I see that this ooler is Energy Star compliant. Does anyone know how much it costs per year to run?

Yes it's 12.79 per year if you don't use the hot water often. Should u need this ooler for the hot water it runs 23.75 a year.

Not knowing your set up, it's hard to say. I'm 100 % off grid. I figure the w. Gen saved me about 15 to 20% last winter of gas cost maybe even more. I have nothing on paper but know I ran the gas generator a lot less last winter. Summer is about 1 % at best. I'm in Michigan where it is very poor for wind generators.

This unit is Energy Star certified, whereas the earlier one wasn't. The EPA has set limits on the amount of energy required to create 1 BTU of cooling. This unit meets those limits, the earlier one apparently didn't

We installed this unit in FL in January 2013. The unit heated our 11000 gallon inground pool from 73 to 92 degrees in 70-75 degree weather. It did so in a matter of 24-36 hours. However, we found it to be too expensive in the power used. Our bill went from $150 to $1500, so we had to shut it off and now use it on a very limited basis. Unless your electric bill is not an issue, you should beware of this issue.

Can,t tell you exactly because I am on propane-billed yearly, but it is one hell of a lot cheaper than electric.

If the former is true than the latter will be much to close to impossible. If they both are true than that must mean that 3.6LPM/52GPH is the base rate but it can be adjusted to 68GPM/4,080GPH which like I said before sounds crazy unreal for the price and energy voltage...... listen I am going to get a measurement of the rate once I get it in the post.

Funny you should ask that. We just tested to see how much it cost us to run it for a month it came out to around $80.00. That was to run it all day everyday to keep the temp ready for use at any time.

I checked around on-line and wasn't able to find any energy-star certification info for water heater insulation blankets. Best bet would be to contact the mfr.

It is hard for me to tell as where I use it is in my motor home and there is a surcharge on our energy use of about 20%I relly like the unit and have had it for at least two years I bought another one for my Daughter last year and she loves it too. I see that krogers has them on sale for 98 dollars this week in Bellingham WA at the Fred Meyer store I would guess that it depends on how cold it is and how big the space is, and if you are offsetting someother heat sourse.

I am currently running two Gen-4 heaters in my house (on two separate levels). I just compared my electric bill from Nov 2012 and it is approximately $179 more for the month than last year. The usage graph was shown to be significantly higher, and I have not identified anything else that we have done differently. That said, the heaters work well and we are very happy with them. The amount of fuel that we have used for the main heating system (coal) is substantially lower and at least offsets the higher cost for the use of the heaters. it is also cleaner than coal and since the furnace is not running as much there is also less work with ash removal, etc. All said, we are more than satisfied with the purchase and will happily continue to use the heaters.

Is that 50mw per year? If so how much would that be in dollars? thxRe: USB Charger/Tamper Resistant Outlet cat. no T5630 idle current draw?It is below 50mw as compared to Cooper who was twice ours and Pass & Seymour which was over 4 times ours.

This unit claims to use 10 watts. There are 8760 hours in a year. So this would use about 87.6 KWH (kilowatt hours). Assuming you pay about 12 cents / KWH, it works out to about $10.50 a year.

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.

It will cost a lot if you are trying to heat a room with this on its own 24/7. I would have less concern over running this unit 24/7 due to being attached to the wall. Once it reaches set temp it runs on power save (500 watts) to maintain temp.

Mine says 36 watts on the bottom. If you have average electric rates of $0.10 / kWh), it would 9 cents per 24 hour day or $2.60 per month to operate continuously. If your electric rates are on the low side (Midwest and Pacific NW), maybe half that. If your rates are high (New England, California, Alaska, Hawaii), than twice as much.We (in Kenai, Alaska) leave one plugged in all the time in the Winter and rotate whose shoes are on it. If we've just come back from a skiing or fishing trip, than I've two more in the garage that I plug in as needed.

I'm sure you can but have no idea of the cost. ENERGY's Customer Service number in the U.S. is 1-866-441-8208. And when you get a new one, program it's functions into your TV or Cable remote. Then you won't even have to keep up with it.

I used a kill-a-watt to measure how much power is used. I'm assuming a worst case scenario of 24hrs a day operation and a power cost of 10 cents per kwh. In the fan high mode, the unit uses 65watts. 65watts x 24hrs=1560 watts /1000= 1.56kwh x .10= 15.6 cents per day 1.56kwh x 30=46.8kwh x .10= $4.68 per month 46.8kwh x 12=561.6kwh x .10= $56.16 per year Keep in mind that your unit will probably never run anywhere near 24hrs a day so cost will be lower. Mine ran non-stop for 2-3 days and now it cycles on and off on low to easily maintain 40% humidity for 2100 sqft. For those interested, the unit draws 55 watts on medium, and 45 watts on low.
