What is Horsepower?
Horsepower (symbol: hp) is a unit of measurement of power, or the rate at which work is done.
It was originally coined by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with the power of draft horses. There are different variations, but the most common “mechanical horsepower” is approximately 745.7 watts.
Common Uses
Horsepower is the standard unit used to measure the peak power output of internal combustion engines in cars, motorcycles, and boats.
What is BTU/hour?
BTU per hour (symbol: BTU/h) is an imperial unit of power that measures heat output or removal over time.
One BTU/h is approximately equal to 0.293 watts.
Common Uses
This unit is almost universally used in the United States and the United Kingdom to specify the heating and cooling capacity of residential and commercial HVAC units, such as air conditioners and heaters.
