Bitmain Antminer Z15
Quick answer
The Bitmain Antminer Z15 is a Equihash miner rated about 420 Ksol/s at roughly 1,510 W. An industrial-class unit — loud and power-hungry, best suited to a dedicated mining space, not living areas.
Professional-Grade Miner
This miner draws 1,510W and produces 75+ dB of noise — it is designed for dedicated mining environments, not living spaces. Professional-grade miners deliver the highest hashrate and revenue per unit but require proper infrastructure: a 240V circuit, adequate ventilation or exhaust ducting, and a space where noise is not a concern (garage, basement, warehouse, or outdoor enclosure).
For home miners looking for a quieter alternative, consider our Bitcoin Space Heater builds or explore open-source miners like the Bitaxe that are purpose-built for residential environments.
Heater-Class Miner
At 1,510W, this miner outputs approximately 5152 BTU/hr of heat — equivalent to a standard electric space heater. Every watt consumed by an ASIC miner is converted to heat with 100% efficiency, making it a space heater that also mines Bitcoin.
During heating season, miner heat can offset part of the heat a room would otherwise need from another electric heater. The economics depend on your electricity rate, room heat demand, BTC price, network difficulty, and noise constraints.

| Period | Revenue | Electricity Cost | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily | $12.11 | $2.54 | $9.57 |
| Weekly | $84.75 | $17.76 | $66.99 |
| Monthly | $363.21 | $76.10 | $287.11 |
| Yearly | $4,419.09 | $925.93 | $3,493.16 |
Heating offset estimates the value of heat replacing an electric space heater during heating season (~6 months/year in Canada). Actual savings depend on your heating setup and climate.
