how much electricity does this unit use? Wattage?

There's a transformer box this uses, and the wires it uses look to be about 16 gauge. I have to assume pretty minor. Like the previous guy said, it's just turning on a water solenoid and turning it off, the house water pressure and the bypass of your furnace do the rest of the work.

It hooks into your furnace wiring. It's DC current so it's very low. Just for the water valve solenoid. Probably 8-12 volts DC

It (was) 1300 Watts. But I would not recomend the Item anymore . It worked fine for less than one year and the little Knop on the Handle (connection) broke. then the heating element broke also.( I was told by the Company to ship it back in the Original !! box) Repair is more $$ then what i paid for. I bought a similar one (less $$ ) at an Aldis Store. And it works fine. Also 1300 Watts. Hope that helps ? good luck

The amp usage is not in the service manual. The unit does use wattage from a low of 350 to a high of 750. The customer service number is 1-800235-0604.I saw an answer of 6 amps. But, my box does not show this. 6 seems low. I would expect a minimum of 30 to 35 amps. 6 sould be the usage when in fan only mode with the heater element turned off.

The unit has a UL label on the bottom that says 1500 watts. I doubt if it actually uses quite that much power. I don't have a clamp on amp meter and decline to build a rig to measure the voltage and current while it is in use. You could measure the amount of water, the temperature change and calculate the power required presuming perfect efficiency. All of that I decline to do as well. Sorry all I got is the 1500 watts.If you are worried about current draw on a given circuit I expect that this thing will draw around 12 to 13 amps. That is a guess not a professional opinion. I retired and put my license on inactive. The unit has a UL label on the bottom that says 1500 watts. I doubt if it actually uses quite that much power.

in my city the electric cost is 9.5 cents per kelo watt hour. the unit is 1500 watts on high. so to run it on high it would coust me 14.25 cents per hour. on energy saving mode the unit is 950 watts and it would cost me 10 cents per hour.

The wattage is 1600 Watts. You can use it on any 15 amp outlet in your home, providing nothing else is running simultaneously. I have had no problems using this in my kitchen I make sure other items on that circuit aren't running or are unplugged, because it will draw close to 15 amps.

Mine says 36 watts on the bottom. If you have average electric rates of $0.10 / kWh), it would 9 cents per 24 hour day or $2.60 per month to operate continuously. If your electric rates are on the low side (Midwest and Pacific NW), maybe half that. If your rates are high (New England, California, Alaska, Hawaii), than twice as much.We (in Kenai, Alaska) leave one plugged in all the time in the Winter and rotate whose shoes are on it. If we've just come back from a skiing or fishing trip, than I've two more in the garage that I plug in as needed.

It uses standard 120v power. Wattage varies depending upon how high the setting is set to.

Hello Jerome,I am not sure of the wattage used,but I am guessing not that bad! I would like to know myself, anybody that knowsplease inform us, thanks in advance.

The unit comes with a transformer, it can be used 110-240volts. I hope this helps.

Sorry, I don't know Watt consumption, but you can probably find the answer the the Manufacturer website.

It is a 37 watt unit, cost will vary from city to city just take 37 multiply by hours per day used divide by 1000... that will give you your kWh consumption multiply that by your kWh cost and that will give you an estimate on daily cost.. hope this helps

I don't know how many watts it uses, but I know it does not blow a circuit when other electrical appliances are being used. I would say, it uses as much as a crockpot.

I have given a link to to energy guide for this unit below. Further information can be obtained from the manufacturer. http://www.goedekers.com/assets/PDF/GE/gtwn5650fwsenergyguide.pdf

Buy a P3 P4400 Kill A Watt meter......they're about 19 bucks and will tell you exactly how much power its using

The unit itself would draw practically no current either on or off. It may cost over a dollar a year to operate if you pay $0.15 per Kwh for electricity.

I have no idea on watts; all I wanted was a small fan/heater for my desk at work ! Sorry I can't help
