BTU Calculator

Converts electrical power and run time into an approximate energy amount in British thermal units.

How it works

Converts electrical power and run time into an approximate energy amount in British thermal units.

Formula and assumptions

Energy in BTU ≈ watts × hours × 3.412142. This is an energy conversion, not an HVAC sizing recommendation.

Example

Use the sample values, calculate, and change one input at a time.

Frequently asked questions
