how much have you notice a change in your electric bill?

Not sure, I use this at a room I rent when I travel for work and the electricity is included in my bill. Although they haven't said that it went up any. I have used it for two summers.

Where I used mine....I didn't have an electric bill. But....the efficiency of these is lower than a standard window unit. You are using interior air to cool the condensor, then pumping that now hot air...outside. But if you're pumping air out, it has to come in from somewhere. That somewhere is outside hot air. I would only recommend a portable unit like this if it is your only and last choice. The unit itself works fine, just poor efficiency.

$40, maybe $60 more a month. That's with 20hr consistent daily use. Keep in mind before purchase thst this unit can only handle a very small room or area. Will not cool down a normal size room much.

Hardly anything at all. I was expecting a big bump, but actually it is less than my winter bill when I use electric heat. This unit has a very convenient timmer so when I leave in the am I set it to come on about 2 hours before I get home and that's enough to cool my apartment to a comfortable level and this way it's not running all day. ~Hope this helps :)

Hi IRO,Power bills will vary, however the national average is below $.18/ kw. Using this number and a Belkin watts/hours monitor, it costs about $154/month on highest setting running 24hrs. Conversely, in different states gas and electric prices vary, while if your central air is on gas and cheaper and then this electric heater is charging more the increase is explained.

No, they are fluorescent bulbs. I never noticed any increase at all in my electric bill. I had the light on for approximately 6am to 10pm, 7 days a week for 3 or 4 months.

Thanks very much for the response. After entering my question, I figured out how to fake it myself with what I've got. I just put the cost of electricity at 1.00 per kWh. So now after any amount of time, instead of it telling me how much money I've used each month/year, etc... I just read how many kWh I've used each time period. Sometimes you have to be smarter than the $20 device, but it isn't always easy. :)

I made the mistake of leaving it running for a few weeks this winter so that it was ready whenever I wanted to use it. Big mistake. My electricity bill went from an average of $60-$75, to a whopping $235! Unfortunately, it's not really an option for me to keep it heated during the cold winter months (I live in Sacramento, CA).

I'm not sure how much exactly, but I haven't noticed any significant change in my bill since I have it, more than 3 months now, and I use it 4 to 5 hours daily...

As far as electricity goes I am unsure. I did not see a change in my monthly utility bill. The unit does give off alot of heat so you have to store in a large treatment area. But the outside is very hot to the touch as well so watch the youngsters

I hang laundry outside from about April until thanksgiving, then it get too cold, and I would say that my electric bill decreases by about $100 a month, we are a family of 6 although 2 are at college at the present. I would say that the decrease is mostly through not using the tumble dryer.

i didnt see too much of a difference. I didnt run mine 24/7 but i didnt see a big difference on my electric bill. I am very pleased with this products, and probably will be getting another set.

I do not know the answers to your first two questions but I can say we have not seen a noticeable increase in our electricity bill since we installed the ionizer.

Don't know, but I've used it an awful lot and have not noticed a significant increase in my electric bill.

The amount of power doesn't change if you use the tray or the hose. My electric bill has gone up about $15- $20 a month, but my basement is very comfortable to walk into. Doesn't have that moldy, musty smell anymore.

That depends on your current electric rates. Right now I'm driving close to 40 miles a day and my electric bill had increased by approximately 45 dollars a month. The equivalent gas would cost between 200 and 300 a month

Don't know but I can tell you that I see no change in our electric bill when we use it so it must be very little.Also, its great since there's separate controls on it. My wife heats up her side all night and I just heat my side up about 5 minutes prior to going to bed and then turn it off. Very satisfied with it to date.

I run mine on low speed most of the time and noticed a $20 savings on my first month. It wasn't a full month, so I'll know more this month. I'm sure there is an energy savings because PG&E; gave me a $100 rebate and it is an energy star.

I don't know. I only used it twice last Summer about and hour each time and I didn't know any difference on my electric bill.
