How much would PG&amp;E charge for electricity used?

They'll charge exactly what you use. It's just like running your air conditioner. If you run it for 2 hours they charge you for 2 hours. Electricity is electricity. They are not going to charge you more because you own an electric car.

I'm pretty sure you would spend more on gas to run the generator than you will on electricity. That's just my guess.

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

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

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.

Only way to determine that is to 1. Check power bills before and after use or 2. Look at power consumption 1500w and multiply by cost per 1000w (1kw) you pay for electricity. My unit is used to get one room (150sq ft) in my 1700 square ft house really warm and this saves me money.

Looking at Andrey's links and having the power consumption be about 10.2 watts at all times, it equals ~$9 per year annually if the current price remains at around $0.10/kW-Hour.

Yes, as long as an electrician installs the heater. Bear in mind that it uses 1500 watts. At $0.15 a kilowatt, this will be $101 per month. Finally, remember it only heats the surface three-four feet away from the heater, or about 25 square feet.

That depends on your current electric rates. Right now I'm driving close to 40 miles a day and my electric bill had increased by approximately 45 dollars a month. The equivalent gas would cost between 200 and 300 a month

I had the same question and looked up the wattage which stated 56. So if it ran on that setting 24 hours that's 1.3 KW or approximately 1,344 watts per day. I'm paying on average 17 cents per kilowatt, that would be roughly 22 cents per day, $80.00 per year.

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.

This unit will use a 1.5 kilowatts per hour. So based on usage and your local electricity rates you will see what you average cost will be.

Nothing. Because we use it in our RV when connected to park electricity. I would guess, very very little in charges.

I have my PEET plugged into a Kill-A-Watt meter, with my rates, leaving my dryer plugged in for months, my daily cost is $.09, monthly cost is $2.80.

Hi IRO,Power bills will vary, however the national average is below $.18/ kw. Using this number and a Belkin watts/hours monitor, it costs about $154/month on highest setting running 24hrs. Conversely, in different states gas and electric prices vary, while if your central air is on gas and cheaper and then this electric heater is charging more the increase is explained.

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!

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. :)
