How Much Propane does a 30,000 btu Heater use?

The burn rate of propane is around 100,000 btu’s per hour, so if you plan on running your Mr. Heater 30,000 btu heater you’ll use around one third (1/3) of a gallon per hour of use.

EFFICIENCY

It heats up a room relatively fast, not quite as fast as some of the more commercial powerful gas heaters but faster than an electric heater does. Expect around 20 to 30 minutes for a 600 square foot space.

The heater burns at 99.9 percent efficiency, so no need to worry about wasted energy. A built in blower fan is included for extra heat circulation in the room and the spark ignition makes starting it a breeze (powered by the AA battery). The fan isn’t a necessity to use this unit, but it definitely helps with the heat distribution within the room.

WARRANTY

This particular model comes with a 2 year warranty, twice as long as the usual amount. This is a testament to its quality make and efficient nature.

Price wise it’s in the middle, but when taking into consideration it’s safety features and potential for garage use as well as around the house it is definitely worth it.

OVERALL

Overall this is a very good natural gas heater for the money. It is my preference in terms of gas burning heaters – it doesn’t have that gas burning smell which is a major plus for me. Being able to use it in any room of the house is a real benefit in those cold winter months. If you remember the blackout in the wintertime a few years ago you’ll understand why having an efficient natural gas heater that’s usable in the house is extremely important, even if it’s simply your backup heater.
