How much does it cost per hour to run this heater on its highest setting

I honestly have no idea. All I can attest to is that when we use this heater to complement our heating system, we have realized a significant savings in our use of propane.

The high setting on the heater is 1,500 watts which is equal to [1.5 kilowatts] - (kilo = 1000).Your electric company rate charge is based on "kilowatt hours usage" - the number of kilowatts of electric you use in one hour. What do you pay per kilowatt hour (usually around 9 - 12 cents per kilowatt hour is typical) - it should be listed on your bill? Multiply that "per Kilowatt hour rate charge" times 1.5 kilowatts (heater on high). Example: 1.5 X .10 = 15 cents "per hour."

Do not know, all I do know is when I turn the NewAir - 450 on my room heats up in about 10 minutes. Size of the room is 22x18. The best I have ever bought.

in my city the electric cost is 9.5 cents per kelo watt hour. the unit is 1500 watts on high. so to run it on high it would coust me 14.25 cents per hour. on energy saving mode the unit is 950 watts and it would cost me 10 cents per hour.

In the pacific northwest it is adding about $75 a month to keep one small room at 68 during the day and 65 at night (a bit less expensive than the other space heaters I have owned). A drawback to the low power feature is that the thermostat is set at 68, so if you want a lower temperature the heater has to be put on high or medium power.

No, this is for 220, sure saves money on your electricity. Set timer to heat water only when you need it.

Hello Melissa, I am happy to respond to your question. However it is impossible to know for sure because it depends on many variables including your own cost of electricity, wind speed, air temperature, and incoming water temperature! However I can tell you that this unit will give you a 1°F - 1.5°F temperature rise per hour and will use 27 kilowatts of electricity per hour.Kind regards,RossGadgetsGo

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

I do. This is the third winter. No problems. I use the heater on the "low" setting. At high it would be about 1500 watts. At low, a bit over half that. Gets the bathroom warm in a couple minutes

Unfortunately, no. This would be a great little heater except for the cost of running it. I'm afraid to use it since it cost me over $100 extra in electricity and I only used it about three hours a day for a week.

According to manual the highest heat setting is 450 F. Temperature controller plug states 1500W.

Depends on your electricity $ rate and how much you run the heater. Comparing my electric bill last month not running the heater to this month running it on the high setting non-stop day and night, it has increased my bill about $17/month. It is the only heat source we have used this month to heat our 1500 sq ft house, with over night temps down to freezing.

the $80 answer is outrageous!!! I guess different places have different electric prices but if we left ours on for about 12-15 hours a day, every day, our bill went up by 25-30$ a month, MAX. It also depends what type of space you are heating and how well insulated it is. We find it extremely helpful in an old house in the high rockies but a family member in Florida (who is trying to heat an uninsulated house) finds it nice but not as helpful as we do. We can't live without it and as people with a very low electric bill, we do not find this heater to add any stress to our bill. we've had it two years and i highly recommend it. especially for the price - comparable heaters are much more.

You can set it on low or high,incidentally all of the heaters we bought for the work place no longer work. Not a GOOD PRODUCT

We love this heater. It shuts off when reaching desired temperature. We turn it down at night. Yes, when running, it is always at 1500 watts.

WE're careful about how much we use it, but we live in SoCal with the highest electric rates in the continental US. You can do the arithmetic yourself. The heater runs at 750 (L) and 1500 (H) watts. Look at a recent electrical bill and see what the cost/kWhr is in your area. Let's say its $0.20/kWhr (typical for SoCal), then 1 hour of using the heater at high will run you $0.30 (1.5kW x $0.20/kWhr), and one month of this will run you 30 days x $0.30/day = $9.00/ month. If you live in the Pacific Northwest, like my in-laws, where electricity is cheap ($0.06/kWhr), then it will cost a lot less (only $2.70/month) for that 1 hour/day.

It depends on the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour (kw-hr) from your power company. A kw-hr is 1000 watts of electrical load for 1 hour. So, for each hour of operation, that heater uses 1.5 kw-hrs. Multiply that by the cost of the electricity per kw-hr and you'll know how much that heater costs to run each hour. Then multiply that by the number of hours it's operating in a month and you'll know the impact on your monthly bill. For example, if electricity costs 10 cents per kw-hr, the heater costs 15 cents an hour to operate. That's $3.60 per 24 hour day, $25.20 per 7 day week, and $108 for a 30-day month.

Here in NJ, it cost me $1.28/day to run, which is 38.46 for one heater per month. I used five in my downstairs, which is open, about 750 square feet, and my house was COLD! These were very expensive to buy in the first place, expensive to run, and did not keep my house warm.
