Frequently Asked Questions
It estimates the heating capacity (in BTU/h) needed to heat your home efficiently based on volume, insulation, and climate.
The formula multiplies home volume (sq ft × ceiling height) by a climate factor, then divides by an insulation factor.
The ideal size matches your home's heat loss; oversizing causes inefficiency, undersizing fails to heat properly.
