How much does using this purifier add to monthly electric bill ?

At .18/kWh, the Low is $3.50/month, the medium is $6.75/month, and the high is $15/month. A fair estimate on auto is about $4.50 per unit per month added to your electricity bill.

I have three 650E units and have noticed practically no increase in the monthly electric bill. However, the benefits are immeasurably great. The air is always fresh!

I shut my heatpump completely off and used 2 of these heaters for a 3 bedroom 2 bath doublewide but I also had a fireplace going most of the time. It was a total electric bill of $150. for a month and we had an exceptional winter with lots of snows and cold air. They work really great!!

It does not requiere electricity, mine was installed inside. In some houses down here I've seen people have installed two filters, guess they think one is not enough. One has been OK for me.

Very little. We live in a total electric home and noticed little change in our cost. Very efficient, also.

I use this one in my bedroom. The bill in August was $45 (New Jersey). In June, July, and September, it was less than $35. I can say this product is pretty energy efficient and it cools my room very well.

My electric bill was not increased by more than $20/month, but, I live in Colorado so I typically needed to use it only to cool the room off and then could turn it off at night. We were probably losing more energy from not having adequate insulation in our attic! We've moved since we last had to use the AC, but I was sure thankful to have it when needed. I think one thing I would change if I had to go back and buy it again would be to choose a unit with an auto on/off feature. The user must turn this one off or on.

I don't know because our electric bill is budgeted out by the month, so unless I take the bill before we bought the unit and the bill afterward to check the units used I wouldn't know. Sorry

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.

i have 3 duraflames turn on in winter, one use almost 24 hours a day, one for overnight and one use as needed. my highest bill was about $350/month, but that's only supplemental heat and not including my gas boiler heater,which is another $350 per month. so total heating bill per month in winter is $650 per month. if you want warmer in a dedicated room then go for it, if you want to heat the whole house, forget about it.

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.

Considering i do 2-4 loads with the washer and dryer combo a week i really didn't notice a change in the bill, in fact it was negligible increase. One thing i do that others may not be able to do is i wash a load or 2 before i go to sleep with and toss the wet laundry in the dryer and wait till i leave in the morning before i turn it on. When i leave in the morning i turn the A/C off anyways so even if it increases the temp and humidity in the apartment i never notice it. Coming home turn the A/C on and fold clothes and everything is good. If it helps you the dryer uses about as much electricity as a hair dryer or a space heater (My kill-a-watt says between 900-1000w during use). The matching washer uses literally a fraction of that. I also use auto dry instead of timed dry and have never had a problem with it. But more to the point after one full load from my 1cf haier washer i used about .75kwh or about 9 cents to dry it.

it raises my electric bill from $20 to $30 in the summer. it works so well that it is worth the expense.

I purchased this unit last year. It is used to heat a 20x16 foot bedroom in our cellar. I measured its electricity usage using my "Kill-A-Watt" meter, in early March in Maine. As near as I can tell, using it all day (with its automatic thermostat to shut it off when not needed), it probably was "ON" approx. 4-7 hours per day in a cool March. Working the usage numbers to a per-month estimate, I came up with 470 KWH per March. At our KWH fees, that translated to approx. $63.33 per month. I had previously measured three other electric heaters using my "Kill-A-Watt" meter. All three used TWICE the electricity than this Lasko. I purchased this unit last year.

For my house (1400 sqfeet, in maryland), we typically use ~100 galon per month. We are using this for main heater of my house. Still a bit cheaper than electric central heating cost.

Mine says 36 watts on the bottom. If you have average electric rates of $0.10 / kWh), it would 9 cents per 24 hour day or $2.60 per month to operate continuously. If your electric rates are on the low side (Midwest and Pacific NW), maybe half that. If your rates are high (New England, California, Alaska, Hawaii), than twice as much.We (in Kenai, Alaska) leave one plugged in all the time in the Winter and rotate whose shoes are on it. If we've just come back from a skiing or fishing trip, than I've two more in the garage that I plug in as needed.

I run mine on low speed most of the time and noticed a $20 savings on my first month. It wasn't a full month, so I'll know more this month. I'm sure there is an energy savings because PG&E; gave me a $100 rebate and it is an energy star.

Generally, home air purifiers don't consume much power. Though there's nothing about power use in the manual, I'd imagine this unit is no exception since all that's running (without the O3 generator) is a small fan and negative ion generator. From my limited knowledge of O3 (ozone) a higher voltage is necessary to produce it. How much I don't know, but you're not going to be running the O3 generator constantly.
