Frequently asked questions
What is the source unit in this conversion?
The source unit is the btu per hour (BTU/h). BTU per hour measures power as British thermal units transferred each hour, common for heating and cooling equipment.
What is the destination unit in this conversion?
The destination unit is the hectowatt (hW). A hectowatt is 100 watt units.
How do I convert btu per hour to hectowatts?
Multiply the btu per hour value by 0.002930710702 to get hectowatt. For example, 1000 BTU/h × 0.002930710702 = 2.93071 hW.
Is the btu per hour to hectowatts conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined by fixed numeric relationships to the watt, so the conversion factor used here, 0.002930710702, is exact.
Where is this conversion commonly used?
It is used when comparing power ratings expressed in btu per hour against equipment, engines, or specifications rated in hectowatts.
Can I convert hectowatts back to btu per hour?
Yes. Multiply the hectowatt value by 341.2141633 to get btu per hour.

About this conversion
This page converts btu per hour (BTU/h) into hectowatts (hW), two units used to describe power, the rate at which energy is transferred or work is done.
BTU per hour measures power as British thermal units transferred each hour, common for heating and cooling equipment.
A hectowatt is 100 watt units.
The formula is hW = BTU/h × 0.002930710702, derived from each unit's fixed relationship to the watt, the SI unit of power.
Because both units are defined by exact numeric relationships to the watt, this conversion is exact rather than approximate.
