WARMINGHOME
A warmer home — heating systems and heat pumps, insulation and efficiency, and the calculators that keep every room cozy.
From sizing a heat pump and estimating heating costs to planning insulation upgrades, comparing furnaces and boilers, and getting your home ready for winter, WarmingHome pairs free hands-on heating calculators with practical guides and a richly illustrated museum. Keep every room warm, comfortable, and efficient.
Home Heating Tools & Calculators
Free calculators for a warmer, more efficient home — for heat pumps and heating systems, insulation and weatherization, running costs, and winter home prep.
Heating BTU Calculator
Estimate the heating output a room needs in BTU/hr from its floor area and your local climate — a fast rule-of-thumb starting point for sizing a heater, stove, or heating system
Heat Loss Calculator
See how much heat escapes through a wall, roof, floor, or window from its area, U-value, and the inside-to-outside temperature difference — the way to spot where insulation pays off
Radiator Size Calculator
Work out the radiator output a room needs in BTU from its air volume and a per-cubic-foot factor for its insulation — pick a radiator that keeps the room warm without waste
Heating Cost Calculator
Estimate what a heater costs to run from its power, hours per day, number of days, and your energy rate — compare space heaters and plan what heating will cost this winter
Heat Pump Sizing Calculator
Convert your home's design heat loss into the heat-pump capacity you need, in kilowatts and refrigeration tons — so you size to the load instead of guessing and oversizing
Room Volume Calculator
Find a room's floor area and air volume from its length, width, and ceiling height — the cubic-foot figure you feed into radiator and heater sizing to warm the room properly
The Home Heating Museum
Wander an immersive museum of the ideas and inventions that keep our homes warm — the open hearth and fireplace alongside furnaces and boilers, the rise of central heating and radiators, radiant and underfloor heat, modern heat pumps and smart thermostats, and the insulation and materials that hold warmth in, each in its own gallery, so you can get to know the stories behind home heating: how each idea came to be, what makes it matter, and the part it plays in a comfortable, efficient home.
