Default BTU versus tons

You, I like! Exactly correct!

(Use for an hour, throw it out, buy another one?)

Saying "Btu PER HOUR" instead of the "Btu" HVAC jargon would
remind us
that a Btu is a quantity of heat energy and a Btu per hour
is a measure
of power, ie a rate of energy flow. It would also avoid
rational but
confusing questions like "You say this is a 6000 Btu air
conditioner.
What do I do when the 6000 Btus run out? Buy another?" :-)
