About These Units
BTU per Hour (BTU/h)
BTU per hour (BTU/h or BTUH) measures heating and cooling capacity. Air conditioners are rated in BTU/h (window unit: 5,000-12,000 BTU/h, central AC: 24,000-60,000 BTU/h). Furnaces range from 40,000-200,000 BTU/h. One BTU/h equals 0.293 watts.
Watt (W)
The watt (W) is the SI unit of power equal to one joule per second. Watts measure electrical power consumption (LED bulb: 10W, microwave: 1000W), light bulb brightness, and device power ratings. One kilowatt equals 1,000 watts. Named after inventor James Watt.
