About BTU per Hour (BTU/h)
BTU per hour measures the heating or cooling capacity of HVAC systems in the United States. Home air conditioners are rated in BTU/h (a window unit might provide 8,000-12,000 BTU/h), and furnace output determines how quickly a building can be heated in cold weather.
About Horsepower (mechanical) (hp)
The mechanical horsepower equals approximately 745.7 watts and was defined by James Watt to compare steam engine output to draft horses. Car engines, outboard motors, and lawnmowers in North America are rated in horsepower. A typical family sedan produces 150-200 hp, while Formula 1 engines exceed 1,000 hp.
