does the heater increase your electric bill

Depends 1st on what climate you're in, then if you are using heater supplemently or as sole heat source. Either way, unless you use a generator, it's going to use the electricity according to your variables.

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.

Hi, I only turn it on during the winter season but never noticed a difference in my electric bill. I think because I only connected it to the outlet at night before going to sleep.

Would depend on type of current heating, if central electric could be a small saving as will keep area warm enough to keep central off. I moved to a rural area where electricity doubbled and gas is cheaper and electric raised my cost even with it reducing the amount of gas operation. Do not believe the usage claims are accurate unless you are in a low cost electricy area.

Depends on your electricity $ rate and how much you run the heater. Comparing my electric bill last month not running the heater to this month running it on the high setting non-stop day and night, it has increased my bill about $17/month. It is the only heat source we have used this month to heat our 1500 sq ft house, with over night temps down to freezing.

Yes, I have found that it does. I have two electric heating units in my apartment. I start my Duraflame when I get home and run it for 4-5 hours. It heats my whole apartment (850 sq ft) and I rarely turn on my heating units. I live in NH so it gets cold! But my electric bill rarely get above $100 in the winter. Previously, when using my heating units, the bill ran $150-200 in the winter months. I hope this helps.

I am not conscientious checking the power usage but I have not noticed a drastic increase showing up on my bill.

I would like to know if it causes your electric bill to go up extremely high?

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.

As far as electricity goes I am unsure. I did not see a change in my monthly utility bill. The unit does give off alot of heat so you have to store in a large treatment area. But the outside is very hot to the touch as well so watch the youngsters

I really cannot answer the question, we have had the coldest couple months here in years, My primary heat is all electric heat pump, so I was expecting a huge bill adding the heater also, I ran it quite a few days without turning it off, my bill was lower than I expected it to be, and it is a warmer heat than the heat pump

No it just has 1-10 and the heat increases as the number increase. I like my heater, it has preformed well.

I haven't really noticed a huge difference In my electric bill. Certainly not enough to stop me from using it. I think it's one of the best dryers I've ever used. And if it ever stopped working I would just replace it with the same model.

It wasnt really that noticeable on the electric bill.. As soon as we started using a regular space heater our bill skyrocketed... This wasnt so bad there are 2 heat settings we use in a hair salon and customers always compliment it

We are actually using two of the AC12000 units - one purchased last year, one this year - in two different parts of the house. The second unit went into operation during the recent heat wave so, yes, our electric bills did go up. Both units were running full time. I have found them to be very useful, since their output may be directed more freely than that of window mounted units. It helps to "back up" the window panel of the unit with insulation and, of course, to close off the inter-pane space to prevent outside air intrusion.
