Does this heater have an Energy Star rating. Our electric co. gives $225.00 rebate but ONLY if rated.

You need to ask Steibeleltron.com. They are the manufacturer of this wonderful product. I have a product of theirs and it has operated perfectly for the last six years. No wasted eleCtricity.

I do not recall what the manufacturers warranty on the heater is but I am sure it has one. The option to "buy" a service warranty on electric and electronic devices is fairly common now but in my opinion not necessary. I rarely choose to buy the service warranty or service plan as I see it mostly as a means of increasing revenue.

I am currently running two Gen-4 heaters in my house (on two separate levels). I just compared my electric bill from Nov 2012 and it is approximately $179 more for the month than last year. The usage graph was shown to be significantly higher, and I have not identified anything else that we have done differently. That said, the heaters work well and we are very happy with them. The amount of fuel that we have used for the main heating system (coal) is substantially lower and at least offsets the higher cost for the use of the heaters. it is also cleaner than coal and since the furnace is not running as much there is also less work with ash removal, etc. All said, we are more than satisfied with the purchase and will happily continue to use the heaters.

A woman I ran in to at Lowes sad she bought the Eco heater and it got so hot it could burn. She said she bought this heater from the manufacturer and it does not. - side note- the manufacturer sells this heater for 139.00

I have had mine for over a year and never noticed a thing. Honestly no difference in my electric bill if it runs or not and I have it running a lot. I highly recommend it!

I believe it does , and the specs from other websites say its energy star rated.

I think it has electric heating elements, but you should just contact customer service, they're very knowledgeable

I have not looked at my electric bill, but since it has a timer and auto shut off. The heater won't be on when it does not need to, I guess that will do save me some money.

I don't see an Energy Star label on the carton or in the manual, but rated power consumption is only 60 watts.

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.

I checked around on-line and wasn't able to find any energy-star certification info for water heater insulation blankets. Best bet would be to contact the mfr.

The electrical bill actually very low. I set an automatic temp at 68-70 degree every night prior I went to bed. It kept the house reasonable warm until I get up the the morning. It ran like that for the entire month and my electric bill still lower than let the house heating unit run all night. During the day I raise the tempt to about 75 degree or set it 65 if everyone at work. Overall I save about $20+ per month in electric bill last winter. Beside functionality, the electric flame makes the house more welcoming. I don't have any complain about the heater. If it's on sale, I would buy another one for upstairs.

Electric was supposed to be promisingly lower, mine were not, but they may have been due to electricity rate increases last year. You should check with your utility company before buying to see it it would be beneficial to you. Ours was running 24/7 in dead of winter and our electric bill was $550/mo 1/2 of that was the utility charge just for using their company! (like we have a choice) If you live in an area where you not slammed with delivery charges than yes, this would be feasible for you in cold months.

thats one of the things i was upset about it advertised having the humidifier but there is not one basically its just a heater and really didn't do a very good job at heating my march electric bill was 777.27 when it normally runs around 160.00 so it pulls a lot of wattage i bought a lasko heater from walmart for 70.00 does a much better job hope this helps

No not at all plus my review about the inflated electric bill was wrong the heater was not the only thing that caused my bill to go up so much

Don't know but I can tell you that I see no change in our electric bill when we use it so it must be very little.Also, its great since there's separate controls on it. My wife heats up her side all night and I just heat my side up about 5 minutes prior to going to bed and then turn it off. Very satisfied with it to date.

LXF: My previous response was incorrect: The rating label reads 55 WATTS, not Amps! Here is the corrected version: Your electric bill will increase as follows: The rating label on the unit says it draws 55 Watts (maximum) @ 120VAC. Running the unit for 24 hrs per day: = 55W x 24 hours = 1320 Watt-hrs (Wh) per day. Running it 24/7 : = 1320Wh per day x 365days /year = 481800 Watt-hrs/1000 = 481 KWh per year. Multiply 481 by the price you pay per (KWh) from your local utility (found on your monthly billing statement). For example: If you pay $0.23 per KWh, then $0.23 x 481 KWh = your cost to run the unit 24/7 = $110.81 per year, or $110.81/12 = $9.24 per month, or 0.30 per day. Apologies for any confusion.
