look in a chemistry textbook and find the specific heat capacity of air. that is how much energy (in BTUs) it takes to raise the temperature of 1 litre of air by 1 degree. multiply that number by the volume of your room (in liters) then divide 27000 by that number.
in maths you want 27000/(volume of room*specific heat capacity of air)

Can you put an electric insert in a propane fireplace?
Not a good idea. People that designed your gas fireplace did not design it to have a separate heat source in there with the gas piping and controls.

How are the bricks beneath a fireplace heated by the flames?
At first, they may be heated by radiation- heat radiated by the fire. As the fire burns, and ashes build up, they will be heated by conduction- heat conducted (poorly) through the ash to the bricks.
What is the formula to calculate how many feet of electric baseboard heat?
The rule of thumb is, most spaces require 10 watts per square foot of space for homes built since the 1970's.
How many watts does it take to heat 200 square feet?
If you tell us the starting temperature and the finishing temperature and the specific heat of the material this 200 sq ft is made of then we'd have a chance of answering this one. But let's say that you're talking about a room (you didn't say you were but let's assume this), then a rule of thumb calculation, where the assumption is made that it takes 10 watts to heat a square foot of room, would show that you'd need 2,000 watts.
Will an electric fireplace reduce oil costs?
A 1500 watt Electric fireplace will heat 400 square feet to a comfortable temperature within 30 minutes. Thus you won't have to turn on the house heat or be able to keep it at a lower setting. A Electric Fireplace cost about $30 a month to run 5-6 hours a day.

Heat given off by fire in a fireplace is an example of what?
Heat cast forward out of a firepalce is called radiant heat and it the only usable heat that a fireplace can create The wasted heat that a fireplace creates is called combusion heat that rises up the chimney.
How much space will a 32000 btu stove heat?
It takes about 10,000 Btus to heat about 500 square feet. So, a 32,000 Btu stove can heat about 1600 square feet. Btu stands for British thermal unit, a unit of energy.
