1 kW is

  • 3413 BTU per hour.
  • 1.56 HP or 1100 W.

Explanation

One kilowatt of power equals approximately 3412 to 3413 British Thermal Units per hour, the standard heat-rate conversion between SI power and the imperial heat unit. The figure 4200 is closer to the joules in a kilocalorie and does not apply here.
