How is this item on electric bills?

I keep a close eye on my electric bill and I can tell you this is not noticeable, a few dollars a month?

Immaterial. All you're doing is putting a very light voltage through a single strand of wire. Not even enough to shock you if you touch it (I've had to fix a break in the wire and it doesn't even produce a spark when you touch the two pieces of wire together).

I have had mine plugged in 24 /7 and have not noticed a difference in my electric bill. With normal monthly fluctuations in usage it goes on working unnoticed.....

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

We are actually using two of the AC12000 units - one purchased last year, one this year - in two different parts of the house. The second unit went into operation during the recent heat wave so, yes, our electric bills did go up. Both units were running full time. I have found them to be very useful, since their output may be directed more freely than that of window mounted units. It helps to "back up" the window panel of the unit with insulation and, of course, to close off the inter-pane space to prevent outside air intrusion.

Hi, I only turn it on during the winter season but never noticed a difference in my electric bill. I think because I only connected it to the outlet at night before going to sleep.

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.

Not sure, but I haven't experienced any damage or an increase in my utility bill.

I am not sure of the question. As far as my electric bill it went up very little and it is on 24/7.

Not a problem. We have an older home that has had serveral wiring jobs done on it over the years and a mix of 15 and 20 amp outlets. Unit works fine. It has been fun actually seeing what it costs to operate the different appliances we have. I especially like the remote feature of the display. You can place it where it can be easily viewed. Right now it is measuring the big screen TV. It runs about 24/7 and costs about $0.50 per day to use. Nice little unit from Belkin.

Don't buy this expecting it to be energy efficient. It will run your electric bill up. I am total electric and I use it on "flames only" most of the time for ambiance as it will easily increase your elec bill $20 to $30 a month if you use it often.

It uses a reasonable amount of electricity. Last winter I went from oil heat to electricity only and my electric bill was less than 3 times the previous year during the coldest winter months here in New England.

I haven't noticed a spike in my bill and I've been using it for almost a year. I really like it and have gotten a lot of compliments. It looks nice and heats really well. I think that saves on energy b/c you can just heat one room if you want to.

The Energy Guide estimates $26 cost per year at 240 kWh yearly electricity use. Typically, in the summer months, my electric bill runs $20-$30 per month. It is staying under $30. I really have no complaint of any kind ref. our freezer. It's small and convenient, yet holds those great bargains I hate to pass up.

As far as electricity goes I am unsure. I did not see a change in my monthly utility bill. The unit does give off alot of heat so you have to store in a large treatment area. But the outside is very hot to the touch as well so watch the youngsters

It only added about $10/month to my electric bill. I don't know what that other person is talking about....mine is plugged in 24/7
