How to determine the required heating power: estimation online-calculator
When intending to choose electric
heating for an apartment, we wish to understand which device power will be
optimal. Which heaters to choose and what quantity of the devices will be required
– all these questions should be solved at the preparatory stage. The heating
equipment is designed to compensate for heat loss. So, your task is to find out
the scope of heat loss in the premises. Surely, the numbers will vary depending
on your conditions. A client can try to calculate the heating power on his own
by means of our calculator.
Heating by means of
convector heaters: calculation for different premises
The heating power must be
calculated in a variety of situations. The calculator is needed in order to
determine the required parameters:
· for an apartment:
- for a bathroom;
- for a children room;
- for a bedroom;
- for a living room;
·
for a private or country house;
· for a garage;
· for an office;
· for small
industrial premises;
· for a shop, nail
bar, small coffee shop, etc.
At the background
of all the possible similarities, for example, children rooms in an apartment
and in a private house, a freestanding garage or a garage connected with a
cottage house, the estimated indicators can differ significantly.
Ultimately, not
only your comfort level (how warm you will feel yourself) depends on the
accuracy of the indicator calculation, but your well-being as well: too many
devices will affect your electricity bill. Therefore, here, as everywhere, it
is important to find the golden mean.
Calculator
for heaters: how it works
Our calculator will assist you to
independently calculate the power of both individual devices for heating
premises (for example, a convector heater or a radiator) and general indicators
for the basic heating of a house or an apartment.
In order to calculate the heater power, it is
necessary to prepare and determine the important parameters of particular
premises. The electric heating can be calculated using a special formula. Two
parameters will be important here:
- premises area;
- its height.
While estimating the heating in
terms of area, the calculator uses another variable – the heat coefficient.
This is a value which indicator depends on the totality of the initial data:
- if it is a house or an
apartment;
- if there is outer
insulation;
- if there are any special
conditions involving extra heat loss:
- a ground
floor;
- the last
floor;
- a corner
apartment;
- an attic.
As you can see, the calculator
includes these three parameters in the heating estimation: the area is
multiplied by the height and by the coefficient. In such a way we can ensure
individual approach to each situation. Of course, this calculation results can
be considered indicative and cannot be used strictly as official data. However,
it is important to realize: the more accurate the entered parameters, the more
correct the final figure will be obtained.
Calculator
for heating estimation: a simple user instruction
For your convenience, we have
elaborated the most user-friendly calculator. What do you have to do? Just
follow the simple instructions – carefully look through all the questions and
check the boxes:
- heating type;
- housing type;
- premises size (you should
know the length, width and height of the premises);
- the presence/absence of
outer insulation;
- the presence/absence of
extra heat loss.
After that, it remains to click
the CALCULATE button. Done! You can see the result. Now it is clear how many
and what kind of heating devices you need for creating a comfortable indoor
climate in the premises.
