About this conversion
Power conversions help compare car engines in hp and kW, and air-con units rated in BTU/h against their electrical draw in watts.
For everyday use, three or four significant figures are usually enough. Engineering, science and trade documents may need more, and rounding should happen only at the end of a calculation.
Writing the units next to every number while you work is the simplest way to avoid mistakes. If the units do not cancel to leave the one you want, the calculation is set up wrongly.
