Is it energy efficient??

Yes, I think the fireplace is efficient. We shut off most of our house in the evenings and use only the fireplace in our living area. It is very comfortable and our heat bill seems to go down about 15% although our electric rate has risen about 5%.

Yes, very, very energy efficient...... Only pennies per hour to run. Love it......works great.....everyone needs one.

Sense it is relatively low wattage I'd say yes. If you have doubts use a thermostat and/or a power strip. My best guess...

It is more energy efficient than other electric models since its motor only draws 6.5 amps, while others are often double that. As far as impact on electric bill, it's negligible.

It would be fine...since it's led, it doesn't draw much power...especially if it is running

Very little. We live in a total electric home and noticed little change in our cost. Very efficient, also.

I have used it on occasion but since I live in So California it doesn't have to work very hard. I also have solar electricity so I generate more than I use each month creating a negative usage with So Cal Edison. So I can't really answer your question. We do like the unit very much.

I cannot say it is energy efficient ??? but keeps the den habitable to enjoy and can lower the main furnace (electric heat) so not entire heater has to run as often.

It runs as a small refrigerator will, shutting off once it reaches optimum temperature. I haven't seen a great increase in electrical usage. Any negligible power cost is offset by the convenience of having chilled wine at-the-ready.

Yes it has energy saving functions. And it works very well. I have become very reliant on the thermostat. I set the temp (indicated on the LCD display) when the thermostat reaches that temp it turns off the compressor and only the fan keeps working. Has worked flawlessly in this regard. I set it to 74 degrees indicated, for example, and the AC compressor turns off.Another way you can save energy is by setting the timer (in increments of one hour). The entire unit turns off after reaching the designated hours used. (There's no clock timer.) I have the unit set up by my bed. On hot nights I go to bed, set the temp, and timer. When I'm asleep two hours later, for example, the machine turns off. Yes it has energy saving functions. And it works very well. I have become very reliant on the thermostat.

No! But I have put my entire kitchen under solar power, so it is not a problem. I did check the meter to see if there was any significant movement and there was not, so I run it quite often. I recommend it to you without reservation!

It is definitely the most cost efficient space heater I've ever used. It is cheaper to run than the traditional electric space heaters.

We don't use it in a high usage areA but the workmanship wouldend to believe that you wouldn't run into any problems. At 1200 watts it would get things done in a hurry.

This Kuulaire is twice the size of an air conditioner and uses more electricity, but I've heard it is better for the environment. I bought one which sits in storage as I have found an air conditioner to be a more convenient option. I guess it depends on your preferences whether you choose to purchase this or not.

It is not at all powered by electricity. There is a battery operated monitor but I don't think that would be an issue. We don't use that feature anyway.

When I Travel I run A fish Tank pump,500 w heater, Heating pad for the wife, charge her cell phone her I pod sometimes all at one time no problem (cooling fans don't even run) As good as A PURE SINE I don't know what your idea is for a lot of electronics. If you mean A LOT as in A LOT I would say NO.

Yes, Less watts will not hurt it. You will just not be getting full power out of it.

In my opinion, yes. I use it for a printer. I may use the computer the whole day but I do not need to have the printer on all time. The same token to save power, I use it with other appliances such as a toaster oven, microwave, etc. It may be a very small amount that you may be saving on your electricity bills. But it adds up in along run and not to mention savings energy!
