I know electricity is priced differently all over the country but generally speaking how much does it cost to run one of these at 104?

much less than we expected even in the winter months very good tub forthe buck enjoy

I think my bill went up $20 or so, running 6-8hrs daily. Be aware to maintain 104 you must run continually except in hot summers.

Wow. All of these other people have low bills compared to mine. Our electricity bill went up $140/month. But let me explain... #1-It's winter #2-Our children are in it almost all day long. In short, if you have the jacuzzi covered most of the time it will stay hot and cost you way less than it does us. But because the cover is off during cold temperatures, the jacuzzi constantly is heating.

I live in North Carolina and my winter bill has increased by approximately $40 but I keep mine at 102 degrees.whatever the cost it's worth every penny I love my spa!

I think ours must run about $30 a month and we live in a high electricity cost area. Friction heating ts a lot cheaper than using a heating element.

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

That's a very tough math problem, James! Since you're using 0.015 kWh per day, that's 1 kWh every 67 days. Depending on your power company, 1 kWh probably costs you about 15 cents, so you'd be saving about $1.00 per year...not too impressive. The main reason I bought this was not to save money, but to make it possible to install a security light without needing an outlet.

That sounds really high to me. The thing that cost me the most was the extra wiring - I had to put in 3 more 220 lines. But my son installed it for me, so I didn't have to pay labor. If I were you, I'd get another couple of quotes and if you need more wiring, make sure they include that too. My total cost was about $1,100, including the heater.

I never programmed the cost per KWh so I never worried about resetting when moving from device to device. I have had the unit for a couple months and first used it for a month on my 30 year old fridge. It used 100 KWh during that month. My tier 1 cost is $.13/KWh so I know it cost $13/mo to run. It is now on a freezer in my garage for a month. Its a lot newer and so far used a lot less that the fridge. Sorry I couldn't help you but I never bothered programming because of multiple tiers of electricity cost. Now I have gone solar so I am always in tier 1.

I had already had my shop wired for 220 when I converted garage to workshop. It was done by an electrician. As I recall it did not seem like a big deal. I would think an electrician could give you a price over the phone.

It is 120 for American electricity. It works very well. We have had raclette machines in France for years and this is very much like the SEB one.

LXF: My previous response was incorrect: The rating label reads 55 WATTS, not Amps! Here is the corrected version:Your electric bill will increase as follows: The rating label on the unit says it draws 55 Watts (maximum) @ 120VAC. Running the unit for 24 hrs per day: = 55W x 24 hours = 1320 Watt-hrs (Wh) per day. Running it 24/7 : = 1320Wh per day x 365days /year = 481800 Watt-hrs/1000 = 481 KWh per year. Multiply 481 by the price you pay per (KWh) from your local utility (found on your monthly billing statement). For example: If you pay $0.23 per KWh, then $0.23 x 481 KWh = your cost to run the unit 24/7 = $110.81 per year, or $110.81/12 = $9.24 per month, or 0.30 per day. Apologies for any confusion.

It has 3 settings, the lowest of which at 500w.As a rule of thumb, if you leave this on 24/7, a whole year, the cost in dollars would about equal the wattage rating.So at 500W, you'd pay $500 a year leaving this on all year.If you're using the 1500w setting, 8hours per day, in winter only, You'd be thinking about 1500/4/3= $125 annually (or over the 4 months of winter)

I've never done a calculation on it, but these lights can't use more that a few watts per hour due to being LED.If I had to venture a guess, MAYBE $1 a month to run 2 every night. That's probably overestimating.

It's hard to say exactly. I keep this one on all winter downstairs and I keep an oil filled heater on all winter upstairs. My electric bill is about $100.00 a month more for both running pretty much all the time. But, my gas bill is way lower than it would normally be so, it balances out. My gas pack air handler doesn't come on unless it gets real cold. It saves wear and tear on that so, I figure all in all it's a good deal. When it gets extremely cold this heater wont keep up but, neither will the oil filled. It was 5 degrees earlier in the week with a two day high of 23. The air handler came on a lot. My iheater is several years old now. It's still working. It's hard to say exactly. I keep this one on all winter downstairs and I keep an oil filled heater on all winter upstairs.

Here in NJ, it cost me $1.28/day to run, which is 38.46 for one heater per month. I used five in my downstairs, which is open, about 750 square feet, and my house was COLD! These were very expensive to buy in the first place, expensive to run, and did not keep my house warm.

If the former is true than the latter will be much to close to impossible. If they both are true than that must mean that 3.6LPM/52GPH is the base rate but it can be adjusted to 68GPM/4,080GPH which like I said before sounds crazy unreal for the price and energy voltage...... listen I am going to get a measurement of the rate once I get it in the post.

The high setting on the heater is 1,500 watts which is equal to [1.5 kilowatts] - (kilo = 1000). Your electric company rate charge is based on "kilowatt hours usage" - the number of kilowatts of electric you use in one hour. What do you pay per kilowatt hour (usually around 9 - 12 cents per kilowatt hour is typical) - it should be listed on your bill? Multiply that "per Kilowatt hour rate charge" times 1.5 kilowatts (heater on high). Example: 1.5 X .10 = 15 cents "per hour."

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.

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.

Well it's a 250 watt element. So for 24 hours that's 6 kilowatt hours(kWh). So look on your electric bill for your kWh pricing. Multiply your kWh price by 6 and you've got the answer. For instance if your electric costs $0.12/kWh then it would be $0.72 to run the unit for 24 hours. Hope this helps!
