How much does it cost for electricity to keep it hot?

Funny you should ask that. We just tested to see how much it cost us to run it for a month it came out to around $80.00. That was to run it all day everyday to keep the temp ready for use at any time.

don't know exactly but I didn't notice much difference.. it takes some time to get it warm thou

I wish I could help you, but I have only had mine a couple of weeks. I have also not been running the heater all the time since I cannot use it daily. I am sure the cost will go up as the nights cool down because the water temp definitely falls faster now.

Not unless you are talking pennies. 8 watts an hour means that at an average 11 cents per kwh, it costs 8x24x30 (wattsxhours in a dayxdays in a month)=5760 watts1000 (watts per kwh= 5.76 kwh x 11 cents = 63 cents per month to run.

The heater is rated at 1.5 killowatts (1500W) and the average cost of electricity in the US is $.12kw/hr. So at the recommended/max treatment time of 6hrs they all multiply together to get $1.08 per run.

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.

You can use the following formula to calculate how much it will cost to operate a 1,500-watt space heater (or any other electric equipment): Watts x hours of use 1,000 x cost per kilowatt-hour = cost of operation This means that if a 1,500-watt heater ran 24-hours at a rate of 7.57 cents a kilowatt-hour, the cost would be $2.73 a day (1,500 x 24 1,000 x $0.0757). For a month that would amount to $81.76 added to the electric bill of the average customer. source: conservingelectricity.com

This could run constantly if the pond is below 40 F. In that case, cost is $3-5 per day, depending on cost of electricity. This could add $50-150 per month as it gets colder.Example: 1500 watt x 24 hour = 36 kw-hrif electric costs 0.15 $/kw-hr = $5.40 per dayIt typically turns on at 45 F and off at 60 F.

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.

Based on the heater rating of 1500 watts and resistive electric heat being 100% efficient, then operating at a 65% heat demand (thermostat set at a point where the heating element is energized for 65% of the time) one would expect a usage of approx. 1KW per hour. If your cost of electricity is $0.10 per KWH then it would cost $2.40 per day during a 24 hour heater usage period.

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.

I'm not sure, I know it is cheap to run, cheaper then the furnace i think it is 8 cents or so an hour. I havent had to turn my heat on since I bought this last year before winter. I love it.

I can't tell you how much power the unit draws but I found that it increased my electric bill about $15 per month while it was running and there is a drain hose so you don't have to use the tray. The drain hose is short but you could hook up your own hose to extend it.

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.

If you used this heater 12 hours per day on the high setting (1500W), this is approximately what you'd have: 1500Wx12Hx30D=540,000W per month or 540Kw. For average utility electricity averaging about 10 cents per Kw that would give you monthly usage amount of around 54 dollars. We use this heater in conjunction with central heating and not as an addition. We are actually seeing our normal monthly bill drop.

No, this is for 220, sure saves money on your electricity. Set timer to heat water only when you need it.

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.

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.

I have my PEET plugged into a Kill-A-Watt meter, with my rates, leaving my dryer plugged in for months, my daily cost is $.09, monthly cost is $2.80.
