Energy
Convert kilowatt-hour (kWh) to calorie (cal). Energy is the capacity to do work or transfer heat — the currency of every heat and material balance.
1 kWh = 860420.7 cal
To convert kilowatt-hour to calorie, multiply the kWh value by 860420.7. To go the other way, divide by 860420.7 (or multiply by 1.1622e-6).

Heat duties integrate to energy in kJ, MJ, or BTU; utilities are billed in kWh or MMBTU.
A calorie, a BTU, and a joule are all energy — keep the conversion factors handy when a spec mixes them.
