How many BTU this unit has? Trying to determine if it is going to be warm enough for the northeast.

I would not depend on the fire pit giving off enough heat when windy or below 60 degrees; get an infrared overhead propane heater to supplement the unit's heat for comfort. It does give off heat, but mostly it is "eye candy". We are very satisfied with the build, design & function of the unit - a very good buy for the price.

This model dimplex at 2000 watts will give you 6824 btus. You ca. Heat a small bedroom 60sqft with 8ft ceilings with no problem. The insulation and the windows will effect this greatly if you have drafts.

Real World is a relative thing. You really need to calculate what you need. Take the lowest water temp you think you'll have and the desired output temp as well as flow rate of the appliances using the water to see if this unit can supply what you want. If yes then take the same numbers and figure out the propane usage. 1 Gal of propane is 91,000 BTU and a BTU is the amount of energy it takes to raise 1 pound of water 1 degree. So say you are going to use 20 gallons of hot water a day that is roughly 164 lbs of water. If your winter time water temp is 40 degrees and you want an outlet of 110 you need to raise 164 lbs of water 70 degrees each day. That is 18040 BTU which is .2 gallons. So at that rate you'd go though a barbecue grill tank in 25 days (assuming 5 gallons of propane in that tank). As you can see it's all about the specifics of your situation.

Thanks everyone, your feedback helps a lot. The temps get down to about 25 in the early morning but always warms up to about 40-45 by mid day in Central NC. Ooops didn't see the typo... the space is 14x40x10 (560 sf with 10 ft ceiling height) fully insulated ceiling walls and floors with a ceiling fan to aid in heating or cooling circulation.

Unfortunately it doesn't ask you when checking out and this is a packaged "kit" in that everything you need (except tools) comes with the kit. Each of the indoor head units does 12,000BTU maximum. I ordered the 2 head model and how it works is when one demands cooling, it can cool to a maximum of 12K BTU. Note this is an inverter model so in practice it may not use the full 12kBTU. With 2 heads on the 18KBTU outdoor unit both heads can only cool at 9KBTU maximum. The Pioneer people are helpful so you may want to contact them to see what can be done.

It might bet the BTU capabilities. The more BTU's the bigger the unit. I bought mine last spring and I am 100% pleased with it. I am cooling about 600 square feet on the third floor of a house that temperatures reach close to 100 degrees with no A/C and this unit kept things nice and comfortable. I can definitely recommend it. I am not sure about the weight but when I installed it in the window it sure felt like it weighted more than 40 lbs!

I have a 500 sq ft room with a 12000 btu unit and it does great heating and cooling. Maybe a 10000 btu unit would be enough for you.

IF you find the spec sheet it will tell you the maximum BTU per appliance and the maximum total. As I recall, the max appliance is 90,000 BTU and the total was 200,000 BTU. I don't know why the single appliance limit was so much less than the total. Doesn't make sense. You can download the spec sheet (I didn't save the link).

I think you might need the next model up (with a W2 terminal) for your system: TH6220D: For up to 2 Heat/2 Cool systems

I have the same size garage, and the HD60ASO111 Hot Dog does a real good job of heating with no problems with it since I purchased it about a year ago as a replacement for what it had. I had a 75,000 BTU unit in it before and I can't tell any difference.

We don't know, but my husband LOVED it. The btu"s I think were on the box, which we don't have now. Nice unit!

Who knows ?: BTU per cubic feet of habitation. Minus loss of BTUs due to poor insulation opening doors, etc.Calculate the heat loss to temperature differential. How many BTUs are there in a 4 gallon tank of propane ? A fellow I knew claimed that he used one tank per month in Monterey, CA harbor for a floating 10 foot by 20 foot trailer barge on a cook top burner. But I don't think that that would apply to a Ice Fishing Shack in Minnesota. The REAL issue is: DO NOT bring a small tank into the house... BOOM.... In an open garage (well vented) a radiant space heater ($30.00) on a tank would do better as long as you stay put. Who knows ?: BTU per cubic feet of habitation.

The "heater" is not described in BTUs as the AC is. Other units I have been looking at do use BTUs for the heater. I would need to know how this heater works and it's effectivness in a 400 ft2 room

I use natural gas, and this model is 24,000 btu.Using the thermostat control helps regulate my usage. I use this as a secondary heating source.

This unit is a "straight cooling only" unit. NO heat. Put 12000 btu with electric heat in the search window. there are several. Or 12000 btu heat pump and see what you find.

Hello, recommend using 10.000 BTU. any questions you can feel free to call me at 860 324 6015 thank you

It is.I have a 30k btu heater in our camp. The camp is 20x24 with a loft. Works awesome, no issues, 2 co2 plus 2 smoke detectors in camp, no problems.
