Does anyone know how much this costs to operate (electricity) per day or week?

Using it daily on the low setting I don't see any impact on my electric bill. The comfort from the extra moisture and the added warmth of the air since it's more humid make up for the minor cost of operation.

Honestly I am not aware of the daily electrical costs, but I do not remember seeing any significant increase on our bill. I hope this helps.

The HWM6000 uses 327 watts on "High", 163 watts on "Low", and 0 watts on "Off". Assuming 15¢ per KWH, running the unit on high for 24 hours would cost $1.1772. Meanwhile, low would cost $0.5868

I used my Kill-A-Watt to measure mine and after 2275 hours on it broke down to 26 cents a day/ $7.99 a month to keep my 14' by 12' office at 70 degrees. Very efficient. It pulls 11amps/1262watts when running at full blast. I've had mine for at least 4 years and it still works wonderfully.

It is rated at 17 watts. So 17watts x 24 hours x 30 days = 12240 watt-hours or 12.240 kw. At $0.10 per kw it would cost $1.24.

That is possible if you run it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It uses a vast amount of electricity. I use mine from Friday to Sunday every weekend and my electric bill went up $200.

I have no idea. But I've been running 2 since the first part of June and the electric bill has gone down a little over the winter bill. Hope that helps. De Lorme

I haven't got the bill yet. I plan to install more solar colectors to offset the cost. I have a 20K system now and SCE will not let me install more until I use more electricity!!

Do lots more research before making any purchase. You saying 750KWH/month says to me (750 / 30) 25KWh/day. If that were solar panels, that would be about 12,500 Watts of solar panels in a 2 sun/hour day area. Somehow I expect you mean something else, tho some homes use that.

I have only had the unit for 2 weeks so I haven't been through a complete billing cycle for my electric bill.I used to have an ozone machine many years ago but lost it. I never noticed a significant change in my electric bill when I used it.I believe the draw on your electricity will be quite miniscule.Ed

It uses about 500 watts per hour. Utility departments usually charge by 1000 watts per hour (kilowatts per hour.) so it would take about 2 hours for 1 kilowatt rates per kilowatt ranges from 7 cents to 12 cents depending on your total electrical usage. In my case LADWP charges 7 cents for the first 350kwh 8 cents for the next 700kwh and 12 cents for the next 1050 kwh. So to find out how much your bill will increase multiply how many hours per day it will be use x the number of days in your electric bill cycle usually is 60 days x .08 cents (which is average for most people unless you use a lot of electricity.

See http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/estimating-appliance-and-home-electronic-energy-useThe unit is 580 watts.Based on the calculator on the above page, I probably spend about $12/month to run the distiller (I distill about a gallon per day). Assuming I've done the math right ;)

Find your kWh rate, typically around 10-20cents an hour. This I think is 1.5 kw so 15-30 cents an hour.

I think ours must run about $30 a month and we live in a high electricity cost area. Friction heating ts a lot cheaper than using a heating element.

This could run constantly if the pond is below 40 F. In that case, cost is $3-5 per day, depending on cost of electricity. This could add $50-150 per month as it gets colder.Example: 1500 watt x 24 hour = 36 kw-hrif electric costs 0.15 $/kw-hr = $5.40 per dayIt typically turns on at 45 F and off at 60 F.

Well, since you asked:I would assume a rate of $0.10/kwh So just multiply that times the estimated usage vs an incandescent bulb of equivalent wattage.Have fun with this one!

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.

Not sure... My friend who is an electrician help install it. He figure out it would cost me about .75 cents an hour to run it up here in Juneau Alaska ..... Think we are up to something like .12 cents a kilowatt hour. Hope that helps you.
