Yes most electric space heaters put out 1,500 watts or 5,120 BTU's. This will heat a standard 150 square foot room. The reason for this is vary simple 120 volt outlets. The standard wall outlet is designed to run a TV, toaster, lamps, Etc.  Did you know that your electric hair drier puts out the same amount of heat as a portable space heater?

          110v, 115v & 120v all outlets put out one of these voltages. As the years have gone by the electric company has been increasing the voltage to your house. Why? I don't know why other than the higher the better. The greater power the greater the output. The only way you can tell what your voltage is by testing it with a volt meter. I wouldn't run out to buy this meter just to see if you have 115 or 119 Volts.

          If you buy 3 space heaters for one room will it heat a 450 square foot room? Yes it could in theory. If all 3 heaters are plugged into the same breaker it will never work. This is because of Amps or (currant flow) of electricity. Breakers are designed to protect your house from burning up the wires.

          To heat this 450 square foot room you will need to have each heater on its own 15 amp breaker. Seeing that most rooms have all the outlets connected to the same breaker this would take some time any a lot of money to fix.  A standard portable space heater is designed to heat a small room or to heat a corner of the room. An example is the under the desk heater, it's designed to heat you not the room.

Before you buy a space heater know your square footage. And don't forget to see how many other lamps, TV's and computers etc, etc, will be connected to your heater breaker. You could be working on your computer and the heater kicks on and you're in the dark. You just popped at breaker, before you flip the breaker back on start unplugging some electrical devices or you'll be flipping breakers a few seconds.

Is an electric cove heater better than an electric baseboard heater? Yes and no, better is in the eye of the home owner. Let's look at it by watts per linear inch, a 71" cove heater puts out 900 watts. That's about 90 square feet for room area. The same size electric baseboard heater puts out 1500 watts which will heat 150 square feet. For heating output per inch the electric baseboard has it won hands down. To match the cove to baseboard you need to look past the square foot coverage.

Both heaters are silent and they work great in a bedroom when sound is a big concern. Some people don't want a heater stuck under the drapes. So the go above the window to same floor space.

The cove heat the objects around it floor, chair, bed, etc. which will heat the air. The baseboard heats the air which heats the objects in the room. The cove heater can be used as a spot heater like over a bed or table. This way you only add a little more heat to the locations that need it. If I was looking to heat a work station I would pick the cover heater every time.

Outside cooling made easy, roll your cooling unit to your event or work station, fill it up with water and plug it in. In seconds you have an affordable spot cooler. The Scaefter Draft Blur has a 10 gallon water reservoir tank and includes a 25 foot outdoor-rated power cord with integrated GFCI. The Cool Draft Blue mist pump is rated for one gallon per minute output housed in a heavy-duty enclosure with power cut-off tip switch. Fan assembly includes a white powder-coated fan mounted to a yoke that is attached to the pump enclosure. The patented hub increases the air flow from the fan and releases mist in the "Sweet Spot" of the fans air stream. The mist hub has four .012 nozzles.

The cool air you will now enjoy when using this misting equipment is created through the process of evaporation. Heat is required to change water from a liquid to a gas or "water vapor". Our self-contained power misting equipment creates a "fog" by pumping water at a very low flow rate through small nozzles. When combined with the air added by a fan, this fog is rapidly evaporated. The heat required to evaporate the fog is extracted from the air causing a reduced air temperature. This cooler air is then distributed to people or animals creating a direct cooling effect.

Ideal for so many applications: Firefighters, Emergency Medical and Rescue Scenes, Construction and Job Sites, Sporting Events, Tent Rentals, many Commercial, Industrial, and Military uses; and all kinds of outdoor events. System is engineered to stand up to the moisture—and the hard use—that’s a natural part of any fire or emergency scene.  Schaefer CDB18C Cool Draft Blue Evaporating Swamp Coolers
