How efficient is the electrical unit?

well when I first got it to fill it up and run it to the temp it was only 50.00 more on my bill now if you have the cover on it to keep it at the same temp it only runs about 25 per month, I was scared when I first got it what it would run..

I have only noticed about $20 more on my bill so far. We keep the cover on it all the time. We are in Ohio so do not know how much it will be this winter but so far not bad at all.

I had it two weeks and saw a $5 spike in my bill. I would say 10 - 15 bucks.

Just put it in my cabin (runs off an inverter). 1.4 amps and very efficient. Seems well insulated.

i'm no electrician but . . . the specs should have a number wrt to current usage, presumably watts, so in my logic, getting a suitable inverter wired into the loom should provide enough juice to run the unit, it couldn't be very much

Not a problem. We have an older home that has had serveral wiring jobs done on it over the years and a mix of 15 and 20 amp outlets. Unit works fine. It has been fun actually seeing what it costs to operate the different appliances we have. I especially like the remote feature of the display. You can place it where it can be easily viewed. Right now it is measuring the big screen TV. It runs about 24/7 and costs about $0.50 per day to use. Nice little unit from Belkin.

I can't say for certain, but I am using it in america and it tends to work well here with our electrics, it is rather efficient, I should suggest you elevate it for better effect

I think the question was... will this unit use 44 watts of power no matter the load? ie... will this unit still consume 44 wats if you only have a 5 watt load...My best guess is it will only use what it delivers to the load plus some wasted power in the 120 to 12 volt conversion process as there are no 100% efficient methods of conversion.

My wife and I use ours daily and lobe it. Regarding your question, I would check with a reputable shop that sells electrical supplies. You want to make sure that anything between the unit and wall outlet will handle the electrical load without overheating.

I have not experienced any issues with the power of this unit. It heats up quickly and smokes the food in a timely manner. You really only need more wattage with a larger box.

Well, its 12.5 amps per unit, so if its the only thing you are using you can have 8 running at the same time. I have 2 and they take care of my needs. But it ultimately depends on what else you have running.

To my experience, not at all! I am very pleased with these lights overall, I redid my entire house in them, testing my KWh meter before and after, nearly 2x as efficient!

This unit will use a 1.5 kilowatts per hour. So based on usage and your local electricity rates you will see what you average cost will be.

Not sure what you mean exactly by the question. I haven't had a chance to use the heating unit. It all depends on the size of the space as well. I do think it's a very effective unit and worth the price, but it's not as quiet as I hoped it would be.

Hmmm, regretfully, I have no way to measure the energy efficiency of the unit. On the other hand, given how poorly it seems to heat our front room even though it runs a great deal, I'm sure we will see a difference in our electric bill. Further, the oil filled heater that we formerly used probably is a bit more energy efficient (and overall, more efficient in heating the room) because the oil in the radiator hold heat.

The unit itself has no power-consumption rating that I can see. If I had to guess, I'd say it consumes probably as much power as a night-light, or less. The unit itself is basically a volt/amp meter coupled with a display - none of these are power-hungry components.

We used two of these to heat upstairs bedrooms. Thermostat seemed to be fairly tight and did not kick heater on/off constantly. Had baseboard everywhere else so can't say exactly how efficient...

Yes. Unit will still operate even if electrical power goes out. Btw unit produces ample hot water and is energy efficient

I did not know technical aspect but my electrician does and for my needs this was the unit to purchase. I wanted to run 3 major appliances at once plus lights and tv's. With this unit hooked up to my circuit breaker. I will be able to run everything just not all at once. I am feeling more relaxed and hope I do not need to use it. Hope this helps.
