Calculating Your Heat Requirement

Once you have decided which style you would like for your home just follow these three simple steps. The following is a guide to help calculate an approximate heat output required for your room. If you require a specific heat output for a given room, we would recommend that you consult your local heating engineer to confirm the exact heat output requirements.

STEP 1

Calculate room volume (m3) Length x Width x Hight

STEP 2

Calculate required radiator(s) output. For BTU/HR: Room volume (m3) x 153
For Watts: Multiply BTU/HR by 0.293

STEP 3

Add or subtract correction factors.
For solid floor -10% For two outside wall +15%
For uninsulated cavity walls +10% For three outside walls +40%
For foam filled cavity walls -20% For northern aspects +10%
For upstairs bedrooms -25% For no loft insulation +15%
For double glazing -5% For high ceiling - 3m +20%

NOTE: These figures are for guidence only.

STEP 4

Select the radiator which best suits the size and estimated heat output for the room.
