area to be heated has a higher or lower
ceiling, calculate the amount of BTU’s required
by using the following method:
1. Measure the space’s dimensions to determine
cubic feet. (Length x Width x Height = Cubic Feet)
2.
Subtract the outside temperature from the
desired inside temperature to determine the
temperature rise.
3.
Use the chart on the right to match the size of
the heating area (cubic feet) with the desired
temperature rise to find the amount of BTU’s
required to heat your space.
