Well, the bigger problem here is that a watt is a measure of
power (engergy/time) and a BTU is a unit of energy. There is no
dimensionless conversion factor between the two.

Alright, I am sorry I missed that. It should read:

Error: you MULTIPLY 3.413 to go from watts to BTU/hr, not divide. It's be more like 154,000,000 BTU/hr, /12000 or 12,798 tons.

Sorry! Sheesh.
