Watts to BTUs per Hour (W to BTU/h) Converter

1 watt (W) = 3.41214 BTUs per hour (BTU/h). To convert watts to BTUs per hour, multiply by 3.41214: 25 W × 3.41214 = 85.3035 BTU/h.

1 W = 3.4121416328 BTU/h
Convert the other way: BTUs per Hour to Watts

Quick facts

How to convert watts to BTUs per hour

  1. Take the value in watts.
  2. Multiply it by 3.41214 (the number of BTUs per hour in one watt).
  3. Round the result to the precision you need.
BTU/h = W × 3.41214

Worked example: 25 W × 3.41214 = 85.3035 BTU/h.

To convert BTUs per hour back to watts, multiply by 0.293071, or divide by 3.41214.
