Heater Sizing Made Simple

Choosing the right heater size is critical to maximizing comfort, reducing energy waste, and ensuring your system performs as expected especially in Canada’s demanding climate. A heater that’s too small will struggle to warm the room, while an oversized unit may waste energy through frequent cycling and overshooting the target temperature.

Here’s how to get it right:

Start with square footage
Use this general rule:
- 10 watts per square foot for well-insulated rooms
- 12–15 watts per square foot for garages or poorly insulated areas
- Example: A 150 sq. ft. room × 10 watts = 1,500 watts required
Consider insulation levels
The better the insulation (higher R-value), the less wattage needed. Poor insulation? Add extra capacity.
Factor in ceiling height
Rooms with ceilings above 8 feet may need additional power. As a guide, multiply the room’s cubic feet by your chosen watts/sq. ft. value for more precision.
Choose the right voltage
King Electric offers heaters in 120V, 208V, and 240V.
- Replacing a heater? Match the existing voltage
- New install? A dedicated 240V circuit is ideal for high-efficiency heating
Know your heating zone
Canadian climates often require higher output.
- Milder zones: 7–9 watts/sq. ft.
- Colder zones (like most of Canada): 12–15 watts/sq. ft.
Avoid oversizing
Bigger isn't better. Oversized heaters can cause temperature swings and consume more energy without improving comfort.
