If it's on one ticket then no problem.

If you've got separate itineraries then you're cutting it a bit fine.

You'll probably be coming in at Terminal 5 and departing from Terminal 2 never leaving the secure area. That said if your luggage is checked through you yourself will perhaps only have to clear a secondary security checkpoint for U.S. bound flights. I think 3 hours is OK unless you are catching a late afternoon flight (Heathrow is famous for backups and delayed landings/departures).
