JudyThe watt is a unit of power. Power is the rate of energy consumption. There is, therefore, no such thing as 'watts per hour'. What you probably mean is how much energy, in kilowatt hours, does a baseboard heater use in an hour?
You can find this by multiplying the power rating in kilowatts by one hour. However, bear in mind, that the baseboard heater is regulated by a thermostat and, so, is not energised permanently, so you will be calculating the 'worst case' situation.

How much electricity does a 1500 watt portable heater use?
A 1500 watt portable heater uses 1.5 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity for every hour it is in operation. So, if you run the heater for 8 hours, it would consume 12 kWh of electricity.
What are the BTUs for the Lasko Electric Ceramic 1500 watt Tower Heater with remote control number 751320?
1500 watts is equivalent to 5118 BTU per hour. 1500 watt-hours is equivalent to 5118 BTU.
How much does it cost to operate a 1500 watt heater for one hour at 9.1 cents a kwh?
Operating a 1500 watt heater for one hour consumes 1.5 kWh (1500 watts / 1000). At a rate of 9.1 cents per kWh, the cost to operate the heater for one hour would be 13.65 cents (1.5 kWh * 9.1 cents).
What is the length of a 1500 watt baseboard heater?
The length of a 1500 watt baseboard heater can vary depending on the model and manufacturer. Typically, a 1500 watt baseboard heater can range from around 48 to 72 inches in length. It's best to check the specifications provided by the manufacturer for the specific heater you are interested in.
How many 12 volt batteries charged by a 600 watt wind turbine would it take to power a 1500 watt heater?
A 1500 watt heater is consuming 1500 watts/hour. If a 600 watt wind turbine can fully recharge a 12 volt battery in say 6 hours, then it would take around 5-6 fully charged 12 volt batteries to power the 1500 watt heater for one hour. However, this is a simplified calculation and there are many factors like battery efficiency and heater usage patterns that can affect the actual number of batteries needed.
