Watts: Power is the amount of work done in a specific amount of time. The unit used to express power is watts which is a function of both current and voltage.
Kilowatt Hours: watts divided by 1000. One kilowatt = 1000 watts.
Example, a window air conditioner that operates on 120 volts at 12 amps can be calculated as 120V * 12A = 1440 Watts.
