Let's start with the basic physics. It takes "x" amount of heat to make
the room comfortable. For example, you may need 5000 Btu per hour given the
outdoor temperature to maintain 68 degrees. If electric, that will be
1500 Watts per hour...

Ah, basic nonsense :-)

Thanks for the added information...

You are welcome. Here's mo power is measured in watts, not "Watts per hour."

Heat is energy and therefore is to be provided in terms of energy units, which
would be power x time.
