Can any of you tell me how much this raised your electric bill?

Yes an increase of approx $25.00/month based on Florida elec prices - equates to an increase of 250 kWH/month

I could see no difference and my bill might have been even higher. Keep in mind some winters are warmer/colder than others. I know my bill was NOT 45 percent less as advertized.

Good question... we don't have lots of data points yet since the unit has only be running two months at this point... but, it appears our electric utility bill has increased by about 100%. In other words, running the humidifier doubles our electric bill... and increase of $80 per month for our home or about $2.70 per day to run the unit. We are running our humidity at a very high setting.. almost 50% and the unit is wired as 220VAC to help increase the output. Also, this is over a 2,800 sq ft area. We are very pleased with the unit and have heard the same from others in our area. This is our first season with the Aprilaire. We are curious how the canister will hold up over time. We hope this helps answer your question.

My husband is working outside of Tonopah NV which is pretty cold. He is living in the motorhome and leaves the heater on 52 while at work. The power bill increased by about $40 dollars which isn't bad when you think he presently has 3 heaters going 24/7 as he has a heater in the back bedroom and one under the motorhome.

it raises my electric bill from $20 to $30 in the summer. it works so well that it is worth the expense.

Definitely not! Our electric company will provide us with a special meter that can plug into ANY device, and it shows you how much energy is being used and at what cost. They should probably look into something like that in their state. But we did not see any significant increase like that. Sorry you are experiencing such an issue, because it really is a great product, and our son and daughter have both benefited from its use. Good luck!

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.

I have not noticed any increase in my electric bill. The fan is used primarily in a bedroom on the medium setting. It works great!

Hi Kim, my wife and I had the same concerns that you are having before we purchased our Duraflame. We used our Duraflame last winter and was very surprised at how little our electric bill went up. I can't tell you the exact numbers as to cost and electrical use but I can tell you not to worry about usage. Hope this helps. Bill

Maybe it depends on where you live, but I have never seen a spike in my electric bill from using my mower, either this one or the one before it. I specifically watched for it with my old (first) one, thinking that would be a problem, but as far as I can tell, it isn't.

I am not conscientious checking the power usage but I have not noticed a drastic increase showing up on my bill.

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.

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. :)

Our electric bill increased less than$8/mo (run heater 8-9 hrs/day in our sunporch here in MI). Bear in mind we use the 1500 Edenpure. Recommend you use a 1500 - cost might be more, but it will pay for itself.

I wish I could help you with that but I'm not certain. I certainly haven't noticed a difference in my electric bill, and my son uses this fan every night. The one negative I have to say is that it was only used for a couple weeks before it started making a very annoying noise while oscillating. It has therefore only been used in a fixed position since. If you want a good oscillating fan, this may not be the one for you.

Not that I've noticed. I also didn't notice any increase in our electric bill but you mileage may vary.

I am using the heater 8 Hrs. a day to keep my TV room at 70 degrees. I can not say how much my electric bill has gone up because I have an all electric house and the weather this year has been very cold.
