A BTU is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water 1 degree Fahrenheit (F) at or near 39.2 degrees F and 1 atmosphere of pressure.
Electric heaters are rated in KW, not BTU's
3413 BTU's = 1 KW-hr.

How many BTUs will a 10-kilowatt heater produce if operated for 1 hour?
A 10-kilowatt heater produces 34,120 BTUs per hour.
How many BTUs in a 6 ft baseboard heater?
The number of BTUs in a 6 ft baseboard heater would depend on the model and specifications of the heater. On average, a 6 ft baseboard heater can generate around 1,000-1,500 BTUs per linear foot, so a 6 ft baseboard heater may produce approximately 6,000-9,000 BTUs.
What are the BTUs for the Lasko Electric Ceramic 1500 watt Tower Heater with remote control number 751320?
1500 watts is equivalent to 5118 BTU per hour. 1500 watt-hours is equivalent to 5118 BTU.
How many Btus must be removed from one pound of water at 200f fro it to end up as ice at 30f?
To determine the BTUs that must be removed from one pound of water at 200°F to convert it to ice at 30°F, we need to account for several steps: cooling the water from 200°F to 32°F (the freezing point), the phase change from water to ice at 32°F, and then cooling the ice from 32°F to 30°F. Cooling the water from 200°F to 32°F requires about 168 BTUs (1 BTU cools 1 pound of water by 1°F). Freezing the water at 32°F requires the removal of 80 BTUs (latent heat of fusion). Cooling the ice from 32°F to 30°F requires an additional 2 BTUs. In total, approximately 250 BTUs must be removed (168 + 80 + 2 = 250 BTUs).
How many amps will a 5200 btu heater pull?
To determine the amperage draw of a 5200 BTU heater, you can use the formula: Amps = BTUs / (Voltage x Efficiency). For example, if the heater operates at 120 volts and has an efficiency of about 100%, it would pull approximately 43.3 amps (5200 BTU / 120 volts). However, many small heaters operate at lower voltages (like 120V), so it's essential to check the specific heater's specifications for accurate amperage.
How many BTUs does it take to raise the temperature in a 40 gallon water heater 60 degrees F?
To calculate the BTUs needed to raise the temperature of a 40-gallon water heater by 60 degrees Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: BTUs = gallons × temperature rise × 8.34. For a 40-gallon heater, it would be 40 gallons × 60°F × 8.34 BTU/gallon°F, resulting in approximately 20,016 BTUs. Therefore, it takes about 20,016 BTUs to achieve that temperature increase.
How many BTUs will a 10-kilowatt heater produce if operated for 1 hour?
A 10-kilowatt heater produces 34,120 BTUs per hour.

How can I determine how many BTUs I need for an air conditioner?
A small room is about 5,000 BTUs. Most people don't have a room that would require more than 10,000 BTUs.
How many btu per hour would be produced in a 12-kW electrical heater?
There are at least 5 different definitions for slightly different BTUs. One of them says that 1 kWh = 3412.14 BTUs. Let's use that one. 1 kWh = 3412.14 BTUs 12 kWh = 40,945.68 BTUs

How many btus to maintain a 350 gallon spa?
400 k BTU - But it depends on the gas line size feeding the heater; how long that run is etc. The larger heater will heat the water quicker thus cost for heating will be less ( than if you used a 250K BTU)
How do you save money with a gas water heater?
If you are asking how you can lower your gas bill with an existing gas water heater with a tank, there are two things that you can do that will save lots of money. One is to insulate the tank with standard closed bat insulation. Simply wrap the insulation around the tank to keep the heat from escaping through the metal skin. The other way is to turn the heater down so the water isn't kept as hot, but still plenty hot for regular usage. a 10° drop in temp will save a ton of money over a year. If there are long periods of time that you do not need hot water, you can also turn off the water heater until about 30 minutes before you need it. If you are asking how a gas water heater is less expensive to use that an electric heater, this depends on your location and the price of the utilities. However a well maintained gas heater is much more efficient at producing BTUs (british thermal units) than electricity. Given similar costs of gas and electricity the gas heater will cost much less than electric over time.
