How much will a wind turbine cut my electric bill?
2082654
I don't know I am just starting the process of setting up my system. But I am antcipating that both my windmills will generate enough power to satisfy all my needs

Not knowing your set up, it's hard to say. I'm 100 % off grid. I figure the w. Gen saved me about 15 to 20% last winter of gas cost maybe even more. I have nothing on paper but know I ran the gas generator a lot less last winter. Summer is about 1 % at best. I'm in Michigan where it is very poor for wind generators.

I don't run anything with it. I charge batteries . It will also depend on your area for what type and how much wind you have. Please be aware of the 2 companies in the state of Washington that are selling this unit, they are very poor people to deal with. Crooked comes to mind.

You can calculate it from here and find some additional information as well about turbine: http://www.gudcraftonline.com/category-s/57.htm

I love this unit, requires two 220V inputs from power panel. I have two ECO Smart units and save $80 a month on my power bill.

i dont believe that it has effected my electric bill. if it has it is minimal.

I wish I could help you with that but I'm not certain. I certainly haven't noticed a difference in my electric bill, and my son uses this fan every night. The one negative I have to say is that it was only used for a couple weeks before it started making a very annoying noise while oscillating. It has therefore only been used in a fixed position since. If you want a good oscillating fan, this may not be the one for you.

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. :)

Our electric bill increased less than$8/mo (run heater 8-9 hrs/day in our sunporch here in MI). Bear in mind we use the 1500 Edenpure. Recommend you use a 1500 - cost might be more, but it will pay for itself.

unless its got a diode internally yes, otherwise as soon as the wind stops the electricity will go the other way and you've got a fan instead of a generator.

I absolutely love this little heater! My electric bill dropped from $150 to $50. Yes mine turns off and on sometimes quickly but it is producing heat. I changed the mode around and back. It got better. I would contact them and ask what can be done if it persists.

If the wind is strong enough for long enough. If you have a 12v TV, you could attach it directly to your battery. If you have a 120v TV you will need an inverter rated a little higher than you TV. You will need to do some math to determine your battery size and the length of time it will take to charge the batter. So, assuming your TV takes 150W of power and you want to watch it for 1 hour, you need a 150WH battery. The turbine will take about 15 hours of continuous wind to store that much energy in your battery (150WH/10W). If you use an inverter assume about 10-15% loss to the inverter. This means about 55 minutes of watching instead of an hour. If the wind is strong enough for long enough. If you have a 12v TV, you could attach it directly to your battery.

in my city the electric cost is 9.5 cents per kelo watt hour.the unit is 1500 watts on high.so to run it on high it would coust me 14.25 cents per hour.on energy saving mode the unit is 950 watts and it would cost me 10 cents per hour.

I hang laundry outside from about April until thanksgiving, then it get too cold, and I would say that my electric bill decreases by about $100 a month, we are a family of 6 although 2 are at college at the present. I would say that the decrease is mostly through not using the tumble dryer.

Terrible. My electric bill usually runs $90 to $100 in the winter was $189 for the month I used it. I had hoped to save on the fuel oil. It also made the rest of the house freezing.

At 42 watts, it would consume 368 kWh of electricity per year if you ran it 24-7-365. My utility is fairly cheap by nationwide standards (still $0.08/kWh) so you'd be looking at $29 per year in electricity. On the other hand, if you lived someplace like New York City or Hawaii where power is $0.20/kWh or higher, you'd have a big power expense on your hands.

No you cannot use this window turbine now you getting into a more complicated situation for that it will be a little more expensive for when turbine charge converter and is pretty big this is only. The panel I hope that answer your question

We used it to replace a 7 year old pump. I would say the electric bill dropped about $10 per month.
