I have no idea as I gave this to my daughter. She keeps her heat very low in a 900sf condo and uses the heater in the living room each night before bed.

I don't know but it's low. It heats well and looks good and my son who I got it for loved it. I do believe that there is a faultiness with the fire running thing but we set up a light from dollar store inside and it worked fine (fire doesn't have to run for heat completely aesthetic.) For price and heat I'd give it a 4 looks 5 out of 5 but fire may need to be rigged down the road. It is not expensive to run like heaters of the past.

Well it's a 250 watt element. So for 24 hours that's 6 kilowatt hours(kWh). So look on your electric bill for your kWh pricing. Multiply your kWh price by 6 and you've got the answer. For instance if your electric costs $0.12/kWh then it would be $0.72 to run the unit for 24 hours. Hope this helps!

I would think the cost would be very high to operate this unit to replace your boiler. I have in floor radiant heat and use a 3500W electric waterheater to heat about 1300sqft, it seems to be able to keep up unless the outside temp goes below zero for an extended period of time. I have calculated the cost to be an average of $70 a month during the winter.

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.

Blower is optional purchase separately and needs to be installed. I am not exceptionally handy but made it fairly easily despite instructions that are faint and not translated very well. We have been very happy with stoves performance as supplental heat and backup for power outtages. Propane, at the moment is not competitive with electric. Our propane is $3.50 per gal. which is comparable to 27 Kws of electricty which costs us about $2.70. (based on BTUs). Do get the blower tho'. It makes a big difference.

If you run it on the highest setting, it uses 1500 watts per hour which is 1.5 kilowatts. Our power company charges 7 cents per KWH (kilowatt hour) so if we run it on high for an hour, it costs us 10.5 cents an hour. If you use the lower settings, you use lower watts so the cost is less. Your electric bill should tell you how much you are being charged per KWH.

The heating element uses 1500 watts or 1.5 kw per hour. Multiply the number of hours you plan to use your heater times 1.5 kw to get the kw hours. For example: 1.5 kw x 10 hours =15 kwh. Multiply the kwh x rate/kwh to get the cost. Let's use 12 cents/kwh. The cost would be 15kwh x $0.12 = $1.80 per day. 30 days would be $54.00.CFinch

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

It uses 1500 watts per hour. In my area electricity is about 14 cents/kilowatt. So, if you use if for three hours per day that would be 135 kilowatts per month and cost $18.90/month. I use it to help heat our finished basement (14ftx42ft) and it does a great job. It's not cost effective to have it on all day long, but if I know I'm going to be in the basement I'll set if for 3-4 hours. It'll take the temp from 65 degrees up to 69 in well under an hour (more like 30-40 minutes).

This propane heater will consume 2 lbs. of propane per hour while it's producing heat. Depending on the cost of propane in your area would determine the cost to run. There is no electricity required to operate.

For an appliance that is manually operated (lights, microwave oven, toaster) you measure the power when it is on. This is the KiloWatts it uses. Multiply this value by the number of hours that the appliance is on in a month. Multiply that value by the $ per KWHr charged by your power company (around $0.15 is typical) and that will be your cost per month for that appliance. For something that is automatic, like a refrigerator or television, leave it plugged in for a day so you get a time period when door is shut for a while and when it is actively used. Multiply that KW reading by 30 days and then by the $0.15 and that will get you its monthly cost.

For those who want to know, the cost per day can be figured out by: (watts/1000) * hours * cost per kilowatt-hour. So, if you're using the 4 watt model, 24 hours, with an electric rate of 13 cents per kWH, then it would be: (4/1000)*24*.13 = $0.012 dollars per day. Or in other words, about 37 to 38 cents per month.

It is very dependent upon how cold it is outside and how good your home is insulated. On average, it costs us around 14 cents per hour. If we were solely using our other heat source, propane, that would cost roughtly 28 to 30 cents per hour, or double the amount we spend with the EdenPure. Using the EdenPure, we save around $800 per year in heating costs. We run it about 12 to 14 hours, only in the daytime. Since we have forced air heat with the propane, we like that the EdenPure is quiet and does not blow dust all around. And unlike forced air, the EdenPure heat is even. At night we typically don't use any heat at all, or very little, using only the propane furnace. We have had an EdenPure now for about 6 to 7 years, and would never be without one.

Hi, Zahid, I haven't experienced a real difference in my electric bills since I bought this oven. Since the oven is used every day for at least one meal (most days it's used for lunch and dinner; some days for all three meals) I believe that the additional cost for electric power is not a big issue. I really like this appliance; it's versatility is outstanding. I sincerely hope that, if you get one, your additional power cost is also minimal. Good luck. Anne

It takes approxi one hour to cook most anything. We were happy with ours until after nearly one year the plug burnt out and we could not replace it, we looked everywhere, so we had to dispose of the cooker, though it still worked great.

I operated my Comfort all last winter as a primary heat source and it hardly showed up on my electric bill. It only uses 1500 watts tops, but is so efficient in circulating the heated air, It cycles only about hafl time. My furnace uses propane gas at $4.00 a gallon. I run the electric 24 hrs a day, for at least 50 percent savings over-all.

Mary, I never figured out the cost of running. Electric rates will vary. I used it winter time only and for 2-3 hours a day. It warmed up the living room, dining room, and kitchen. I didn't notice any change in my electric bill, except that it was lower than when I ran the furnace and heated up the whole place. You can use it with or without the heat, which can be conntrolled with
