BTU/hour to Kilowatts Converter

BTU per hour (BTU/h) equals approximately 0.293 watts, the standard rating unit for air conditioners, heaters, and furnaces in North America. A typical window air conditioner rated at 10,000 BTU/h can cool a 400–500 square foot room, making this unit essential for HVAC system sizing. One BTU/h equals about 0.2931 watts.

The kilowatt (kW) equals 1,000 watts and is the standard unit for measuring the power output of engines, electric heaters, and industrial machinery. Electricity bills use kilowatt-hours (kW × hours), making the kilowatt the most familiar power unit for consumers. One kilowatt equals approximately 1.341 horsepower.
