Understanding the Conversion

Watts (W) is a unit of power, and British Thermal Units per hour (BTU/hr) is a unit of thermal power. This conversion is often used when sizing air conditioning units to offset the heat generated by electrical equipment.

  • 1 Watt ≈ 3.412142 BTU/hr
  • 1 Kilowatt (kW) ≈ 3412.142 BTU/hr

Formula Used:

BTU/hr = Watts × 3.412142
