Can it really heat 1800 square feet?

We're currently heating an area about 25 X 30 with only partial walls due to the structure. We have an open ceiling and a storage area beside the room of approx. the same size. It keeps the training area comfortable. I would be comfortable saying it can handle 1200 square feet without a problem. It might cover more if the room was totally enclosed.

I've had it this heater about 2 months now but it's getting it's true test now. It's in the teens and 20's at night this week in the north east and I have this heater in my finished basement 1200 sq ft with no heat zones. I have the temp set at 69 f. and it maintains without working hard. Great heater. As with any heat source, it is only as good as your insulation..... I would say yes for 1800 sq ft open area. I have doorways and a long hall and it heats fairly even to the other rooms.

No. I am supplementing 1200 sf and it does a decent job. I got it because it has higher output than the others

Life's art probably heats more like 400 sq ft. I think 800 is overly optimistic.

I multiplied the two numbers and 625 sq/ft is your footage. I think the heater would be suitable in that kind of space. Make sure you always shut it off outdoors because of some un burnt fumes that will be produced because it's still hot. Then bring it back indoors. It's a great heater! I have 2

It states it can heat up to 1500sq ft, but I found that not to be. It will work in a very small room after your normal heat system warms up the room then you can lower that and use the lifesmart. I was not satisfied and the heat bill went up also.

No it is not a 18000!! It is a 15000 BTU and it is doing a GREAT JOB!!!!! It runs on 110 volts and is not noisy. It doesn`t take long to cool a 45`bus from around 90 degrees to a pleasant 78 degrees. It does have a heat pump also--haven`t had to use it yet!!! I am happy with this one so far. Hope this helps........................parttime

I have no experience with the 1800, but the 1700 is up to 1300 watts and the 1800 is up to 1800 watts.

Because it is a 1500 Watt heater, it puts out about 1500 Watts of heat. All the "quartz/infra-red/radiant" is a bunch of B.S. ALL 1500W heaters put out about 1500 Watts of heat - or around 5K btu's. Do you think 5k Btu's will heat 1,000 square feet? At what outdoor temperature? At what insulation level? How much infiltration? Face it people, a 1500W heater is a 1500W heater! Fans make make it seem warmer faster, but in reality, A 1500W HEATER PUTS OUT ABOUT 1500W! Certainly not MORE than 1500W's, ever!

Probably not the fan is made so that it sits on top of a heating unit specificaly a wood stove. The fans housing conducts heat and converts that into energy to turn the fan. So you need direct heat of 175-200 degrees.

Most likely no, you'd probably need a larger heater that has the ability physically adjust the temperature.

No! My 2000w was making it heat up so much I had to change kits. Very good for 1800 and below though.

Yes this well heat it fine. It does our living room 22x11 fine in Pa. the only thing to concider on this model is. It does not have a thermistat. Just 600 watt and 1500. Worst is you can only use it at either. where my other one you can use both 600 or 900 or together for 1500 watt. My other unit made by the same company also has a thermistat which can be adjusted for any of the settings. think it is 30 dollars more than this one and it is worth th extra dollrs to get it.

I used Mr. Heater in an area approx. 400 square feet. After about 40 minutes I had to turn it way down. I would say this would heat an area at least twice that size, to a comfortable temp.

Regret that i cannot answer that question. We live in a 26,000 sq foot school house with no central heat. We use a woodburner in the kitchen and use our fabulous Dr. Infrared Heater in the library which is 1250 square foot. We operate it all day,everyday and I have it on one temperature and have not changed it so far because it keeps this room livable. Maybe you could call the manufacturer. I do not know what the situation is for other people using this product but know it has been so helpful to us with this really cold winter this year.

I have used it successfully on about 500 sq. ft. Might do more depending on how hot the weather.

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.

I'm also in Ohio, and I doubt several of these could heat 800 sq. ft. decently even if your wiring could handle the load. It would take some calculating, but I suspect the electrical cost would match the propane unless you are willing to tolerate cold indoor temperatures.

1800 is screamin' hot. Try a number 7 to start with, the raise in temp is instant if you need to go up. Watch the hot spot in the center, it is relentless.
