Cost is negligible in our two person, two cat household. Of course we live in Florida.

I'm not sure anyone could answer this question in reality. My bill is different every month. Our weather varies every month. I could tell no difference. It doesn't not get as warm as a heating pad. You can put a timer if you only want to used it at night. It couldn't cost anymore than a night light I would say. It depends on how badly you want your cat to stay warm in extreme cold. It was worth whatever it cost to keep my cat from being without ANY warmth when it was 8degrees in his shed. He LOVES it. I have it over a year and I would order another one right now if I needed to. But it has worked great now almost through 2 winters. Hope this helps. I'm not sure anyone could answer this question in reality. My bill is different every month. Our weather varies every month.

I have noticed no jump in my power bill and it has been plugged in literally for a couple months now. To put your hand on the pad inside, I would compare it to a luke warm temperature, perfect kitty temperature but by no means a heat source to the room it is in. I am really happy with it.

As far as I can tell, no, it doesn't. However, my cat hasn't 'taken' too well to this and I feel very little heat when I press down on the bed. This is probably one of the type that doesn't heat until it has the weight of the cat on it.

I have mine on the outdoor porch and leave it on, and I haven't had any increase in electricity bill. My two outdoor cats love them ( I have 2 houses).

Thanks very much for the response. After entering my question, I figured out how to fake it myself with what I've got. I just put the cost of electricity at 1.00 per kWh. So now after any amount of time, instead of it telling me how much money I've used each month/year, etc... I just read how many kWh I've used each time period. Sometimes you have to be smarter than the $20 device, but it isn't always easy. :)

When I purchased it two years ago yes, but a very Limited amount, suggest strongly you purchase extra when you purchase the unit.

Never thought about it, but it is the only unit that runs full time on that particular bill. The rest is infrequent tool use. Did not notice a change in charges.

If you have to ask, then you cannot afford it. I suggest a Sun Dial, it uses on volts, watts or amps.

I think you can .. But you have to pay more .. And the fact that for a machine with such bad features .. not worth investing a dollar ..

No monthly fee. You need a controller unit as a base, then you add as many accessory devices you want.

no just a power outlet and phone. $20 plus taxes equalling about $29. a month

Not that I have seen so far. Service from the company has been excellent, and it's still working well for me. I do wish it could be a bit cheaper, but pricing seems to be at or below the competition, so I'm willing to pay for what works.

I can't tell you what year the furnace is but we can tell as owners of two of them that they are the best thing going. We run them from around 10pm to 7:00am and it probably costs us about $30. Month for the electricity.

Sorry, I am not sure because they charge the technology so often and I don't keep track .

in my city the electric cost is 9.5 cents per kelo watt hour.the unit is 1500 watts on high.so to run it on high it would coust me 14.25 cents per hour.on energy saving mode the unit is 950 watts and it would cost me 10 cents per hour.

Unfortunately, yes. I paid $21 a couple months ago which I thought was too high. A great idea, but not quite worth the high price.

I'm sorry I believe that they are charging that much for one unit on this item. A little overpriced obviously. Our price is for one unit.

Yes, and it's kinda of pricy. You should just take it to someone who knows how to do it because it came out expensive for me.

Did you answer your own question above? My answer: Yes. I love it. Get it. It works fine. The competitors would rather have you spend big bucks with them instead of saving.

I paid $59 plus shipping for a used one at Amazon. It does not work as well as I thought it should. No manual came with it, so I was at a disadvantage not knowing how it should operate. If you got what you wanted for the money, then maybe you didn't pay too much.
