What is a therm (EC)?

A therm (EC) is a unit of energy used mainly in European contexts, defined as 100,000 British thermal units, roughly equal to 29.307 kilowatt-hours.

What does one watt-hour represent?

One watt-hour equals the energy produced or used by one watt of power sustained over one hour, equivalent to 3,600 joules.

Why convert therm (EC) to watt-hour?

Converting helps compare natural gas energy consumption to electrical energy, useful for energy management and billing.
