What are Therm and Watt-hour

A therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy. It is often used in the energy industry, particularly in natural gas and heating oil markets. One therm is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTU). It is typically used to measure the energy content of natural gas in the United States, where the energy value of natural gas is often reported in therms.

A watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one watt (1 W) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time. It represents a specific amount of electrical energy produced or consumed. One Wh equals 3,600 joules. This unit is commonly used by electricity companies for billing purposes, as it reflects the amount of energy a household or business consumes.

History of Therm and Watt-hour
