Does this unit use a lot of electricity?

I did not see any difference in my bill, but my bill is not the same every month. Still there was no big jump in the amount! Hope that helps!

I have given a link to to energy guide for this unit below. Further information can be obtained from the manufacturer. http://www.goedekers.com/assets/PDF/GE/gtwn5650fwsenergyguide.pdf

I haven't noticed an increase on my electric bill and haven't measured electricity usage specifically for this device. It does go into a sleep mode when not in use. When we are going to be gone or won't be using the computers for a while ii usually turn off the power supply for this and the rest of my network peripherals.

These little heaters put out a lot of heat and thus use a lot of electricity. I use mine to get concentrated heat in one room so I turn my furnace down really low.

I do not know the answer to this as I always use mine plugged into electricity.

Yes, but it depends on outside temperature and how well the building is insulated and air sealed. It's 5600 watts or 19000 BTU, that's quit a bit. It's going to use more electricity!

I dont know this. It must use very little electricity. The heated part is like a heating pad. We plug it in at night and unplug during the day. This has been a lifesaver for my outside kitty who has been sleeping in the garage with unusually cold temperatures. He never wants to come out of the bed. i have not noticed an increase in my bill.

This unit will not store up energy. It will only work when plugged in. But unit is great for intended use.

Not sure of electricity consumption; however, the appliance is "Energy Star" rated.

I have only had the unit for 2 weeks so I haven't been through a complete billing cycle for my electric bill.I used to have an ozone machine many years ago but lost it. I never noticed a significant change in my electric bill when I used it.I believe the draw on your electricity will be quite miniscule.Ed

No, it does not use much electricity because it is really just a fan and does not have a heat source.

The specs are not clear on this question. As far as I know, the unit does not contain a fan, and it gets only slightly warm to the touch under light load (one multifunction printer, one high-power laptop), so it is probably using "a few watts"... i.e., not much. However, the unit is absolutely covered with cooling slots, so perhaps under heavy load it will use more. My guess would be less than 10% overhead.

It doesn't seem to require excessive power. Ours is pretty basic and it works fine.

Yes, it uses a converter plugged into wall outlet to provide power to the unit
