Introducing Our kW Calculator: Find Out What Size Stove Your Room Needs

If you’re considering enjoying the excellent heat output, high efficiency and cosy aesthetics of a stove, you might be wondering exactly which size of stove you need to properly heat the dimensions of your room. Too small for the space and it will struggle to heat the room, but too large and you risk overheating it, or running it in ‘slumber mode’ the majority of the time, which is bad for the stove and the liner. 

Luckily, our kW calculator can help you estimate which heat output of stove you require based on the dimensions of your room –  so let’s find out how it works. 

Why you need to buy the right size stove

There are a wide array of stove styles and brands available to our buyers, and this is to ensure that any customer can enjoy the numerous benefits a stove brings, while still complementing their interior design. Each stove product we sell is assigned a heat output figure, measured in kW (kilowatts), which is a unit of measurement for power output. This number can assist you when choosing a suitable size of stove for the specific dimensions of a room. 

A stove that is too large for a space may result in overheating and a waste of power or fuel. On the other hand, if a stove is too small or compact for a space, it will need to be constantly overworked to heat up the space effectively, leading to potential damage and early replacement.

How to use our kW calculator

To help our customers choose the right stove with the appropriate heat output, we’ve designed a special kW calculator. All you need to do is input the dimensions of your room into the calculator, and it will calculate what kW output your ideal stove will require in order to effectively heat the specific size of your room.

Could anything else influence the calculations?

It should be noted that our kW calculator is a useful tool for estimation of the appropriate stove size for a particular size of room. 

However, it is only an estimation and should not be considered 100% accurate, as there may be other factors at play. This can include the layout and floor plan of your property, the size of windows, any unusual design features, and even how old the building is. As such, these calculated figures are only meant as guidance rather than intended to provide a completely accurate figure.
