How much will I spend on kerosene if I use this 5 hrs a day in 300 sq ft?

I have used it in a much bigger space area than 300 sq ft and consumed about a gallon. Depending where you are the gallon is about $15 in CA.

You can use the following formula to calculate how much it will cost to operate a 1,500-watt space heater (or any other electric equipment):Watts x hours of use ÷ 1,000 x cost per kilowatt-hour = cost of operationThis means that if a 1,500-watt heater ran 24-hours at a rate of 7.57 cents a kilowatt-hour, the cost would be $2.73 a day (1,500 x 24 ÷ 1,000 x $0.0757). For a month that would amount to $81.76 added to the electric bill of the average customer. source: conservingelectricity.com

See http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/estimating-appliance-and-home-electronic-energy-useThe unit is 580 watts.Based on the calculator on the above page, I probably spend about $12/month to run the distiller (I distill about a gallon per day). Assuming I've done the math right ;)

I would highly advise against using anything but K1 kerosene. Trying to save a couple bucks, I used the red (pink) kerosene in mine for a couple months, and there was so much soot buildup that it created what was essentially a chimney fire, or flare up. It filled the garage with heavy black smoke, set off 3 smoke detectors, and I hate to think what could have happened if I hadn't caught it in time. I now use K1 kerosene, and despite the extra expense, it's cheap when compared to burning your house down.

If you used this heater 12 hours per day on the high setting (1500W), this is approximately what you'd have: 1500Wx12Hx30D=540,000W per month or 540Kw. For average utility electricity averaging about 10 cents per Kw that would give you monthly usage amount of around 54 dollars. We use this heater in conjunction with central heating and not as an addition. We are actually seeing our normal monthly bill drop.

how big of the propane tank needed to run the whole house for one full day?

if you were to cook on high every-time you cooked you would get six uses. One full propane tank would typically last me a 3 night, 2 day camping trip. I would usually use it to boil water for coffee, fry eggs, and cook bacon in the morning, and heat the baked beans until they are nice and hot for dinner.

I don't know that the mixture (fuel/air) would be correct. Propane is cheaper... depending on where you are.

No, you will have to have the Co2 tank filled on your own. Cost about $15 to fill it and should last for 5-7, 1/4 to 1/2 kegs.

The unit is rated at 580 watts, it takes 5 hours for 1 gallon, so that will be 2900 watts per 1 gallon.

I heat a 400 sq ft cabin with this heater and I have it hooked up to a 100 gal permanent propane tank. That said, I probably wouldn't use anything less than a 5 gal. tank.

WE're careful about how much we use it, but we live in SoCal with the highest electric rates in the continental US. You can do the arithmetic yourself. The heater runs at 750 (L) and 1500 (H) watts. Look at a recent electrical bill and see what the cost/kWhr is in your area. Let's say its $0.20/kWhr (typical for SoCal), then 1 hour of using the heater at high will run you $0.30 (1.5kW x $0.20/kWhr), and one month of this will run you 30 days x $0.30/day = $9.00/ month. If you live in the Pacific Northwest, like my in-laws, where electricity is cheap ($0.06/kWhr), then it will cost a lot less (only $2.70/month) for that 1 hour/day.

We are using the T300 in a room 15 x 20 ft with 9ft ceiling. This room is open towards the kitchen.The T300 is running about 12 hrs / day at low speed with intermittent higher speeds as needed. Air quality is much better than it used to be. No lingering kitchen aromas (and much less dust we found). We bought a second one for another part of the house.

I have used mine in bedroom areas as well as main living areas between 300-1000. The amount of concentration of oil aroma will be appropriate to room size. I am very happy with my diffusor.

It all depends on three variables. The length of time you run it, the speed the fan is operating at/current draw, ie. low, medium or high, and the cost per kw you are being charged. Based on your 100w it would cost .02 cents a day running for 2 hours if you are being charged .10 cents per kwh (kilo watt hour). Myself we run it for about 8 hours and our kw charge after our 300kw allowance would run us about .08572 cents. For you to pay that .02 cents a day based on my cost of .10715 you would have to run the fan for 1.865 hours or just undr an 1 hour 52 minutes. If my math is right. Cost = kwh x cost per kwHope this helpsRicks It all depends on three variables.

We have a 675sq ft. apt and one can WAS NOT sufficient. We ran out after only doing our bedroom and half of the living room. Didn't have enough for our office. One can is probably goo for about 500sq ft.
