Since it has a heat pump, I wanted to know how is the heating capacity as I will also need to heat the space as well as cool it in a 14x14x10 space.

I have the 12000 btu unit in a 700 sq ft cabin and it keeps up until the outside temp gets below 15 degrees and it still puts out a fair amount of heat down to 5. I would think it shouldn't have any trouble in the space you are putting it in but it might be wise to keep a back-up just in case.

Haven't need to heat yet but expect it to heat as well as it cools, as long as it doesn't get to cold. Which when it does get below 40*F another back up heat source will be needed. Hope this helps.

If you go to highseer.com and this item you can find full specs. The heat is typically about 500 btu more than the cooling. But keep in mind that the amount of heat decreases as the outside temperature falls. So you might need fall back separate electric/ gas heat for some occasions.

I only used the heater for one night to take the chill off, and it did, our unit, the 12000 btu, cooled a 2100 sq ft house on a low setting of 70 and the house was at 67 degrees. I think it will do it in that small space, I am very well insulated with spray foam and 10 in thick walls, we do not have a furnace, in Iowa/Nebraska!

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.

I have not needed to heat anything yet (I live in FL) but a 14 x 14 space should easily be heated by this unit.

it warms our large living/front room. it's about 14'X28'. any bigger, it prob wouldn't reach the whole room.

20x20 is what I have been using it for and it can get two hot. I think it would heat a large bedroom effectively. It's a great heater. The best space heater I have bought. It's quiet and the side separates so you can aim the heat in different areas.

Mine does a decent job heating a finished basement with 19 by 24 feet. I am quite happy with it. My insulation is probably not the best though either.

HiI used the u it for a medical spa room where a high power laser emits lots of heat energy. I have standard cooling but it was quite insufficient for my purpose. This suint has made it so much better for the room and my main unit dosent have to be revved up before and after the procedures. The room is about 16x16. So it shall be fine for your 15x15 room.

Has some heat for sure. I have a 3 zone system with 5 zones in zone 1, and 2 each in zones 2 and 3. Absolutely capable of driving all 3 but there are times when I walk in the wiring closet and its 5 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. The thing is a big box with a lot of heat. I recommend some type of exterior fan and definitely some room for the unit to breathe if no fan.

It takes it a while to heat a 14x14 room. I wish I had bought a larger unit.

I mainly use it in my living room/tv/dining room, about 25x30. It is sort of one large room with half walls. It heats the entire area well.

We use it in a room that is about 12' x 16'and it heats it almost to much on high. Our winters here only drop to about 30 degrees though. We have two. They heat great, but do use more energy that our regular heat pump. We use these when our heat pump goes out. (We are in AZ)

Actually some of the reviews I saw rated it for 1400 sq ft (which is the size of my house). It seems to work relatively well for that size of a building, but I also have an air purifier that circulates the air flow (which I move from room to room). It also has rollers so it can be moved from room to room if you desire.

It cooled my 20x25 ft bedroom with vaulted ceilings easily. It even cooled on adjacent bathroom 15x15 ft. I live in Hawaii and it gets around 90 degrees with high humidity in the summer. The thermostat is accurate and the unit is fairly quiet.

I got have it in a 12x12 n it heats up pretty good and fast and safe... I love it that u set it up at a temperature n if the temperature drops it activates on it's own it also comes w a remote control. Love it because i also have one in my girls room n work perfect safe it's not like those metal ones thats heats up n u touch it u can burn yourself not this one. I am in love w these heaters. And it heats up bigger rooms too.

It heats up well, but I use it mostly for instant heat rather than heating up the room, since it is a fan forced type. I guess, if you're going to use it for the main heater, about 10X15 would be the maximum you can get, without other heating source.

The case itself gets pretty hot when used over a long period of time, you want to keep it at least 3 feet away from anything flamable. In a space 14X24 we use one to keep the building around 60 degrees inside. The building is well isulated and this heater keeps it nice and warm even when it is really cold outside. Its pretty efficent and reliable once you get the thermostat set.

Well, it depends on many factors , eg room temperature, whether it is being used to produce supplementary heat etc . I am using the heater for a much room (13x 13 = 169 sf) so it works just OK. I have another colder room of the same dimension (13x13) and it struggles in that room. I can't tell if it can produce sufficient heat in a larger room (424 sf) especially on cold days.

That depends on how many degrees you need to warm the air and the insulation and leakage present in the room. Conservatively speaking it should handle about 120 sq. ft. Where Michael gets the 800 sq. ft I have no idea because that's not at all realistic, not aligned with other 1500W heaters which produce an identical amount of heat.

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.
