BTU
. BTUs or British Thermal Units is a measurement of heat (cooling) energy. More
technically, it is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water
one degree Fahrenheit. Some relate it to about the amount of heat that can be produced
by burning one wooden kitchen match. A typical home needs about 50,000 BTUs of
heat every hour to maintain it's desired temperature on a very cold day.
. Please take time to read how we can determine exactly what YOUR HEAT LOAD is.
Most gas furnaces are rated in input BTUs which is what you have to buy, but what you
actually get is output BTUs. The difference is what goes UP THE CHIMNEY. . Many old
furnaces waste about 50% while newer CONDENSING FURNACES have an AFUE of about
95, meaning they only waste about 5%.
. TON.
. Twelve thousand (12,000) BTUs equals one ton. This term is more often used when
talking about Air Conditioners, Refrigeration Systems, Heat Pumps, and Geothermal
systems.
. A typical home would need somewhere around 36,000 BTUs, or 3 TONs, of cooling per
hour on a very hot day. An old air conditioner with an EER of 8 would need about 45
cents worth of electricity to do this, where new one with an SEER of 16 could do it for 22.5
cents, and a Geothermal system could do it for 13.5 cents. You can see how this can
save a lot of money in a year.
