Work out the best radiator size for your space

Our BTU calculator helps you find the right size radiator based on your room’s dimensions, walls, and windows. The results, shown in both BTUs (British Thermal Unit) and watts, determine how much heat your radiator needs to produce to keep a room warm and comfortable. 

Getting it right matters. A radiator that’s too small won’t warm the space effectively, while an oversized one could waste energy. Enter your room details below, and we’ll do the calculations for you.

Heating a large room?

Larger spaces often need more than one radiator to distribute heat evenly and avoid cold spots. Splitting the heat output across multiple radiators can improve efficiency and reduce running costs. Need help? Talk to our team for personalised advice.

Calculate your heating requirements

Which room would you like to heat?
What are the dimensions of the room?

If you’re unsure or can’t measure your room, you can

How exposed is the room?
What window type do you have?

Yes, a radiator that’s too big for your room can lead to overheating and inefficient energy use. It may also take up valuable space and disrupt your room’s layout. The right radiator should match both the size of your space and your heating needs. Use our BTU calculator to find the ideal heat output for every room in your home.

A BTU (British Thermal Unit) measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a room. It helps you choose the right radiator by showing how much power you need to keep your space warm and comfortable. Use our BTU calculator to find the right heat output for your room’s size, layout, and insulation.

The size of your radiator depends on your room’s BTU requirements. Larger rooms need radiators with higher heat output, while smaller spaces need less. Our BTU calculator takes room size, insulation, and window type into account to recommend the best radiator for your space. If you’re unsure, our experts are here to help.

What is a BTU and why do I need it?

BTU (British Thermal Unit) measures how much heat a radiator gives out.

Check your BTU before buying. Too low means a chilly room. Too high, and you’ll waste energy.

What size radiator do I need for my room?

The right size radiator keeps your space warm and comfortable.

Many factors affect heating – room size, layout, insulation, and more. Find your best fit with our size guide.
