How much does it cost to run for a month? Did it significantly raise your electric bill?

Sure, I am in Massachusetts, where it is quite humid in the summer. I use it throughout the summer, almost everyday for at least 12 hours, sometimes more if I am working from home. I would say the its adds about $30.00 a month to my bill during the summer.

In 6 Months and 6500 miles on my Nissan LEAF my electric bill has gone up $25 a month. So 2.3 cents per mile including the Leviton being on all the time for 6 months. There are people who have installed a disconnect switch with a sub-panel next to the EVSE. But I figure that with the EVB40 being on that it will cost me an extra $10.00 per year at 15 watts. Not really sure if it's worth the extra electrical equipment and your time to turn it off every single day for $10 savings per year.

Since they are to be used as supplemental heaters (note that phrase: SUPPLEMENTAL HEATERS), their impact on your bill should be negligible. We used ours quite a bit for the last 2 1/2 months of last winter, and our bill increased about $10 a month. I consider that a pretty bearable cost to keep my wife warm!

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 has reduced my electric bill by about 10 or 15 dollars a month during the winter. I love mine., I turn mine on as soon as it start getting cold and furnace doesn't come on only a couple times a night. depends how cold it get.

It didn't go up much higher for me. The amount I saved on my gas bill pretty much transferred to electricity, but previously I was freezing in my second floor bedroom at night while my 1st floor living room was almost too warm. At least now the heat is where I need it to be. I was considering getting a thermostat controlled heater because sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night and its in the upper 80's in my room.

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.

in my region the unit costs $1.00 an hour to run on the 5000 watt mode. so its actually quite expensive to run if it were to run for several hours each day, we just run it on weekends when were in the gararge and that's about it but works very well!

At .18/kWh, the Low is $3.50/month, the medium is $6.75/month, and the high is $15/month. A fair estimate on auto is about $4.50 per unit per month added to your electricity bill.

Very little. We live in a total electric home and noticed little change in our cost. Very efficient, also.

It of course depends on you usage, but the one I was using as a primary heat source in a 32' camper raised the bill around 125$ a month, in Wyoming through 2 winters. The one we now use in our garage raises the bill around 50$ a month and is used 2-3 hours a day on average.

I never programmed the cost per KWh so I never worried about resetting when moving from device to device. I have had the unit for a couple months and first used it for a month on my 30 year old fridge. It used 100 KWh during that month. My tier 1 cost is $.13/KWh so I know it cost $13/mo to run. It is now on a freezer in my garage for a month. Its a lot newer and so far used a lot less that the fridge. Sorry I couldn't help you but I never bothered programming because of multiple tiers of electricity cost. Now I have gone solar so I am always in tier 1.

From a $$$ perspective, we run ours about 12 hours a day. Impact on electric bill is about $1 per day. Hope this helps.

Not as far as I know. I ran mine all summer while it was plugged into a standard household outlet shared with a lamp, an alarm clock, and a digital phone auxiliary charger. I am using a heavy duty extension cord to connect from the outlet to the A/c cord. BTW-on case you are interested, we did have a cooler summer than last but still my electric bill over the summer was about $100 less than 2013.

It doesn't. I don't know how they got the figure. I guess they assume you run it less then 2 hours a day. I pay $0.11 a kWh so according to my math (and this is quick math) its roughly 1.2 cent a hour to run.

Don't know, but I've used it an awful lot and have not noticed a significant increase in my electric bill.

It works quite well and we use it to cool a 2 room cabin. It raises our electric bill by about $20 per month when we run it a lot.
