Is the 13,000 BTU rating real or misleading? I've read a lot about false claims and since they don't have a EER ratings I remain skeptical.

Our unit typically freezes up before it can ever properly cool a room large enough that a 13,000 BTU unit should typically be able to handle

It seems to be real! Whenever we have used the A/C, we run it for a while and then turn it off because it got pretty cold. I hope that helps!

I am not sure how to measure the actual output the unit is producing so I cannot comment on whether the rating is accurate. I can only comment that thus far the unit has cooled a 10 X 10 bedroom very nicely for me. We are very happy with the Whynter unit so far.

I would believe this is 13000 BTU. I have the unit and it cools my 20' x20' room. I would not count on more than that for this unit.

When the unit fires up it can use up to 144,000 btu/ hr to "instantly get the wAfter up to heat, it then throttles back the burn to maintain the btu needed to maintain heating with the gpm thru put being. Used. This is what I understand . You should call the customer service technical dept and discuss with them.

I did not find any Energy Star rating on the unit when I received it nor during installation. If you're wondering if you can write it on your taxes...I would. If you're asking if it has 'low-e' gas, the answer is 'Who Cares'. Low-E is a gimmick at best. How long does it take a gas to escape any non-NASA enclosure?........minutes.

Cannot answer the BTU maximum, but have been using for one year with a 440,000 BTU natural gas pool heater with no problems.

I purchased the 3/8" 12 foot hose. It does not ID the BTU rating but it feeds my 30,000BTU heater and the heater works great. Hope this helps

Dear Valued Customer, The cooling Btu of this system is roughly 60,000 Btu's. The Btu's coincide with the size of the system. Residential systems do not exceed this size. Please keep in mind this system does not offer heating, this is an air conditioning system. Heating elements can be added as an accessory. Please contact our Sales Office for further assistance with your inquiry at 888.474.9966 during normal business hours EST. Sincerely, The AC Outlet Amazon Team

After the Derecho, I got two of these based on recommendations of the Amateur Radio community in WV and OH. Very clean power. And sips fuel if you manage your loads correctly. From the specs: - AC output:120V 2000W. (2.0 kVA) max. (16.6A), 1600W (1.6kVA) rated (13.3A) Thus, running is a Nominal 13.3 A. (But you would be surprised what you can run at half of that. You can take it and a Companion version and gang them together into a transfer switch. Or run separate extension cords. I got mine from http://www.mayberrys.com/Honda/generators/eu2000.aspx since they are out on Amazon. Recommended is a Kill-a-Watt meter which measures the actual loads on appliances. Surprising how efficient new items are. P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity available from Amazon. I have TVs, Computers and Networks on Battery backups. These only draw 2.x amps -- really. The Refrigerator in the house hits 2.8A if the compressor kicks on. Coffee pots and Microwaves are as rated. I looked at several carts and the Honda one is better for my back. Your mileage may vary. If using with an RV or portable setup, you might want to get the theft proof bracket in Honda accessories on Amazon. That and a good Master Lock and 6 ft of good chain at least slows people down. This is not the right place for this but I hope it has been useful. I love mine (all two of them) and test them monthly. That is the key also -- test with Sta-Bil-ed fuel and cycle it all every 6 months or so.

I would double check with Holland but according to their specifications the BH212 has a 4900 BTU capacity on HIGH. This regulator will supply 7000 BTU on LOW. Unless you are looking to increase the BTU's I would suggest going directly to Holland for the specified regulator.

I don't quite understand the question. The BTUs are given in the spec and are around 16,000. It does come with all the fittings for the intake and exhaust, but you will need a flexible gas hose available at Lowe's or Home Depot. I had some problems with the unit (it kept turning off), however my large unit (about 33,000 BTU has worked without a flaw since 2000. One thing to consider is maintenance. Rinnai will not sell you parts, and if you are some distance from a Rinnai certified repairman (in my case 130 miles) the cost of repair may exceed the cost of a new unit.

You don't get a warranty when you purchase from Amazon as I learned after I had it installed. However, so far have had no problem except had to have the gas meter replaced to handle the additional gas demand which was free from the local gas provider. Also, was actually shocked of it's (400,000 btu) cost to operate, let's just say very efficient and a fraction of what I had budgeted for and so far I would recommend.

I checked the back of mine and it doesn't list BTU's it just lists 1500 watts. But I can tell you that this has been the best heater I love it! I purchased it last year around this time. I use it to take the chill off In my master bedroom and can adjust it with no problem without getting out of bed. I'm very pleased and think you will be happy and it not u can always return it . I have had no issues or problems with this heater. Good luck !

They're eBay feedback rating is pretty good too. I believe it was 98% out of around 20,000 ratings. It really is strange that there is such a drastic difference between their reseller ratings vs. amazon

I got Samsung AQV12VBEX Vivace Ductless Heat Pump Outdoor Unit Only 12,000 BTU Samsung My units are already installed, work like a dream. Highly recommend , extremely quiet.

I believe it was rated at 300-350 somewhere in that range. Should be on the mfg website if you google it.I have used it up to 260# with no problem.

I am not going to say i have not seen a increase in the power bill, but it could be worst, also i was not aware it had oil inside it, actual thought these series of flat bars were the heating element, i agree it is silent as it does not have a fan, before i purchased it the review said 1,000sf and i have been using it in the downstairs living quarters and sits only feet from my bed, but i also have the furnace on at 74 degree, so its hard to pinpoint how much is the furnace and how much is the heater. If this is any help, i have closed the vents and turned the heater up to max and was a bit to warm..

OK. 9000 BTU is available only for 120 Volt power. 12000 BTU is available for both 120 ad 230 volts. All of these are very similar in size and structure. So the price differences between them are minimal. And they do not use plugs to receive power. They must be hard wired to your electrical panel (permanent installation). Hope now you are clear.

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.
