does it run power bill up much

Not for us, but we don't need to use it that often. We use it as a supplemental heat source for our bedroom.

This item only puts out 4 watts, but we unfortunately do not have specs on how that would increase a utility bill. That question may be better suited for the electric company.

I can't say I noticed a serious spike in my bill. I don't run this unit on a continued basis. I would imagine you can contact the manufacture for usage data.

It doesn't. I don't know how they got the figure. I guess they assume you run it less then 2 hours a day. I pay $0.11 a kWh so according to my math (and this is quick math) its roughly 1.2 cent a hour to run.

Hi Mac. Not that I can tell. I can only assume that is hasn't, or, is costing less. I have not seen a jump in my power bill. The way this Whynter runs compared to the LG I had before tells me it draws less juice. Sorry I can't be more help then that.

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

Yes I believe it does but I can't say how much exactly. I have no way of comparing it to the past bills because I was using two regular space heaters that didn't do as good of a job. I do believe it keeps better warmth with less fluctuation and a larger area of the house is now at a constant temperature. My bill is still very high.

I think so! I am not noticing any bill escalations. It is set for 70 degrees for my 3rd level master bedroom area. It cuts off after 70 degrees. It should not be used for the entire house. Hope this helps.

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 am sorry to say I have no idea. This item is connected into the wall, and just like all of my electric lights, television, etc it does not come with a separate bill. Quite frankly, however, I cannot see it using very much since you cannot leave it on for an extended period of time.

I have no idea. It hasn't affected our electric bill at all. It would be just like a fan at different speeds.

I don't know about the total power consumption-it uses our regular 120v outlet in our bathroom. Have not noticed any increase in the electric bill...

It uses a reasonable amount of electricity. Last winter I went from oil heat to electricity only and my electric bill was less than 3 times the previous year during the coldest winter months here in New England.

It only added about $10/month to my electric bill. I don't know what that other person is talking about....mine is plugged in 24/7

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.
