measure the square footage of the room .count the walls that face the elements outside.the height of the ceiling .amount of windows and doors etc.
then go to your local dedicated pluming center (not diy store)the guy behind the counter will pull out a majical set of sliding chart thingys and within seconds he can tell you the btu,s you require. im sorry but theres no other way to do it.you,ll probably find that his rads. are just as cheap as the crappy diy store stuff.well worth the effort. dont for to get good taps as well .

Hot water? Steam? Baseboard electric? In wall electric? What? Some things can be done with hot water, like raising the temperature of the water or having the pump come on immediately on a call for heat.
