I would hate to offer you a response. I used this heater in a non heated building and it kept me warm as long as I was in close proximity. You may be better served if you asked the manufacturer.

This heater will heat that size room but the heater needs a large amount of oxygen. You should use this heater on a screen porch or out side to be safe. They are great heaters.

I heated 4 rooms in a 2200 square foot house during an ice storm with no problem. It got so warm that we had to shut the heater off periodically to keep it from getting too hot.

That''s a tough one. I use it to take the chill off my kitchen in the morning. It puts out pretty good heat. My kitchen is about 15'x15', with 10' ceiling. Every situation is different. I have a propane heater in my house, not forced air, so I just use it to supplement when and where needed. I live in a 100+ year old adobe, so my place is not typical.

1650 watts/120 volts= 13.75 amps. You need a 14 gauge or larger (12 gauge) wire and a 15 amp breaker for the heater.

1 heater is perfect cause it is a small tank. More then one would just crowd the space

Usually a bedroom or a closed off room... 12x12 which is what we use it for. It is a space heater for a reason. open space[2 ajoining rooms] won't cut it. it will run forever we also use a thermostat that we plug the unit into and we have it set at 69 degrees to kick on/off at night.

Assuming you live in the US and you are using a resistive heater (most likely), 120V (A) 15 Resistive Amps (copied from product description), P=IV, 120*15 = 1800. Seems good to go!

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.

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.

I have mine in a 12x20 garage. Does a great job. Is the heater blowing out heated air? If not you may want to have a electrician friend take a look.

This will most definitely heat a room this size. It will simply shut down when the room is at temp so no worries about overkill. We are heating a 400 sq foot space easily.

Probably too small for a heater. Would believe that ambient temp will suffice for normal room temps.

I used this heater in a living room of 400 sqft. There are 3 heaters total in that area. Works great!

If the area you are trying to heat is not a room open to other room (example, bedroom with door closed), the heater should heat between 750 sq. ft. and 900 sq. ft. If the room is open to other rooms, the heater cannot keep the entire area heated, but can keep area around the heater out to near the minimum (750 sq. ft) warm. Hope this answers your question.

I heat a 24 x 24 garage with 10' ceiling. Works great, but a bigger heater would be advised for a 30x40 building. Also depends on your location and what you have for heat loss.

I am heating a basement room 16x24 with a 10 ft ceiling and it does a great job. I use the economy setting which allows us to drop the heat by several degrees. Also you can set the on- off times so it doesn't have to waste heat during the night. My unit is the EX 17 (BTU) Natural Gas model.

Not very good for this type of application. It is better for a room that is well insulated. 16 X 23 may be too much area in a basement for this type of heater.

Each panel will effectively heat a 10x12 room (120 sq ft). We have one in our bedroom and it works great! And they are very energy efficient.
