is there a chart telling how many btu's needed to heat different size homes?

Answer 1

what you are looking for is a heat loss program. this will use the info you input. measurment of room (cubic feet) window size,
wall thicknes, type of insullation and give you a btu number that is rquired for that space. addl info needed n e w or south wall and type of floor basement or no . The more info you have the more accurate the number. Furnaces are rate input btu.less efficiency factor for amount of output.

Answer 2

Okay here's the deal 1 ton per roughly 600 square feet for heat pump or air conditioner, and roughly 40-45 BTU's per square foot heating as in a furnace. These figures depend on how well the house is insulated you need more heat/ac for less insulation in a house.

Answer 3

I'm not certain how BTU's relate to tonnage, but for central air, a rule to follow is one ton per 500 to 700 sq. ft.

I did just recently see AC units advertised and without knowing how much space you want to cool, I cannot give you an accurate answer, nor do I suspect, can anyone else,,,here.

Answer 4

Ok I searched on the internet for a chart but couldn't find one with the information you needed. I did however find some information about btu's and heating and how to calculate it. Try this site http://www.homeenergy.org/consumerinfo/benchmarking-energy-usage/index.html

Answer 5

Duct calculators are available, a six inch round pipe will push 110 cubic per minute, each ell ,or offset will reduce air flow. Most estimates are free. Depending on the brand each unit is designed for each space.

Answer 6

Call your local Home Depot or Lowes. If they don't have one, call your local power company. Good luck!

Answer 7

i would think so our boiler says what the btu's are on it.
