What is a therm used for?

A therm is commonly used to measure natural gas energy for billing, specifying energy content in deliveries, and estimating heating requirements.

What does Btu (th) represent?

Btu (th) is the thermochemical British thermal unit representing the heat to raise one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit, often used in heating and cooling equipment ratings.

Can this conversion vary?

Yes, variations in BTU definitions and regional reference conditions can cause slight differences in the exact joule equivalents of therm and Btu (th).
