The 50 amp DH-50 does 5040 watts or 17197 btu
This assumes 120 volt power with no voltage drop.
You are right about the costs though.

I believe, Cheap Heat is about the same as the overpriced 120 volt electric heaters, so called produced by Amish Craftsman, to heat an entire home. The most heat they can supply is just over 5000 BTU. The same amount of heat a $39 Walmart space heater can supply. No where close to 30,000 BTU.
