BTUs and kilowatts measure different types of quantities. A BTU (British Thermal Unit) measures heat (energy), while a kilowatt (1000 watts) measures power (energy per unit time).

1 BTU equals 0.0002928 kilowatt-hour

1 BTU/minute equals 0.01757 kilowatt.

To convert a watt to BTUs, the factor is 1 kilowatt of power = 3412.1416 BTU/hr

3.412 BTUs equal a watt-hour.

1 kW = 3412.1416 BTU/hour with appropriate significant figures 3*103 BUT per hour

To convert BTUs to kilowatt-hours, you can use the following equation: 1 BTU = 0.00029307107 kilowatt-hours. Multiply the number of BTUs by this conversion factor to get the equivalent value in kilowatt-hours.

There are 3,413 BTU (British Thermal Units) per Kilowatt Hour, so if your appliance operated at a rate of 100,000 BTU per hour you would operating at a rate of 29.3 Kilowatts. You can go to www.erpud.com/comparison.htm to see a sheet that reflects energy cost comparisons. Hope this helped.

BTU is a measure of energy, while kW is a measure of power. But 100,000 BTU per hour is the same as 29 kW.
