i have a very basic knowledge of this but if I have two seperate 1000W power supplys, one with a power factor of 1.0 and the other with .97, is it possible for both of their heat output 1000W (3413 BTU)?

how does power factor impact heat output?

Hello chrismooney
Welcome to the forum
The variation in power factor should not affect the KW output of the supplies. It will alter the upstream losses in the electrical power distribution system only.
Best regards,

You can try to find following parameters of your device:
Maximum power dissipation idling 3 W
Power loss nominal load max. 44 W
It was found for PHOENIX power supply 24V/20A
These parameters show "heat output".
