What size oil furnace is needed for 1200 square feet?

Need to install new oil furnace

  • don-ohio Dec 25, 2016

    Actually.the size of the furnace needed can vary if it's an older house, with poor insulation or windows. I would not install less than a 100 thousand BTU input if this is the case. don-ohio

75000 to 85000 btu Or British thermal pound.
Two units of measure are important in sizing an oil furnace. The first is the British Thermal Unit or BTU, which represents the energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit at normal atmospheric pressure. The input capacity of an oil furnace is often stated using this unit of measure. The second number is the fuel efficiency rating, which is expressed as a percentage. This represents the amount of energy that gets converted to heat, with higher numbers being better. To determine the energy output in BTUs per hour, multiply the input BTU by the efficiency rating. For example, a furnace with 100,000 BTU of input and an efficiency rating of 89 produces 89,000 BTUs of output. One with an efficiency rating of 80 and the same input amount, produces only 80,000 BTUs of output.

How many square foot of floor panels do I need to cover a room 12 foot x 6 inches x 13 feet in square eet?

To convert your 2 dimensions to square feet you have to multiply them together.
12.5 x 13 = 162.5 square feet.
You do not give the size of floor panels you want to use
To find out how many panels you neeed, divide 162.5 by the square footage of the panel
eg, 12" x 12" panels are (1x1) 1 square foot so you would need 162.5 of them.
24" x 24" panels are (2x2) 4 square foot so you would need 41panels

Michael has to paint a house whose size is 2,800 square feet. He used 5 gallons of paint to cover 1,750 square feet. How many more gallons of paint will he need to cover the remaining area?

If Michael used 5 gallons to cover 1750 square feet, we can calculate how much each gallon covers by taking 1750 and dividing it by 5, which is 350 square feet per gallon.

He has 2,800 square feet to paint, while he has now painted 1, 750 square feet. We have to calculate how much more he needs to paint by subtracting 1,750 from 2,800. I get 1050 square feet to still paint.

We divide this amount 1,050 and divide it by 350 square feet per gallon. I get 3, so we need 3 more gallons. If it was 3 point something, we would have to get an extra gallon to complete the job.

Good luck.

What size fresh air vent do I need in a boiler room with a gas boiler and gas hot water heater with about 220,000 btu combined

I suggest that you run a duct that is 3 inches larger than the furnace duct . and you should run it down close to the floor and aim it in the direction of the furnace. this will trap warm air above the vent and supply an adequate supply of air for combustion. also make sure you have insulated any pipes in the furnace room that carry water or steam you want heat where you live, not going up the chimney.

What is 9600 cubic ft converted to square ft?

Cubic foot is a unit of volume. Square foot is a unit of area. There is no direct conversion between them.

A 9600 cubic foot room with a ten-foot high ceiling is 960 square feet. If the roof is eight feet high, the area is 1200 square feet. If the roof is 12 feet high, the area is 800 square feet.

Ruud Furnace needs replacement

What part of the country?
How many square feet in the house?
Insulation?
Single pane glass?
Many factors should be considered by a professional.
However if the old unit worked OK, a new 80% 70,000 unit will most likeley replace a 24 year old 60-70% 75,000 unit.

How large a room does a 10,000 btu air conditioner cool

What size unit do I need for my room? Use the following chart to find the appropriate size air conditioner to use:

AREA TO BE COOLED / CAPACITY (BTU/HR)

100 to 150 square feet = 5,000

150 to 250 square feet = 6,000

250 to 300 square feet = 7,000

300 to 350 square feet = 8,000

350 to 400 square feet = 9,000

400 to 450 square feet = 10,000

450 to 550 square feet = 12,000

550 to 700 square feet = 14,000

700 to 1000 square feet = 18,000

If the room is heavily shaded, reduce needed capacity by 10%

If the room receives a lot of direct sun, increase needed capacity by 10%

Add 600 Btu/Hr for each person in the room if there are more than two people

If the unit is for a kitchen, increase the capacity by 4,000-6,000 Btu/Hr.
