How is it on the electric bill? Does it suck up a lot of power or is it pretty energy effecient?

To be honest I just bout a full size fridge so after 3 months I'm selling it but I've had tiny electric bills so no

Haven't noticed any changes to our monthly bill since we started using this refrigerator several months ago. My budget conscious husband is well satisfied with this purchase. Above all, it keeps his beer frosty cold! ;)

I used my Kill-A-Watt to measure mine and after 2275 hours on it broke down to 26 cents a day/ $7.99 a month to keep my 14' by 12' office at 70 degrees. Very efficient. It pulls 11amps/1262watts when running at full blast. I've had mine for at least 4 years and it still works wonderfully.

we just blew it up when we had people staying with us. We kept it plugged in for the most part but I don't think you would have to. I don't imagine it uses much electricity but I don't really know.

I haven't determined yet just how much it saves my electric bill as I also have an electric hvac for heating. I will say it keeps my heat from kicking on about half as much.and it does heat a whole room. I'm not at all disappointed with it.

It is not too bad from a noise perspective. Mine runs in the basement almost constantly and is OK. If you spend a lot of time next to it the noise could be of concern. The unit is energy start rated but my electrical consumption has significantly jumped this year. Mainly because I have the drain hose connected to it so it runs much more than my old unit where I would forget to empty the bucket on a regular basis.

it is not expensive to operate. I did not notice any difference in my electric bill

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

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

Our electric bill went WAY up using this thing. We live in SoCal, with those high electric bills, and found just using the whole house furnace (ours is energy efficient) and heating the entire house was much cheaper than using this piece of junk to heat a single room.

I think so, Patricia. It's a little hard to say, because we're using it in a motorhome, so it comes on a lot more than would be necessary in a house or a more airtight room of any sort. But I would say it's energy efficient due to the fact that it is such an efficient unit in itself. Unlike most small 1500 watt space heaters that heat up only the first six inches in front of it, with the same wattage this heats the whole place, mostly on the low setting (750 watts). Or you can warm things up in a hurry on the high setting at 1500 watts. And the big plus is it has a thermostat. You just turn the dial till the heater shuts off when you're comfortable, and it will cycle on and off to accommodate that temperature. We love it.

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.

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.

I don't know that I agree with him. My bills appear to be rather even in so much as my electric bill went up because of using the electric water heater, yet my gas bill went down because I'm not keeping a tank of hot water constantly heated using gas. I use gas sparingly even in the winter with heat. I like to keep it pretty cold but use electric space heater's in the rooms where I'm actually living. I live in a small condo so I was glad to have the extra space that isn't taken up by a large water heater.It gave me space for a mop bucket brooms etc. Hope this is useful to you

It costs about 6 cents a day on low, which is all I use on it. The reason I know this is because I spent the ridiculous sum of 20$ for a KILL A WATT on Amazon. It is a very eye opening gadget and anything 110V can be plugged into it to find out what it costs to run it. By the way that is at about 9 cents per KW. I use this quiet machine in the bedroom. It's like new and I paid the horrendous price of 4$ for it at a yard sale.

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

That is possible if you run it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It uses a vast amount of electricity. I use mine from Friday to Sunday every weekend and my electric bill went up $200.

It has reduced my electric bill by about 10 or 15 dollars a month during the winter. I love mine., I turn mine on as soon as it start getting cold and furnace doesn't come on only a couple times a night. depends how cold it get.
