This heater is rated to heat up to a 1000 sq ft.
Yes, this heater works for your application.
Regarding the answer stating that this heater puts out 20,500 BTU: 1 watt = 3.41 BTU. If this puts out 20,500 BTU of heat then that accounts for only about (20,500 / 3.41) = 6,011 watts of power. The leaves (10,000 - 6,011) = 3,988 watts of power not going to heat, which equals (3,988 Watts / 240 Volts )= 16.6 Amps of current not going to heat. Where is all that current going. (fan, thermostat controller?) That's a heck of a lot of power for a fan or thermostat. Is the efficiency of this unit really only (6,011 / 10,000) = .60 or 60% ? OR is this reply really for the 6,000 watt Dr. Heater? (6,000 Watts x 3.41 BTU/Watt = 20,460 BTU) This 10,000 Watt heater should put out 34,000 BTU of heat minus the power it takes to run the fan and remote controlled thermostat multiplied by the efficiency of the heater (hopefully better than 60%).
This unit ranges from 50°-90°F.
The Amps and wire specifications are as follows, depending on what voltage your using. 10,000 Watts / 208 Volts = about 48.1 Amps ( = 50 Amp circuit breaker, double pole) 10,000 Watts / 220 Volts = about 45.5 Amps ( = 45 or 50 Amp circult breaker, double pole) 10,000 Watts / 240 Volts = about 41.7 Amps ( = 45 or 50 Amp circuit breaker, double pole) However, since this is hardwired and likely to be on more than intermittently (check local code) the circuit breaker and wire need to be rated for 25% more than the rated Wattage of the heater ( = 60 Amps at 208 Volts, 57 Amps at 220 Volts, 53 Amps at 240 Volts). Therefore, get a 60 Amp circuit breaker (more amps rather than fewer) which needs 6 gauge copper.
A 10000 watt heater running 240 volts is equivalent to 41.667 amps (10000/240). If the unit is running on 208 volts, it would be equivalent to 48.077 amps (10000/208). Both cases would require a 50 amp circuit and breaker for protection along with the appropriate wire size for 50 amp and resistance distance. Hope this helps
Once it reaches your set temperature the fan shuts off also.
No, you will need a 50 amps circuit breaker.
This can heat approximately 700 sq ft of space.
Yes, you can install an external thermostat to control this heater.
