BTU to kW Calculator — BTU/hr to Kilowatts
Convert BTU/hr to kilowatts, watts, and refrigeration tons — or kW back to BTU — for heat pumps, air conditioners, furnaces, and space heaters. This is the power conversion (heating and cooling output). Converting BTU energy into kilowatt-hours instead? Use the BTU to kWh converter below.
Power

- BTU/hr
- 36,000
- Kilowatts
- 10.55 kW
- Watts
- 10,551 W
- Refrigeration tons
- 3 tons
1 kW = 3,412 BTU/hr; 1 refrigeration ton = 12,000 BTU/hr. This converts units — to size a heat pump or AC for a room, use the heat pump sizing calculator below, which factors in square footage and climate.

Watts ↔ kWh
Convert watts to kilowatt-hours (or kWh to watts) by run time — turn an appliance's wattage into the energy it uses, the unit your utility bills.
Open converterMWh ↔ kWh
Convert megawatt-hours to kilowatt-hours and back — plus watt-hours and gigawatt-hours. 1 MWh = 1,000 kWh. Enter any energy unit to see the rest.
Open converterkWh ↔ MWh
Convert kilowatt-hours to megawatt-hours — MWh = kWh ÷ 1,000 — plus watt-hours and gigawatt-hours. For utility data, solar production, and grid-scale figures.
Open converterBTU ↔ kWh
Convert BTU to kWh and back — plus therms and MMBtu. Energy-unit conversion (1 kWh = 3,412 BTU) for comparing gas and electric energy use.
