How does affects your electric bill if you run it 24/7, I don't think is EnergyStar certified.

We run ours 24/7 and I have never noticed any increase in electric usage. Remember its basically just a fan.

My wife runs it for about 12 hours a day in our bedroom, and we have not seen any appreciable difference in our electric bill. I really couldn't put a figure on it.

LXF: My previous response was incorrect: The rating label reads 55 WATTS, not Amps! Here is the corrected version:Your electric bill will increase as follows: The rating label on the unit says it draws 55 Watts (maximum) @ 120VAC. Running the unit for 24 hrs per day: = 55W x 24 hours = 1320 Watt-hrs (Wh) per day. Running it 24/7 : = 1320Wh per day x 365days /year = 481800 Watt-hrs/1000 = 481 KWh per year. Multiply 481 by the price you pay per (KWh) from your local utility (found on your monthly billing statement). For example: If you pay $0.23 per KWh, then $0.23 x 481 KWh = your cost to run the unit 24/7 = $110.81 per year, or $110.81/12 = $9.24 per month, or 0.30 per day. Apologies for any confusion.

Hi H. Kae, thanks for the question. The Hunter 53249 is NOT Energy Star Certified, and neither is the 53250. We hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please reach out to one of our experts. They know everything, and they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

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.

I absolutely love this little heater! My electric bill dropped from $150 to $50. Yes mine turns off and on sometimes quickly but it is producing heat. I changed the mode around and back. It got better. I would contact them and ask what can be done if it persists.

It has made my electric bill go down. I had electric heat in my apt, and got this to use instead. It helps because I just heat up one room at a time (the room I'm in at the time) so it helps that I'm not heating the entire apt.

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

Hiya, Pat. I'm not sure where you live, but in my neck of the woods (large midwestern city), in order to connect to the 'grid', the power company requires that the installation be completed by licensed/bonded electricians. State, county, city electric codes are rigorously enforced here. So I would also check with a competent electrical contractor to ascertain how they deal with the modifications you intend to use. Where I live, at least, the contractors are willing to work with you. edit: "Due to the cost of systems, most people do not buy large systems to "sell back." And utilities usually only pay full retail rate for your electricity until your meter hits zero. When you start producing a surplus, most utilities will not pay more than "avoided cost" --for example, their fuel charges, which are usually not more than $0.02 to $0.04 per kWh." -- Chapter 14 Grid-Tie Systems, "The Complete Idiot's guide to SOLAR POWER for YOUR HOME 2nd ed. by Dan Ramsey with David Huges." cheers,

Yes, I believe energy star is mandated by law effectively in the USA. The SEER/EER efficiency is quite good for a system of this size.

Yes. Its got a big Energy Star Sticker and I've noticed a decrease in my electrical bill in the 9 months its been operational.

Yes it does. For one, it takes a while to heat up. And for another, I had it running more than 12 hours a day. My electric bill went up by more than half.

Nah, you can run it 24/7 if you like. It has a thermostat, anti freeze setting and overheat shutoff. I leave mine on 24/7 with no problems. Just make sure you run it on at least a 15 amp circuit.

No, it is not Energy Star certified. But there are not any standard bulb shaped 100 watt equivalent LED bulbs out except this one.

I only run it during rainy periods for 24-48 hours at a time. I haven't notice any great impact on my electric bill.

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 checked around on-line and wasn't able to find any energy-star certification info for water heater insulation blankets. Best bet would be to contact the mfr.

It depends, I had it running on lower heat 24/7 because the bedroom I had it in was the master with tile floor and large, the electric bill more than doubled for me

Used in a closed up 10X10 room, on sometimes all day and night, cant say the PGE(energy bill) shot way up or could tell at all. We dont use it every day either. As needed.
