How to convert watts to BTU per hour

Power is energy transferred per time: 1 W = 1 J/s. Mechanical, metric and electrical horsepower have different definitions; select the version stated on the equipment rating.

Formula
BTU/h = W ÷ 0.2930710702

One BTU per hour corresponds to 0.2930710702 watts, so divide by that figure. Displayed constants may be rounded; the converter uses the stored factor before rounding the result.

Example
34.1214 BTU/h ≈ 10 ÷ 0.2930710702
