I wanted find out if my small AC (5,250 BTU using 540 watts) could provide some heat to a small laundry room. (525 cu ft).
2 feet above the basement floor the air was about 61 degrees.

About 5 feet above the floor the air was about 66.

After about 20 minutes it went up to 70-72 inside the laundry room: (that 63.9 reading is off, it's really closer to 61).

I went inside and it was WARM in there! Up high, it was hot.

It also took some humidity out of the main basement air.
I think this proves that 540 Watts can space heat my bathroom, which it right above the laundry room..
With a larger BTU AC, I'm sure that a 5 degree gain would occur within a few minutes.
