I'm replacing the radiator in the living room (previous owner fitted fancy bathroom radiators - they look good but barely heat the room)

I've put the room dimensions etc. into an online BTU calculator and it came out recommending 5500 BTU

I've found a radiator online in the size and style I want but it only puts out 5400 BTU... Is that close enough!? I'm not one for having it roasting hot for what it's worth

Thanks

Can't say that I've ever had any problem with being such a small amount under the calculator where perhaps wall space only allows a slightly smaller radiator than the size that I would have preferred.**


Not knowing which type of radiator you are looking at of course, a double panel radiator with two sets of fins can give you increased BTU's on the same area of wall as a single panel or double panel with one set of fins. Or a slightly taller rad of the same length will give out more BTU's.


*disclaimer*

Assuming of course that you have used the calculator correctly and of course ultimately its your own decision and responsibility.
