BTU and kWh are units of measurement used to quantify energy. They are often used in different contexts and regions, so let’s break down what each unit represents:
BTU (British Thermal Unit)
A BTU is a traditional unit of heat energy often used in the United States, especially in heating and cooling systems. One BTU is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit at a specific temperature. It’s commonly used to measure the heat output of furnaces, air conditioners, and other appliances.
kWh (Kilowatt-hour)
A kWh is a metric unit of electrical energy. It’s used to measure the amount of energy consumed or produced by an electrical device over a period of time. One kilowatt-hour is equal to 1,000 watt-hours. It’s commonly used for billing purposes by electric utilities to charge consumers for their electricity usage.
