How much electricity does it take to run a Gen3 Edenpure per month ?

I have two since '08. I live in NWPA. One I use only in my basement low mode, which runs 24/7 when single digits hit. One I use on my first floor constantly if I am at home in the day and definitely in the evening as an additional supplemental heat because I have no heat source in my kitchen and tends to make the whole down stairs cool. My electric bill increased last winter by approx. $35 a month, my gas bill I found before I had them ran higher without having them. Short of the long, for what I am paying in electricity I am saving in gas. Definitely a better heat. An increase if there is one is minimal enough because my gas bill drops. I would go out and replace either if they failed. I have two since '08. I live in NWPA. One I use only in my basement low mode, which runs 24/7 when single digits hit.

We have ours in an rv and electric bill is included with our lot rent.It does what it's suppose to do but this is our first winter with it.

That's impossible to answer, because it depends on your inside environ(wall insulation, flooring, furniture etc) and at what temp you're trying to maintain in a given living space. It will significantly increase your electric bill if you're trying to use it as a primary living space heater. However, they are a lot more efficient then your standard quartz, cheapo heater bought and seen at most retailers. The Achilles Heel of these EdenPure heaters are the bulbs-see my review. As long as they insist on using the Sylvania element bulbs made in Mexico, actual service life will be poor.

We run two.One that is for a room only and other is for 1000 sq ft.I have a house that is close to1600 sq ft and it warms the while house running the two.Lightbill this month was &117.Last yr it was over $200 running heat pump.We set our heat at 70 so that we Never get cooler than that but the eden pures are keeping house at 72 .It is a warmer feeling heat.

not much more than a 1500 watt ceramic heater, but i would not ever buy anothe quarts heater again, the eaen pure i had caused a fire all most cost me my life.i totally reccomend a ductless heat pump mitsibushi brand preferable i have one and i love it suppose to save about 40% on electric bill just got it 20 days ago so far i love it.

in my region the unit costs $1.00 an hour to run on the 5000 watt mode. so its actually quite expensive to run if it were to run for several hours each day, we just run it on weekends when were in the gararge and that's about it but works very well!

Can't be per month, as it's rated at 10 KW output, which if it ran 24/7 (i.e. in the dark too) for a month, would only produce 10KW * 24 hours * 30 days = 7,200 KWH. A number nearer to reality would be 10 KW * 8 hours/day * 365 = 29,200 KWH, which assume it's always perfectly sunny and output is at peak level. So under realistic conditions in a very sunny location (Arizona say), I might believe 20,000 KWH per year.

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.

Not really sure. I run mine on a generator at an off grid cabin. The 3000 watt generator runs hard to keep up. These units not as efficient as a window unit. The cabin is 450 square feet and on hot (98 deg. Plus) days it runs hard and can't get it below 77 deg. That said I don't think they are efficient.

no way, its the cheapest , i ran gens in the woods for years, this one lasted less than \1 week.for that much power, you need something really really big, more than 2 times that size.

I am using this exact 3000w inverter to run a full size refrigerator and a full size chest style freezer. I have it connected to 6 batteries and 2 - 100w solar panels. it works GREAT during the day - at night I give it an added boost of a 2 amp trickle charger that I have put on a timer to come on at 9PM and off at 6AM its been running this way since Jan 5 2014

As it comes from the factory, you would have to have a convertor. I run my BladeRunner on standard 110V house electricity. I know that there are convertos available, but I don't know how much they cost. I'm sure you can contact Rockwell online and I expect they could tell you how and where and how much it would cost for a convertor. I don't think they cost a lot.

With 12 hours a day usage, it should be around 1 kw a week or 50 Kw a year. The problem though, is that due to the bad quality of the unit, they turn into permanently "ON" lights after some few weeks of use and the electricity consumption will raise along. I do not recommend anybody to purchase this unit

1500 watts = 1.5kw hours for each hour it runs full blast. For each hour it runs, multiply your electric bill kwh rate (usually about 10 cents) by 1.5. So if it runs 10 hours a day full blast, that's 10 hours x 1.5 kwh x .10 cost = $1.50 per day.

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 had written to the company about this, they said 40W/hour.EDIT: I had written about three other models, not this one. The company is response to requests for information though, I suggest contacting them.

We will never get a clear answer on that question. Too many variables. This little gen is only going to be able to get about a 25% charge in a couple of hours. This runs my 25amp house charger with 2 type 34dc batteries and I get a good "top em off affect". Batteries need 8 plus hours of low amp charging to get the last 25% of charge. I'm not sure if this will help but I tried. I feel this little gen is an easy insurance policy to keep the heat and lights going on multi day stays. I wouldn't use the dc charger on the gen unless my converter charger failed to operate.

Funny you should ask that. We just tested to see how much it cost us to run it for a month it came out to around $80.00. That was to run it all day everyday to keep the temp ready for use at any time.

This is a low-voltage device. The power pack consumes 20 watts. If my math is correct, that's 50 hours of use per kilowatt hour (most likely the unit fee for your electricity) consumed. You will probably spend more replacing octenol cartridges and light bulbs in this unit than you will on electricity.

Yes since your gen is 7000 watts it will only draw what is needed from gen you are not pouring 7000 watts into the box. Your gen is able to produce 7000 watts only when it is needed. Hope this helps you out.

I can't tell you how much power the unit draws but I found that it increased my electric bill about $15 per month while it was running and there is a drain hose so you don't have to use the tray. The drain hose is short but you could hook up your own hose to extend it.
