Short background on the units used in this conversion.
The watt is the SI unit of power — one joule of energy transferred per second.
Watts rate light bulbs, appliance nameplates, solar panels, and electrical device consumption.
BTU per hour (IT) measures thermal power — one BTU of heat energy delivered each hour, about 0.293 watts.
BTU/h sizes US air conditioners, furnaces, and water heaters alongside ton-of-refrigeration ratings.
Btu/h = W × 3.4121416328W = Btu/h × 0.2930710702, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any power conversion starting from watt — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
