Hi rockhillmanor,
Yes, if they are resistance heaters, 1500 watts will put out an identical number of btu's. However, the name plates on the heaters are notoriously unreliable. I've had 1500 watt heaters that really did only 1200 watts, and units that were labeled 1500 that did 1597 watts.

In regards to 'space' heaters. Do all 1500 watt space heaters put out the same BTU's of heat? I don't think I ever saw BTU's rating on the outside box of space heaters.
