How many Joules is that?
What is the Power, in Watts, of the above furnace?
80,000 BTU = 8.44e7 J
80,000 BTU/hour = 23400 watts
Yes, typically a single family home uses 75,000 - 125,000 btu/hr
at 40° North and above.
1 kW = 3,1412.14 btu/hr
80,000 btu/hr = 80,000btu/hr ÷ 3,1412.14 btu/kWh = 23.45kW = 23.45kJ/second
(This is the amount of electrical power that would be needed
to replace a gas or oil burning heater)
Boilers are more often rated in horsepower than kW.
1 boiler hp = 2,544 btu/hr
80,000 btu/hr = 31.45 boiler hp
