energy and cost efficiency

Used in a closed up 10X10 room, on sometimes all day and night, cant say the PGE(energy bill) shot way up or could tell at all. We dont use it every day either. As needed.

As far as energy efficiency goes this oil-filled heater is the way to go. Just make sure you have the right size for your room. This one is great for a small bathroom.

This works for small spaces, like under a desk. I use it in my RV bathroom and it heats that up quite nicely. However, it's too small to heat a larger room. It has a dial where you can set it to whatever temperature you want and have it maintain that temperature. In my RV, I have it set for medium (about halfway around the dial) and RV Bathroom is quite toasty. Not sure how to answer for "cost efficiency" other than to say only use it in SMALL rooms.

works awesome,mine will come out in a couple weeks. It has a energy efficient button so it will ramp off and on to maintain temp. Its easy to install also.

I cannot say it is energy efficient ??? but keeps the den habitable to enjoy and can lower the main furnace (electric heat) so not entire heater has to run as often.

Hi Lisa, boiling water does take quite a bit of energy, but this distiller seems to be quite efficient. We make 2-3 gallons per day and I haven't noticed a recognizable increase in my electric bill. For me it is definitely worth it. I looked online and it stated that using the average kilowatt hour price for the USA a gallon costs about 24 to 28 cents.

Where I used mine....I didn't have an electric bill. But....the efficiency of these is lower than a standard window unit. You are using interior air to cool the condensor, then pumping that now hot air...outside. But if you're pumping air out, it has to come in from somewhere. That somewhere is outside hot air. I would only recommend a portable unit like this if it is your only and last choice. The unit itself works fine, just poor efficiency.

I'd like to know this also. My understanding is anything induction-charged isn't very energy efficient. Convenient and safe, yes, but not energy efficient.

Thanks Gourd! That was very helpful information!! And thanks Randy, as I haven't even thought about this! I am in FLorida and will look into what (if anything) Progress energy offers for rebates! It seems to be that the powers that be over there in CA are generally "greener" than us over here in Florida- but I can hope and find out! Thanks you two!

No. This just switches the gas on and off. If everything else is working (not leaking, lighting promptly, burning clean etc.) this won't affect efficiency.

We also had a single speed Pentair that was nine years old. The energy saving is immediate. My electric bill has been lowered by $100 a month since we installed the Hayward Max-Flo VS.

The Inverter efficiency is 97%. There are heat exchanger fins reject the 3% loss as heat.

I have not noticed any increase in my electric bill. The fan is used primarily in a bedroom on the medium setting. It works great!

This is the 2nd winter for me having this product. It is lightweight, slient and easy to move from room to room.It will keep rooms warm that are 12 x 10 or smaller. And, yes it is energy efficient. I am extremely happy with this item. Hope this helps in your decision making.

To get an approximation of your energy cost, multiply .9 (900 watts when cooling) times the cost of your electricity per KWH (kilowatthour) from your electric bill. Then multiply that product times the number of hours you expect to use it during the month. That should give you a good estimate.

Much more efficient than HPS, even to run two of these units to replace one 600W HPS only uses about 340W.Plus think about the energy costs you will save on cooling and ventilation, HPS is HOT, LEDs are at their worst warm.

I haven't got the bill yet. I plan to install more solar colectors to offset the cost. I have a 20K system now and SCE will not let me install more until I use more electricity!!

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.
