BTU/hr to Watts Conversion

One BTU per hour equals 0.293071 watts. BTU (British Thermal Unit) is used mainly in the US for air conditioning, heating, and appliance ratings. The rest of the world uses watts.

Common conversions:

• 5,000 BTU/hr = 1,465 W
• 10,000 BTU/hr = 2,931 W
• 12,000 BTU/hr (1 ton) = 3,517 W
• 24,000 BTU/hr (2 ton) = 7,034 W

Air Conditioner BTU Ratings

Air conditioners are rated in BTU/hr in the US. A 12,000 BTU/hr unit = 1 ton of cooling = 3.517 kW. For a small room (150 sq ft), 5,000 BTU is typical. For a large room (500 sq ft), 12,000 BTU is needed. Knowing the watt equivalent helps plan electrical requirements.

Heating Systems

Furnaces and boilers are often rated in BTU/hr. A typical home furnace is 60,000–100,000 BTU/hr (17.6–29.3 kW). Converting to kW helps compare with electric heating systems and estimate electricity costs.
