Is anyone seeing an obvious/significant reduction in their electricity bill with this fan?&gt;

I put this fan in several years ago. My upstairs bedrooms would get extremely hot in hot weather. Since putting in this fan, they don't get hot anymore. My air conditioner runs less too. Even though I haven't kept track of my utility bill, I would assume the fan has saved me money.

Using it daily on the low setting I don't see any impact on my electric bill. The comfort from the extra moisture and the added warmth of the air since it's more humid make up for the minor cost of operation.

I do not know if it is, but I do know that two of them have have barely increased my utility bill even though they are running 24 hours a day. More important, they are very effective. In the lowest setting they are barely noticeable, and I have no difficulty sleeping when they are set at the mid-point. I run them at the maximum setting only when no one is in the room.

I haven't determined yet just how much it saves my electric bill as I also have an electric hvac for heating. I will say it keeps my heat from kicking on about half as much.and it does heat a whole room. I'm not at all disappointed with it.

I've never noticed an increase in my electric bill from using mine(I run two at once)but I run air conditioners in the summer and edenpure heaters in the winter so the energy consumption of my dehydrators is probably minimal compared to those.

It runs continuously. I have a device that measures electricity costs and if the fan runs 100% (without the compressor turning on) I am showing only a cost of about $2-$3 per month. A lot of models seem to be this way; the claim is that it keeps the air circulating and makes the unit more efficient to run. If it prolongs the life of the device; it will be worth it in the end.

Yes... I've had mine since January this year and my Light Bill is usually lower or the same as it used to be prior to the electric heater coming in the picture. I actually have this and another bigger electric heater from a different brand. Both gorgeous when mounted on the wall I might add.

My apartment is 600 sq. ft. and I have the AC in the living room. It has somewhat of a cooling affect on the kitchen and dining area, but very little affect (if any) on the bedroom which is around the corner and down a little hall from the LR. I have a ceiling fan in there, and did manage to get thru last summer (my first in this apt.) without installing another AC in the BR. But it was my ceiling fan that made that possible.

I didn't have to purchase a special plug. Just plugged it into a house socket. I have had this about 2 months now and have not seen an increase in my electric bill. Well, I really can't tell if there was an increase in my electric bill because of the dehumidifier, the company is raising the cost on their own. They say because of an extremely cold winter, government regulations, etc... they come up with really good excuses.

Either they have changed the specifications, or your unit is defective. The fan on my unit only comes on when I've had it under heavy load for awhile, then shuts off awhile after the load is reduced.

Heck yes! I have already noticed a large reduction in energy. We have a smart meter to I can look at how much energy I used the day before.

Mine works great. You must have already tried adjusting the thermostat on the small electrical box that is attached to the fan. Actually my fan turns on at the right time, but fails to turn off soon enough for my taste. This is because the hysteresis is a bit much. I hope this helps, stay cool.

I have two of these heaters fans each in bathrooms and I have not noticed any significant changes in my electric bill. Of course they're only used on cold days. But again no real big change even during the winter months.

Yes and I use 60 watt LED light bulbs and my electric bill has proudly gone down. Mission accomplished!I have 2 of these fans! Yup I'm a true fan...lol

We love ours, since our bedroom is in the basement. If you use the timer it does shut down the fan and it sits in "wait" mode until the time you have it set to turn back on. You do need to be certain it is hooked up to a hose to drain continuously or this feature will not work. We use our for mostly heat in the winter and the a/c in the summer. But you do have the option of treating like a fan, although I'm not sure why you would want to...I believe a regular fan would e cheaper on your electric bill.

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

Started using heater 3 weeks ago; after checking my electric usage online, it seems there is minimal change to my electric consumption within the last month. I've used it continuously throughout the night during sleep and while at home. There is a Economical setting that I use during the day. I haven't gotten my bill yet but I believe it does not make a substantial increase in the electric bill, which makes me very happy.
