How much does it cost an hr to run
1873033
I am currently running two Gen-4 heaters in my house (on two separate levels). I just compared my electric bill from Nov 2012 and it is approximately $179 more for the month than last year. The usage graph was shown to be significantly higher, and I have not identified anything else that we have done differently. That said, the heaters work well and we are very happy with them. The amount of fuel that we have used for the main heating system (coal) is substantially lower and at least offsets the higher cost for the use of the heaters. it is also cleaner than coal and since the furnace is not running as much there is also less work with ash removal, etc. All said, we are more than satisfied with the purchase and will happily continue to use the heaters.

Noticed a nominal increase in electricity cost. Say 50 dollars running it about 12 hours a day five days a week

Roughly speaking, 1 watt run 24 hours a day costs $1 per year. So a 35 watt GoldenRod (or a 35 watt light bulb) used year-round and never turned off would cost you $35.Source: http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/energy/watt-year-dollar.htm

BTW, don't let the $35/mo intimidate you... They offer annual plans that result in substantial savings. If you buy a year of coverage, you can get the highest reporting interval (every minute, normally $35/mo) at a cost of only $20/month. If you are just wanting to do some short term sleuthing, go with one of the monthly plans. If your need is long term, annual subscription is the way to go.

It depends on the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour (kw-hr) from your power company. A kw-hr is 1000 watts of electrical load for 1 hour. So, for each hour of operation, that heater uses 1.5 kw-hrs. Multiply that by the cost of the electricity per kw-hr and you'll know how much that heater costs to run each hour. Then multiply that by the number of hours it's operating in a month and you'll know the impact on your monthly bill. For example, if electricity costs 10 cents per kw-hr, the heater costs 15 cents an hour to operate. That's $3.60 per 24 hour day, $25.20 per 7 day week, and $108 for a 30-day month.

According to the product's manual, it's possible! But remember according to the amazon website "When paired with the HRM-Run monitor1, the Forerunner 620 provides feedback on running form by measuring cadence, vertical oscillation and ground contact time". You could use another belt (garmin's), but probably losing this informations. There is one more issue the price of the total equipment is $449 and without the HRM $399. After that, to buy only the HRM Run it will cost you $100.

No. Just the basics: HR set in three target ranges, distance, speed, cadence, etc. Superlative customer service. Mine went on the blink after a very wet ride, and they replaced it for free.

I'm sure it will depend on output. I run 30 feet for an hour but not at full force.

Hi, the heart rate monitor works just fine for me and I've used it for maybe 7-10 runs and get VERY sweaty.

I would say after 3 to 4 workouts. I have noticed that if I don't wear the HR Monitor it lasts a little longer.

If you set up an online account, you can log in and see how many calories you have burned on your runs. I have mine set up to sync to my computer and upload the data whenever I come near my computer.

If you have fixed routes, you can just buy a cheap HR monitor and skip the GPS by using a free online mapping tool. Here's an example of a 5.7 miler in my neighborhood: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=510000 There are slicker free tools than that site, but they all use the same underlying technology.Still, GPS is nice if you want to just "run till you're done," especially if you're in open spaces without landmarks and with a clear view of the sky for satellite acquisition. And importing the run data into your PC is sweet, too (though it doesn't work with a Mac).

You can program it either way when you do your HR set up. Its easier for run/bike to use percents if you want to stay in a zone, and it has zone alarms. I wear the watch in the pool but not the heart rate monitor. It will take time to get used to the watch and its functions, but read and re read the instructions. You will be fine. My only issue with it is the intervals. But otherwise like the watch.

I would buy a higher end treadmill if I was still running. This is a great little treadmill for our purposes. We walk about 30 minutes a day each and it is perfect for this. Serious running needs a sturdier treadmill.

Same thing I wanted! My solution was to use it as running and so I could at least get my heart rate while spinning. It told me I burned 45 calories however since it assumed I ran about .4 miles in 55 minutes.

I use runkeeper and mapmyrun. They both give calories burned; however, the purchased app gives more functions.

I concur. I found that it under-counted by 25-35% during aerobic activity and by even more for casual steps (40-50%). I have had good success with Omron pedometers in the $7-$10 price range.

Depending on how many watts your running you should get out anywhere from 3 to 5 miles
