That comes to 556,000 btu/h. btu/h is the U.S. standard for space heaters (furnaces). A typical U.S. home furnace is 80,000 to 100,000 btu/h. In cold climates you need ~40 btu/h per square foot. So 556,000 btu/h is enough for a 13,900 sq. ft. mansion (1291 m^2). Here is a 420,000 btu/h heater mounted on a cart: http://www.wayfair.com/Frost-Fighter-420-000-BTU-Oil-Filled-Utility-Propane-or-Natural-Gas-Space-Heater-IDF-XXX-OIL-FRF1019.html - Overall: 52.5" H x 37.5" W x 83" D - Overall Product Weight: 467 lbs (212 kg) - Jed
