How much of an increase can I expect in my electric bill every month?

That would, of course, depend on how much you use it. But this little unit does a great job of warming a room at a significantly lower cost than regular electric heaters.

Depends on your electricity $ rate and how much you run the heater. Comparing my electric bill last month not running the heater to this month running it on the high setting non-stop day and night, it has increased my bill about $17/month. It is the only heat source we have used this month to heat our 1500 sq ft house, with over night temps down to freezing.

I really have no idea...I haven't noticed an increase in my electrical bill. A feature I like about this dryer is that the heat cycle moderates to a cool cycle. I find that my clothes are dry far sooner than I expected and I end up turning off the dryer long before the cycle is complete. I love my little dryer. Simple to use and does what it is supposed to without a problem.

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

That greatly depends on the home. My previous home would be every month, but my newer home has been fine for three months so far.

It depends, I had it running on lower heat 24/7 because the bedroom I had it in was the master with tile floor and large, the electric bill more than doubled for me

I haven't really noticed a huge difference In my electric bill. Certainly not enough to stop me from using it. I think it's one of the best dryers I've ever used. And if it ever stopped working I would just replace it with the same model.

Heater's like these are heavy on electricity but this one is better than any other I've had. I have mine on probably 12 hours a day, some days more, and my bill climbed only $5 a month.

the $80 answer is outrageous!!! I guess different places have different electric prices but if we left ours on for about 12-15 hours a day, every day, our bill went up by 25-30$ a month, MAX. It also depends what type of space you are heating and how well insulated it is. We find it extremely helpful in an old house in the high rockies but a family member in Florida (who is trying to heat an uninsulated house) finds it nice but not as helpful as we do. We can't live without it and as people with a very low electric bill, we do not find this heater to add any stress to our bill. we've had it two years and i highly recommend it. especially for the price - comparable heaters are much more.

i have 3 duraflames turn on in winter, one use almost 24 hours a day, one for overnight and one use as needed. my highest bill was about $350/month, but that's only supplemental heat and not including my gas boiler heater,which is another $350 per month. so total heating bill per month in winter is $650 per month. if you want warmer in a dedicated room then go for it, if you want to heat the whole house, forget about it.

I do not know the answers to your first two questions but I can say we have not seen a noticeable increase in our electricity bill since we installed the ionizer.

I am using the heater 8 Hrs. a day to keep my TV room at 70 degrees. I can not say how much my electric bill has gone up because I have an all electric house and the weather this year has been very cold.

Not sure but my electric bill went down 45.00 a month compared to using the baseboard heating. Unit is excellent keeps my bedroom and living room toasty warm.

Hi IRO,Power bills will vary, however the national average is below $.18/ kw. Using this number and a Belkin watts/hours monitor, it costs about $154/month on highest setting running 24hrs. Conversely, in different states gas and electric prices vary, while if your central air is on gas and cheaper and then this electric heater is charging more the increase is explained.

it raises my electric bill from $20 to $30 in the summer. it works so well that it is worth the expense.

Started using heater 3 weeks ago; after checking my electric usage online, it seems there is minimal change to my electric consumption within the last month. I've used it continuously throughout the night during sleep and while at home. There is a Economical setting that I use during the day. I haven't gotten my bill yet but I believe it does not make a substantial increase in the electric bill, which makes me very happy.
