Is this unit really 18000 BTU or is this a typo?? A little surprising this big &amp; to be only 90lbs.... Also, you can't normally do that at only 13A.

I'm not sure how they came up with that number. It's more like 15000 btu. It does work good. I have a 22 foot travel trailer and we were in some 100+ temps and it kept us cool also on the flip side we live in the Colorado Rockys and on a few nights I've used it to heat and it will do the job well. I have it on a 20 amp circuit so it couldn't be drawing to much power. I did notice that when the compressor turns on it will automatically turn down the blower fan to reduce startup amperage. Then it will increase it after everything is stabilized. Hope this helps.

Thank you all for taking the time to help me out with this. i have decided to just belly up the extra money and but an actual burner. 110000 BTU and a wide base should suit me well. thanks again for all of your advice.

It's rated at 18000 btu, does a great job. I installed this unit in an uninsulated race trailer on a 20 amp circuit with no issue. It is easily ran by a 3000 watt generator. Great air flow

High/1500, Low/750. BTU: High/1500, Low/2561 I found these specs by googling the writing on the shipping box (luckily/lazily the heater that I ordered is still sitting inside of the box in by utility room).

Sorry to hear that they screwed up your order. Lets hope everything will be ok. They are good A/C's. I had purchased 2 12,000 units for rest of the house since they are 110/120 and not 240. The units were originally Air Temp made by Chrysler. I was trying to locate Air Temp but it kept coming up SPT. I guess they merged companies.

This unit is Energy Star certified, whereas the earlier one wasn't. The EPA has set limits on the amount of energy required to create 1 BTU of cooling. This unit meets those limits, the earlier one apparently didn't

I wish I knew, I don't know. Check the BTUs but the one I bought works great. Nice and warm in the in between seasons. For everyday use the home version is fine. Possibly the grade of metal is better?

BTU's are BTU's. It doesn't matter what the outside temperature is. I live in the desert in SoCal. It gets pretty cold in the winter at least to me. Freezing or less at times. The unit never left me wanting more than it could put out. Matter of fact I have never had to turn the hot water side more than a quarter of a turn to get more than enough hot water at any time.Unless you are a POWER user I can't see this not being able to do what you need it to do.

In the first place, that price is about 3 grand higher than I paid for my unit. I'm not sure what unit you have as far as your inside unit (air handler) is concerned. I'm assuming it is a 2.5 ton as well. I have had great success with my new unit and I don't see any problem with compatibility. Wishing you best success.

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

Yes, the physical size is the same. I did notice that your existing unit is 15,000 BTU's and the unit that you are looking at is 9,000 BTU's though.

Look to the model number on the side of the unit. If it has an 09 in the series of letters, it's a 9000 BTU model. If it has a 12, then it's a 12000 btu model.

It will not start a 13.5k BTU RV air conditioner due to the starting current power draw. It will start a 10K BTU window air conditioner without any hesitation and I have done that. It also has enough power to start the gas furnace blower in my house (80,000 BTU furnace) as a backup power source in the winter during power outages and I have tested that also.

no, this doesnt look like the 12,00 btu. it will be cooler if you put water.

It generates 35000 BTU on the highest setting. The setback from the wall is 9 inches. The website is castlestoves dot com.

R. Majewski asked about the BTU rating of this unit. I too would like to know the BTU rating before I buy, but in addition I would like to know what type of burner is installed. Is it cast iron or stainless steel. We live on a salt water canal in Florida and cast iron burners rust out rather quickly because of the high humidity.

If this is the correct answer, it states that Input rating is 9,000 BTU/Hr-Max.
