minus-squareMangoPenguinlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year ago How does it factor efficiency, since gas needs to be burned? Energy is energy regardless of what unit is used to show it. so 3412 BTUs always equals 1kWh. You do an efficiency calculation after, average gas blower is about 90% so you’d end up with 3070 BTUs or 0.9kWh of heat energy.
