What is a Kilowatt (kW)?
As you might have guessed from the above heading, kW is short for kilowatt, a measure of power made up of 1,000 watts. Watts measure energy in relation to time so a boiler with a maximum output of 24kW will produce 24,000 joules of energy per second when in operation; this energy will heat water for your home. The higher the kW rating of a boiler, the more radiators and taps it can supply at one time.
You’ll see this term when looking for a brand new boiler as it shows just how powerful the unit will be and, depending on the heating demands of your home, a different kilowatt may be more suitable.
What is a Kilowatt Hour (kWh)?
While a kW is a measurement of power, a kilowatt hour (kWh) measures just how much energy is being used. So, if you have a 24 kW boiler, it will require 24 kWh of energy for each hour that it’s working hard to heat your home, if it’s operating for 2 hours then it will be 48 kWh and so on.
You’ll most probably spot this on your energy bill as it’s used by suppliers to calculate the total cost. Should you receive a bill that’s higher than you expected, you can work out ways to use your appliances more efficiently.
What’s the Difference Between kW and kWh?
Put simply, the difference between a kilowatt and a kilowatt-hour is that a kW shows a unit of power, a kWh is a unit of energy:
kW – Power required
kWh – Energy needed to keep the power going
Understanding kW and kWh can help you to know how much energy each appliance in your home is using and become more conscious of the energy being used, which could help you to lower your energy bills.
What can 1 kWh Power?
Here are a few everyday scenarios, to help give you a better understanding of what 1 kWh will allow you to power in the home:
4 hours on a desktop computer
1 full load in the washing machine
Having a broadband router (7-10 watts) on for 5 days
A plasma TV (280-450 watts) on for 3 hours
