Best Answer

BTU is a measure of energy, while a kilowatt is a measure of power. Energy is power times time.

Energy: measured in BTU or kilowatt-hours

Power: measured in BTU/hour or kilowatts.

100,000 BTU equals about 29 kWh so a 1 kW heater produces about 3400 BTU per hour.

How many btu's in 2 kilowatts?

The precise answer is that the question can't be answered. A BTU is an amount of energy, while a kilowatt is an energy rate, than is how much is being delivered in a specified amount of time. However, there is a great deal of sloppiness about BTUs. Very often when people say "1000 BTUs" they really mean "1000 BTUs per hour." Air conditioners are quoted that way. Assuming that's what's really wanted, the key factor is 3.412 BTU/W-hr. 2000 W * 3.412 BTU/W-hr = 6824 BTU/hr.
