Not sure, I use this at a room I rent when I travel for work and the electricity is included in my bill. Although they haven't said that it went up any. I have used it for two summers.

It depends on the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour (kw-hr) from your power company. A kw-hr is 1000 watts of electrical load for 1 hour. So, for each hour of operation, that heater uses 1.5 kw-hrs. Multiply that by the cost of the electricity per kw-hr and you'll know how much that heater costs to run each hour. Then multiply that by the number of hours it's operating in a month and you'll know the impact on your monthly bill. For example, if electricity costs 10 cents per kw-hr, the heater costs 15 cents an hour to operate. That's $3.60 per 24 hour day, $25.20 per 7 day week, and $108 for a 30-day month.

I never programmed the cost per KWh so I never worried about resetting when moving from device to device. I have had the unit for a couple months and first used it for a month on my 30 year old fridge. It used 100 KWh during that month. My tier 1 cost is $.13/KWh so I know it cost $13/mo to run. It is now on a freezer in my garage for a month. Its a lot newer and so far used a lot less that the fridge. Sorry I couldn't help you but I never bothered programming because of multiple tiers of electricity cost. Now I have gone solar so I am always in tier 1.

I am not sure of the question. As far as my electric bill it went up very little and it is on 24/7.

It uses about 500 watts per hour. Utility departments usually charge by 1000 watts per hour (kilowatts per hour.) so it would take about 2 hours for 1 kilowatt rates per kilowatt ranges from 7 cents to 12 cents depending on your total electrical usage. In my case LADWP charges 7 cents for the first 350kwh 8 cents for the next 700kwh and 12 cents for the next 1050 kwh. So to find out how much your bill will increase multiply how many hours per day it will be use x the number of days in your electric bill cycle usually is 60 days x .08 cents (which is average for most people unless you use a lot of electricity. But check your bill statement) and then divide it by 2 as it takes 2 hours for 1kilowatt

I have no clue. My electric bill from last summer was unchanged from the previous year, so I'm guessing not much (I live in a very small condo with pretty low electrical use, so I should notice any significant changes). I used the fan on it's lowest setting mostly all last summer, have not used it more than a day so far this year.

I ran this at night in the master bedroom of my TH (in northern Virginia where it gets quite humid and steamy in the summer) because I wasn't able to get cold air upstairs from the HVAC (bad ducts). It kept me nice and cool at night and I did not see any significant increase in my electric bill compared to when I wasn't using it. How much power does it use? I'm not sure.

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. :)

Sorry Alex, I don't know the answer although there was no significant increase in my electric bill.

I have not seen a jump in my electric bill. Trust me if ours went up by that much for our small fish pond I would give someone the fish or just not use it.

It of course depends on you usage, but the one I was using as a primary heat source in a 32' camper raised the bill around 125$ a month, in Wyoming through 2 winters. The one we now use in our garage raises the bill around 50$ a month and is used 2-3 hours a day on average.

Not sure... My friend who is an electrician help install it. He figure out it would cost me about .75 cents an hour to run it up here in Juneau Alaska ..... Think we are up to something like .12 cents a kilowatt hour. Hope that helps you.

If you used this heater 12 hours per day on the high setting (1500W), this is approximately what you'd have: 1500Wx12Hx30D=540,000W per month or 540Kw. For average utility electricity averaging about 10 cents per Kw that would give you monthly usage amount of around 54 dollars. We use this heater in conjunction with central heating and not as an addition. We are actually seeing our normal monthly bill drop.

I have only had the unit for 2 weeks so I haven't been through a complete billing cycle for my electric bill.I used to have an ozone machine many years ago but lost it. I never noticed a significant change in my electric bill when I used it.I believe the draw on your electricity will be quite miniscule.Ed

I estimate about $0.20/hour at my current electric cost of 0.13472634 kWt. That would be at the full 1500 kWt setting but I usually use the Low setting, which still kicks out a lot of heat.

This unit claims to use 10 watts. There are 8760 hours in a year. So this would use about 87.6 KWH (kilowatt hours). Assuming you pay about 12 cents / KWH, it works out to about $10.50 a year.
