WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WATTS AND BTU?????
816503
A Watt is a measurement of power usage. A BTU is a british thermal unit - which is a measure of energy output. I don't believe they have a direct relationship that should be converted as they measure different things (power used vs. energy output). However, I do see in google an attempt to make a conversion from one to the other: 1W = 3.412 BTU/h So a 1500 W heater should put out about 5000 BTU per hour.

The power of electricity going into the heater is measured in Watts; the power of heat coming out of the heater is measured in BTU per hour. Since the heater produces nothing else but heat with electricity, the 1500 Watts going in produce 5118 BTU/hr. In more practical terms, my experience is that 2 feet away from the heater it's too hot for bare skin, 6 feet feels good.

Typically the BTU's are higher for a commercial heater. Potentially a few features are added to commercial heaters such as Better or larger base for stability and wheels for easier movement.

Multiply the wattage by 3.412 to convert watts to btu's. At 1500 watts, you get 5118 btu's. You would need a 2000 watt heater to get 7000 btu's.

I just read the online user manual, and watts is one of the readings you can get. See pages 9 & 10.http://www.p3international.com/manuals/p4460_manual.pdf

The big difference depands on your power supply. I installed a high watt power supply and I was getting unbelievable speed but if your power supply is low end. Then it doesn'tmatter because they will work the same.Been a while so forgot specs on power supply but just check what you need then seeif you have inalready .if so ...huge difference. Forthe better

Karen, I just looked mine over but found nothing referring to wattage. I do love mine though and will tell you that it is powerful.

The 240 Volt at 1500 Watts delivers 5120 BTU/HRThe 120 Volt at 1500 Watts delivers 5120 BTU/HR

Plugs into a normal 110 outlet...Sorry, don't know the BTU's or wattage. We use it on the aft deck of our boat for cold nights in the winter and it works great! It is mounted about 5' from the seating area and we keep warm....it does not work that well if there is a lot of wind though!!

The wattage is the amount of heat produced by the unit. So 2500 watts is low heat and 5000 watts is twice the heat produced at 2500 watts and it would be high heat. The higher the wattage, the more area you can heat. When the blower comes on you can hear it but it is not loud.

Dear Valued Customer, The cooling Btu of this system is roughly 60,000 Btu's. The Btu's coincide with the size of the system. Residential systems do not exceed this size. Please keep in mind this system does not offer heating, this is an air conditioning system. Heating elements can be added as an accessory.

I'm not well-versed on BTU's and watts comparison. I can, however, support the answer by Randolph Eck. I agree that this heater does not adequately or quickly heat 800 sq ft. It would be an okay heater for a small bedroom or bathroom, if you don't mind the beeping when you push the buttons. But, I would suggest buying a smaller space heater in the $30 to $60 range instead of this one, if price is a factor.

110V, but not sure of BTU. I will say, this product underperformed for my needs. The deminsions given are the complete size of the unit, I guess I was a little disappointed in the actual heating element size. We bought two units & tried to use them in an enclosed, covered patio at a restaurant about 20x40, and it wasn't near enough. Additionally, they pull a lot of wattage. We couldn't plug anything else into to the circuit without popping the breaker, so one unit per breaker for us, and nothing else, and we are talking about a commercial building.

No idea what you refer to. It is 12,000 btu's and plugs into a regular (standard) 120 volt outlet.

You could be referring to two 'settings' 1) Wattage: Approximately 1000~1100 watts. 2) Temperature: is adjustable through a rotary dial. You increase its setting until the unit turns on then the unit will try to hold that temperature setting. The unit then cycles to hold your temp setting.
