Kilowatt Calculator
Enter in the Dimensions of your room to get the required amount of Kilowatts to heat the room. This kilowatt calculator will give you an estimated guide to the heat output
in kW needed for any given room in your home to achieve a comfortable of temperature of approximately 21 - 22o Celsius (based on 0o outside temperature).
As a general rule, 1kW of heat is required for every 14 cubic meters (494 cubic feet) of room space if the room is of average insulation values. For solid fuel, gas and oil stoves,
you should aim to purchase a stove which has an output of 2 - 3 kW higher (on average) than the room size requires as a none electric stove does not run at its maximum output
continuously compared to an electric heater.
To use the calculator, enter the rooms dimensions in the box below, use meters or feet.
