Determine the square footage of the area you need to heat. For example, if you need to heat a garage that’s 13 by 15 feet, you need to warm 195 square feet of space. To calculate the wattage necessary for 195 square feet, multiply that figure by 3.41 (you may need to round your answer up). The answer gives you the BTU conversion measurement, which you can use to select a heater. Contact your local United Rentals branch today for more help choosing the right heater for your space.
