Electric Heating Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator estimates the electric heating power needed based on room area in square meters.
Purpose: It helps homeowners and professionals determine the appropriate electric heating capacity for a given room size.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The room area is multiplied by 100 Watts per square meter, which is a standard estimation for electric heating in well-insulated rooms.
Details: Proper heating estimation ensures comfortable room temperature, energy efficiency, and correct system sizing.
Tips: Simply enter the room area in square meters. The value must be > 0.
Q1: Why 100 Watts per square meter?
A: This is a standard estimation for well-insulated rooms in moderate climates. Adjustments may be needed for different conditions.
Q2: When would I need more than 100W/m²?
A: In poorly insulated rooms, very cold climates, or rooms with high ceilings, you might need 120-150W/m².
Q3: Does this include other heat sources?
A: No, this calculates only the electric heating requirement. Reduce the value if you have other heat sources.
Q4: How do I measure room area?
A: Multiply room length by width in meters. Include only the heated area.
Q5: Is this for continuous or peak heating?
A: This represents the peak heating capacity needed to maintain comfortable temperature in cold conditions.
