Huh?, thought that was pretty obvious from the OP - 33kW per day. Or
approx 1.4kW/hr, also what the OP stated. Together with a low-loss
distribution system to the water heaters that the OP stated, gives
1.4kw/hr (33kw/day) heating to the house.


The point being made was that the units were mixed - 1.4kW is the power
rating. He probably meant 33kWh (kilowatt-hours) per day, of course (1.4
x 24 isn't far off that).

The measurement of 1.4kW/hr is meaningless, as a watt is (simply) a
measure of power output, not total power - kilowatts *per hour* cannot
mean anything sensible here. Again, I suspect that you also mean
kilowatt-hours (kWh), in other words a certain number of kilowatts
sustained for a pewriod of an hour.

So there!

Agreed. Remind me to engage brain next time
