A good size home of about 1500 sq ft would need about 80,000 btu to heat it effectively on a very cold day..the area you live in and how well the place you are heating is insulated will determine how effective 5118 btu will heat any given area...So 5118 btu heater would most likely heat a 100 sq ft room as long as it is closed off and is insulated good. if you figure 80,000 btu will heat a home of 1500 sq ft and the heat will not have to run contuinously..it would take 53 btu to heat 1 sq ft of space...with this in mind you will see that your heat will only run maybe 10 to 15 minutes per hour depending on the outside temperature...the colder it is the more it will run...the warmer it is the less it will run..
1500 watts is equivalent to 5118 BTU per hour. 1500 watt-hours is equivalent to 5118 BTU.

It takes about 10,000 Btus to heat about 500 square feet. So, a 32,000 Btu stove can heat about 1600 square feet. Btu stands for British thermal unit, a unit of energy.

You cannot use square feet to determine how much heat is required or vice versa. A Manual J heat load calculation must be performed to determine the total heat loss of any given space.
Square feet has nothing to do with how much an X BTU heater can heat, heat is calculated by determining how much heat LOSS there is to make up for. AC is the exact opposite, it's size is determined by how much heat GAIN there is. In general, a 120,000 BTU boiler can heat an average well insulated 2 story house, no problem. There are many programs that calculate heat loss/gain but since there are people who do it for a living, try asking one.
